I love this site. Most of my Trader Joes items are already in the system. I faithfully log everything I eat and everything that I do; I have lost 2.6 pounds each of the last two weeks. I workout every afternoon while my two year old naps and take Sundays off because I work Saturday night shift as a nurse so, I basically don't sleep for 48 hours. I have been working out since June 1st to fight the effects of quitting smoking. I knew that I couldn't justify smoking if I was working out to become healthy and that I couldn't workout and then go have a cig. From June first until the 30th I really wasn't trying to limit my food intake other than decreasing carbs but after some no smoking days under my belt I found this site. I am so glad I found this site because now that I started to use it I have lost weight. I am feeling better and it's been 26 days since I smoked. I know that I can live with this plan. I actually had Sunday dinner with my family tonight and I about cried that I didn't have to say no to the ww pasta or no to the olive oil but just limit the amount and take a true portion. I would very much like to loose 40 pounds by Christmas and 80 pounds by next summer. I think I can do it! I think I can...I think I can...:tongue:
