Joanne - No idea about the best whole wheat crust, but if you find out let us know. I think that this pizza thing could work pretty well. Like you said Loretta Jo it's kind-of like a wrap or sandwich - you can do whatever you want with it. I am going to try more with this - try some crusts and different kinds of cheese.…

Runner 218 - Congratulations on being a survivor! We're here for you. Take care of yourself, Juile

Loretta Jo: "Do I love you enough to wear you" - that is going to stick with me forever. What a profound question to ask whether it's the next drink or the next candy bar. Thank you so much for contributing that!

Hello Sharon! Thanks for joining us - I look forward to sharing the journey with you.

Today (11/4) I am at 147. Thankfully after the injury sidetrack I didn't put on any weight and now I am starting to lose again. Yeah! 12 more to go.

Kjreef2007: Well, your doing good by confessing your 'diet/fitness sins'! At least you did run 3 miles yesterday. Sometimes it does just happen, but the lesson is learned, right? Your doing fine - just don't get too sidetracked. I have found that since i started this program I have nearly no tolerance to alcohol. I don't…

If any of you have a Green Mill around and want a great pizza that is low calorie (290 for 1/2 the pizza) try there Low Cal Chicken Pizza. That's what I had last night for dinner and it was awesome. Thin wheat crust with a light tomato sauce, chicken, basil, feta and parmesean cheese. It was really tasty and half the pizza…

Thank you so much for posting all the recipies. I will definitely check some of them out. I love trying some new things that still work in my diet.

Finally - I was able to get out and do something after my recent injuries. Walked a little over three miles with my dog. Yeah - I got out! My glute didn't hurt too bad and I stretched good. Today I'm going to stick with the same - I don't want to push it.

Lots of good tips so far. Don't forget about those awesome new tuna packs that are ready to eat. I don't even do anything with them, just put my spoon in. The protein is great. Apples w/peanut butter is great too. I also bring cheese sticks with me sometimes. That with an apple and a couple of triscuits and I am good to…

Way to go! Have you taken measurements so that you can keep track of your inches lost too? Every step, baby or big, is a good step. Keep up the great work!

AWESOME!!!! You're doing great. Thanks for getting me energized today!

And you look Marvelous!!!! Way to go Charley. Keep us up-to-date with how you are doing....

Andrea: Wow -- I do not know what you are feeling, I just know that it is profoundly painful to lose a child. I also understand the need to medicate/subsitute/occupy yourself or in some other way take care of the pain - or at least try to change the focus to something else. For me, long walks in nature are really…

lleanak: This is hilarious! Thanks for the laugther so early this morning!:laugh:

Yeah!!!! Happy dance coming your way.....:bigsmile:

:huh: wholly crap!!! Step away from the candy. (Imagine me with a big loud speaker going to Rochester NY area) Why the heck didn't you yell to us to give you a kick in the *kitten* before you did that! :grumble: Coming down from that sugar feels nasty. So, let's go drink lots of water to flush this junk out and move on.…

Hi Kaitlyn -- Welcome to the 'club'!

Mechanicmom - We must have been on the same page lately. I had that stinking donut and I really did feel quite ill afterward. I keep thinking back to my college psych classes and Pavlov's experiments. If we have an immediate consequence to doing something wrong several times, we learn our lesson. I'm waiting for that…

Welcome Frank! I'm sure this will help you to meeting the last few pounds of your goal. Keep us posted on your success.

Awesome! Those last few pounds are buggers, but you hung in there and we were with you every step of the way. We'll stay here for you too. Yes, I want to see the pic of you in the dress!

Disclaimer comes first - I am not a doctor and I don't even play one on tv.:happy: As far as I know it does count either way you do it. I think there are benefits to your heart for having an elevated heart rate maintained for a longer period of time and building stamina is great. But if you are just trying to get exercise…

Ditto back to you Naj! I have faith in you. Yep, let's put it behind us and move on. Good for you that you got right back in the saddle this morning. Yipppee!

Hey Jenn! I guess Halloween maybe should become the boot camp for the holidays huh? This year in my office I mixed some healthy nuts into some of the candy corn and M&M's. I kept the mix in one clear plastic cup so that I knew that was all I could eat over the whole 'event'. It looked thematic for the holiday and I kept it…

Great visual with the gremlins, especially on Halloween :happy: Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your words of encouragement. Today is a new day and it is beautiful outside. So for my lunch break I am going for a nice, carefully paced walk outside - after I stretch a bit. I am so lucky because my office overlooks…

Joanne - Wow, you have a lot to be proud of! Good for you. Thanks Laura for the vote of support. Sounds like you had a heck of a time last week too! Glad Halloween didn't get to you. yep - tomorrow's a new day. Bring it on!

No Cheryl - I beg of you.... Please, please, please help my team win. That $1,800 will go a long way on the trip I am planning to take with my mom to Mexico fto celebrate her 75th Birthday!!!! We took her there for her 70th and she went parasailing! Like I said, I had no clue who these guys were when I picked them, but…

Thank you!!!! I need the nudge (or kick in the *kitten*). We don't have a Dunkin Donuts out here, dang it and thank goodness at the same time:laugh:! You being at 126 is a great inspiration for me!

Joanne - Awesome pumpkin! That's fabulous. My scariest moment today: my brother (bless his heart), brought a chicken enchilada lasagna type deal over for dinner. Dang, it was good. I didn't each too much of it.

Okay - this is not a typical post from me. I know I can get myself on track, but I have to vent a bit to be real about what just happened, clear out this bad energy and move on. So here goes..... I have had a really bad two week stretch. I pulled a glute muscle, can't run and even walking is a bit tough. But I have been…
