    I lost 2.2 lbs when I weighed today, so total 4.6 lb loss, 50 lbs lost total since end of last February. After complaining about scale not moving for almost 3 weeks, this week it has finally started coming back off.In other words hang in there and continue to stick with your plan and the weight will eventually come off. I did cut back on my calories also, I went from 1440 to 1330, I figured I needed to change it up alittle. Good luck everyone. Stay motivated Easter will be here before you know it.

    Connie - I can't remember if I read The Thin Commandments but I did read
    Sugar, Salt and Fat and how the corporations are poisoning us with chemicals in processed food. That really opened my eyes.

    No way I would have a donut for breakfast...that would have a domino effect on me...I would just continue eating them. Who eats just one?

    :D Connie, little by little through experience I have eliminated foods from my eating plan. If a food has no serious nutrition, I don't eat it and if I can't be moderate with it, I don't eat it at all. There are a few foods that I eat only at a chosen special occasion.

    :D Marie and Shirley, I go back to "The Thin Commandments Diet" for a refresher from time to time and reread the parts that I found useful.

    I'm on a 2 day streak of getting my 10000 steps done! Since I don't have time or money for a gym I am getting creative. I walked 3,000 steps just by parking far in parking lots running errands and then another 2,000-3,000 can be done just by walking in place during dishes and cleaning the house :) I joined the late night snacks group to help me there! I was 195 last week and my goal is to lose 2.5 pounds per week.

    I am starting a little late but would love to join the challenge. I just joined MFP am doing well a few days in. I have successfully lost weight in the past using a similar forum. I recently quit smoking and gained back 20 lbs. I am now over the hump and ready to get the weight off. My current weight is 166 and I would love to be under 150...140 would be fantastic!
