    I almost gave up when I gave 3 pounds instead of losing. Then I read so many postings that gives me motivation and support. I would like to be 155-157 by the end of Feb. I need to work in some exercise but it is so boring..... I do like to dance doing the WII so I may have to get it back from the grandkids.

    Some of that is water. I started tracking and trying to stay under the Mayo Clinic recommended sodium intake (not MFP's which is higher).

    I had replaced my evening couch potato time with a trip to the gym 6 nights a week where I do a variety of hour long cardio and stretch sessions. (Weight training is coming at some point... working my way up to it so as to avoid re-injuring my back). Decided I needed to look at my 8-5 routine.

    I work from a home-based office (in an addition right off kitchen) with all my time spent on computer and phone. I walk down the stairs at the start of the day... then the only "significant" movement I get is the 20 steps or so to the bathroom throughout the day. Talk about being sedentary!

    So this past week, I decided that my "coffee break" will be a pleasant 15 minute round trip stroll to the grocery store (I have 2 kids and a husband, ALWAYS out of something). Then I decided to take over the daily 20 minute dog walk, which I do after lunch.

    Hello all.. Sorry for posting so late, I was away. I have started my routine with light exercise, and a watchful diet. I would like to suggest to anyone who might be having some trouble getting started to join me in the diet and health plan that i have been doing, and have other friends doing as well...This will not fail you, and will not leave you with cravings, and best of all you can still eat regular food..

    My goal is to break 140 by end of February. I would prefer to lose more, but I've hit a plateau. Just started going to boot camp and eating my way to fit with a healthy foods cleanse. I'm a nursing mama, so can't take anything (and don't want to). I'm super proud of myself this week because my mini challenge to myself was to drink more H20. And I have done it.

    I can do this! I can do this! I can do this! And you can too!!! :)

    I wasn't really on track this week so I'm glad I still had a little bit of a loss. I weighed mid week and it looked like I was going to have quite a significant gain so I'm glad it was a slight loss. Back on track this week...

    How do you count your exercise? I can't seem to find dvd's in the data bank? Would appreciate advice. I do Walk Away the Pounds and Zumba for WII but don't know how many calories I burn.
