    This is awesome! So much less overwhelming to set small goals. I am saying no to candy, soda, and sweets, and want to lose 10 lbs by St. Patrick's Day!

    Ok down another pound! Keep up the good work everyone! Just wanted to share that if you google 37 calorie brownie there is a great recipe. I eat one or two warmed up in microwave, put 40 cal (2TBS) light cool whip and 1/2 c frozen thawed strawberries on top! For about 150 calories you get a low fat high protein low carb treat. It's like a piece of heaven! o:)

    I don't think I checked in last night but here I am tonight. Still been having a hard time, life/family drama. I haven't been getting in all not my calories as my stomachs been in knots off and on. On the bright side I have been in less pain and have had less symptoms. Funny how that works for me, too bad I need/want to eat. I am 2 days without alcohol, and plan to carry on with eliminating that. I was down 2.2 pounds today, I think my goal was for 3 pounds. I likely will bounce up when I catch up with calories, but I hope to hang on to it.

    I was under my calorie goal yesterday and I made it to the gym. This weekend I am going out of town, heading to Long Island. I know there is a bagel in my future. I have to watch the beer and food consumption in order to stay on track. I am going to try to get out and walk. I have to be focused and not give in to every temptation. It is so hard when you have to leave your regular routine. I hate how easy the weight comes on but so hard to take off. UGH!!

    Today is day 10 for me. Haven't been as faithful to my elliptical but have managed at least 10 minutes when not feeling well. 20 minutes done this morning towards my 25 minute goal. Have stayed under my calorie limit 10 days in a row!!! 5 pounds down and 6 1/2 inches.
