Hey, I just joined as well and I came on board with the same mantra. So far, it is really working. Getting healthier has never felt so great! There is no guilt or disappointment. Just motivation and excitement. :)

Have you tried the 97% fat free all beef hot dogs by Hebrew National? They are only 40 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving. They aren't as plump as a normal hot dog, but they aren't bad at all. I only like hot dogs if they are all beef, so I found that these were a good substitute when I started counting calories.

Thanks for all of the well wishes. I've been in Missouri for most of my life. And for those of you around Columbia, I'm working on a graduate degree from Mizzou. I haven't forgotten about exercise either. I seem to do better with that than my diet. Surprisingly, I kind of enjoy it.
