I make homemade trail mix, which includes dark chocolate chips and dark chocolate covered soy nuts.

Hey there ... If you don't mind me asking, how did you get those starting weight and goal weight virtual models to show up in your post? I think it is a great idea!

I find that when I have more than one other person with me working on a weight loss/fitness program, that I do much better because of the accountability factor. Right now there are 11 of us at work in a weight loss contest through Dec. 20. We are using a poster board to display results and because of this we are keeping…

Hi Silky!! When I eat too little, my body gets really ticked off and reacts silly. So, yes, maybe you are not eating enough. What is your calorie per day goal without the awarded extra calories for exercise? Newzgirl
