i'm new but not new. I joined back in August but havent posted in the forums or anything until this week. I am trying to lose about 15-20 pounds and though that isnt much I need some encouragement. - especially living in the Lone Star State where all the good barbecue food is. :blushing:

    Welcome, I love barbecue! We call it something different here in WI - a fry out. I don't know why we call it that.

    I live in Texas too, I know how that food can be so tempting! Agggh! Lol! Excercising has really helped me. I hated to excercise but I started doing Zumba and its fun because it feels like your just dancing. I try to go at least 3 times a week. Most of the time when I don't feel like going and feel lazy I push myself to go and I leave happy that I went and not as tired as I expected to be afterwards. Zumba burns at least 500 calories an hour so that is pretty good. I usually make Saturdays my "cheat days" since that is usually when I am out and about with my boyfriend, but even then if I know we are going out to eat for dinner I eat something small and healthy during the day and try not to eat dinner past 7pm. I have lost 23 pounds so far, but I have a lot more to go! Good luck to you, you can do it!!!

    Hmm....Idk either. that is an interesting name for it. Whatever you name it, it's still tempting. My fiance can't help but get me a brisket sandwich and potato salad every time I am with him in Waco. Even if I tell him I can't have any that weekend he will still bring it home to suprise me. It's sweet, but counterproductive.:tongue:
