First off, congratulations, you are doing a great job so far, keep it up. Secondly, as far as your "friends" comments, try to ignore them. But honestly if they are true friends they would be supportive. If I were in your shoes I would ask myself if I really wanted those type of people in my life at all.

They were scheduled to protest a few months back at a high school about 5 miles from my home. Luckily they never showed up.

I agree with you amycal. If you never allow yourself to have a "treat" then you won't stick to your healthy eating. Diets don't work because a diet by definition is depriving you of thing you like. Once you start depriving your self of certain foods you will fail-everything in moderation is my theory.

I alway marinade my chicken in olive oil, lemon juice and oregano. Seems to give it a good flavor without adding a ton of calories.

So what did you end up eating for lunch? And if you went with the southwestern, was it worth it?

What is the difference between weight lifting and circuit training? When I lift weights I use the circuit training setting.

If you go onto Stake n Shakes website it has a break down of calories for each sandwich. Pick what you are going to eat before you go and that should help

Turning 46 was hard for me because 50 seems so close and I used to think the 50 was old. However, when I started feeling down about it I would think of my children. I would think that if I didn't age neither could my children and then they could not grow up to be the wonderful people they are becoming. That may sound kind…

I can not speak for anyone else but I would have no problem with it. Actually I think its a great idea. Our country has a real problem with our youth being overweight so anything to encourage them to eat health and exercise would be beneficial. I hope you carry through with this and get parent and administrative support.
