profjan6 - I know what you mean. Maybe just try doing everything in moderation. Just a little of all the great stuff that is going to be around this week. Deprivation always does me in, but knowing I can have a little that takes the edge off. I am so a chocoholic, so I have a little bit. Measure out the serving size on the…

HI am so sorry to hear about your Grandfather. You and your family are in my prayers. Ann

That is AWESOME!!!!! Doing the Happy Dance for you. Ann

You are so right. Small goals seem to work better. At least in my mind. So I am going to do that and one day at a time works best too. If you keep your portion size in check you can eat about anything. Cheesecake is gone. And this is a new week. Yippee for new beginnings. Ann

Sorry, that was operator error. You can do it Deb look how far you have come. You are human and its only been 11 months. Things in the head don't happen over nite. I am where you are. Still wanting to lose that 20 lbs. I think I know better now not to go for the big number. Say 5 lbs. and then I will do that. As for Stress…

<SMACK> SNAP OUT OF IT!!

<SMACK> SNAP OUT OF IT!!

Love the picture of Slow and Steady. Thats great! Happy Friday!!!!! Ann

Yes, I know what you mean. WOOHOOO for getting back on the wagon. I think you will need to slow it down a little so I can jump on. the week is almost over. Work has been so stressful this week. I just want to eat all the chocolate I can get my hands on. But alas I did not do that. I did however, eat 4 mini Oreo's and that…

I think of all the cities New York has to be the best for Christmas Decorations. Would love to see the Tree. But that will be another year. So enjoy Thanksgiving and get back on the wagon Friday. Do an extra workout on Wednesday and Friday. Celebrate Life. Ann

HI Happy Feet. Sounds like your are going in the right direction. Keep a blog or journal of what you eat and how much you exercise. Commit to 5 days a week and then grow from there and then it becomes easier. I know for myself if I try to conquer the world in one bite. I normally fail. Yes, taking a walk will help with…

Congrats on the 30lbs. I have heard of the P90X and most people I know can't make it thru or past the first day. So you are doing great. The INSANTITY I have heard the name but no one I know has done this. By the name it sounds worse than P90X. We are all here for Support. On congrats on becoming a dad. Let us know how you…

Ok. I will like to be down 10 lbs. by Dec. 1 . I think that's doable. I did exercise 5 days last week. I am going to do 5 days this week and work up. Oh yes the halloween candy gone and so is the Ice cream. Straight and narrow now. Got all my water , so doing better. Have not weighed in yet. Will on Friday morning. Deb,…

AWESOIME!!!!. Friday's are always better. I normally weigh on Sat. morning. Not sure why just happened that way. :drinker:

I am so a fan of Harry Potter. can't wait to see the movie. GREAT going, I see you are down another 1/2 lb. You are doing so great and the Pedometer has helped, right? . Ok. Weekends seem tough since I do not have a schedule to stick too. And lately those M&M's have been calling my name all the time. I did have a few, not…

This journey is never easy and its a life style change. And LIFE happens and we have to roll with the punches. No need to be negative. We all need a pat on the back saying your doing a great job keep it up. Everyone have a great day! and keep up the good work. Ann:noway:

Hi All, I am hanging in their These weeks keep going by so fast. I am trying to walk everyday. Did pretty good last week. NOt everyday but mostly. Have cut down any inbetween eating and starting drinking more. Glade you had a great vacation DEB; And Congrats on the 101 lbs. That is AWESOME!!!! I agree weekends are hard…

I so know what you mean. 7 yrs ago we lost our Beagle of 11 yrs. He had a enlarged heart. I so grieved for him for a long time. He was my baby. and was really smart. He was a member of our family and his name was Hercules. I have a picture of him at my desk and can see him often. Remember the good times Take care! Ann

You are doing GREAT!!. Enjoy your vacation!!!! Ann:glasses:

dmoses, Not to late, never too late. We all have issues with holidays, It's a mind thing, as long as you don't deny and go back to just a taste. You will be fine. You might have to up your walking a bit to compensate. Take that walk after Thanksgviing dinner and Christmas no matter the weather. Not sure where you are, but…

Wow , I am impressed 3-4 miles a day. I can do that in 3 days. Which is better than being a couch potato. Took my bike out the other day and ride most days 1 mile. My legs feel like jelly when I get back. So just a bike no ten speed to go you need to pedal. The weather has been nice so being outside is great. I was just…

Make yourself walk as much as possible not just for exercise. go walk around the target store to shop. Not sure how you work is set up do you have to walk to the cafeteria or how far away is the restroom. In my office its down the hall to the restroom and the cafeteria is in the middle of the building down a flight of…

All Steps count. the pedometer counts every step you take. I wore it one whole day at work and then ran errands after work and I was up to 6,000 steps. put it on and forget about it. Oh does that sounds tough-LOL

The Pedometer can be addictive, you keep want to see the number go up and the calories too. Ann

Where in NJ do you live? I was born and raised in CT but now live in Texas. Which I love the weather here VERY MUCH> Miss the changing colors of the trees. The pedometer does help and can be addictive watching how many steps you take. Mine has calories burned too so thats another good thing. Have a good weekend in Boston.

Well for 18 holes par is 70 and I shot a 126. So that tells you that I am not very good. I shot a 71 on the first 9 holes. But we have fun going and I am getting better. Ann

Deb, what type of pedometer did you get? I played 18 holes of golf yesterday. Did alot of walking and riding and swinging. Ann

You are so right! I feel better and then I am done and moving on. Have a Great Day!!! Ann

I love to bake. At christmas I bake up a storm but you know I never try it. I always box it up and put in the freezer or in tins and hide in the cupboard or pantry. Then take them out at holiday time or to make the neighbors a tray. I do not find that hard. However, a bag of M&m's in the candy dish I have to have some. I…
