    1. Walk for 30 min
    2. Stay with calorie goal
    3. Drink 10 glasses of water
    4. Staying away from sugar
    continuing with my much more restrictive diet in an attempt to break this plateau. The first few days were the hardest. Hoping this will pay off soon.

    68myra, as you know grown children are exceptionally hard to parent. I know we have to stand back and let them make there own mistakes. Praying that you find peace.

    Today I reset my weight. Almost Sept 1st. Time to get serious. Fall is a good time to get really serious.
    The holidays will be coming up, but if I can continue, and stay serious until Christmas -- and beyond -- I know how much better I will feel!

    I am so far behind reading all the encouraging posts, and the ones you have really committed to taking this one day at a time. Now I am committed again also! And thank you to the ones who have kept this thread going!

    So just for today
    1. drink lots of water
    2. Watch my sugar - keep sugar as low as possible
    3. watch my carb count
    4. Be positive. Do not let past failings keep me on this path.

    Hi all! I want to give this idea a try! So since I usually check MFP late in the evening, I will tweak this a little so it works for me. I will do "just for tomorrow" instead.

    Just for tomorrow (9/1):
    - I will drink 8 cups of water

    Baby steps :)

    I love this concept!!! I have a pretty bad binge cycle...its gotten me to the heaviest I've ever been. And I feel so overwhelmed with the idea that I NEED to lose about 170 lbs or so...and that's so daunting to even type...let alone admit out loud :'( but today is a new day...a new month actually!! And I really want to do this! Maybe it will help me to focus...and not get scared of the long road ahead of me! Please add me, if you'd like....I need all the help and encouragement I can get!! And I'll try to return the favor of course!

    I'm pretty sure it's allergies not a cold, which still means extra liquids, but still some sort of exercise this evening.

    Yesterday
    I did SO good all day yesterday, until in the evening. Hubby wanted popcorn, and that was OK, except it got me started grazing all nite. I had bought little candy corns, and kept grabbing a handful. at a time - mindless eating.
    So today, I know I need to concentrate more on my nighttime snacking.

    SO Just for today.
    1. drink water when I want to snack - and wait 10 minutes!

    Terri - are you a quilter? Just wondering if this is what your Patchwork group is. I love to quilt and sew. Mostly in the evenings -- now if I can just keep doing this instead of grabbing snacks in between sewing :)
