Also, just read this pertinent excerpt from a friend's Facebook post: Once I received a piece of advice on exercise from a health expert that seemed very wise and I never forgot. He said it takes 21 straight days of exercising 30 minutes or more to create an exercise addiction but only 3 straight d...

It is good to see the dedicated few who have been here since I started and good to see a few new ones and restarts. Reading the posts of others helps keep me on track. I stepped on the scale and it is still up a bit. Maintenance is definitely the goal this month. I agree - reading everyone's posts ...

Weighed in briefly on the Wii, after almost a whole week of green days and exercise i've lost half a pound :lol: Maybe instead of losing weight, you're just gaining muscle, what with all that exercise you've been so diligent about. :wink: I think it's awesome how you're sticking to your exercise! I...

Day 5 - FAIL Well, I did really good up until 3:45 and then crumbled. I expect my Friday's will probably be red for quite awhile, as that has always been a struggle for me. You know how it is......once the kids are home from school and everyone's psyched for the weekend, I just kinda follow that mo...

I think the biggest thing I've learned is how to get back on track after a bad day...........I might have more weight to lose to be truly healthy, but I'm gaining the lifetime habits I absolutely need. I'm determined not to quit... That is a HUGE accomplishment. Without that skill, frustration buil...

Sounds like you're right on track. Good for you, for nipping those negative thoughts in the bud! Sometimes I think that is half the battle. You are doing a wonderful job - keep it up! :D Hey, what do you think of Zumba? Everyone I hear just loves it. Once I can get my feet and hip a little healthier...

Thanks guys. :) Day 4 - SUCCESS Today was hard-won. :shock: I took another baby step today. I was craving chocolate ice cream SO much. Edy's chocolate with brownie bit ice cream is like my "coffee". There sure is something to be said for not having it in the house. Usually we always have SOME form o...

Day 3 - FAIL Must've cracked from yesterday. :lol: However, I only got a fail from a couple extra treats. I stayed on track the rest of the day, which in a way, is kinda a success for me really. Usually, I use one fail as a ticket to an all-day binge. I went shopping with my daughters this afternoo...

Day 2 - SUCCESS! Omigosh! I did it! I can't believe I got through today without reverting to non-stop munching! In fact, I don't think I've EVER done that before in this circumstance! It's really helped that I'm starting slowly.....the treat at lunch and dinner was just enough to take the edge off....

Well, it's only Day Two and I'm contemplating taking a RED already. My husband is going to be out of town for the day, and it's like a knee-jerk reaction - I immediately feel like eating all day while he's gone. Whenever he leaves, that's all I want to do. No one's watching....no one's judging....it...

- use the Wii at least twice a week (for WiiFit or Just Dance) What do you think of WiiFit? We have a Wii, so I had thought about getting that a while ago, but then I read a few reviews on-line..... some people didn't like it because they said you had to pause alot and it became annoying. Someone b...

Would have liked to have gone to Dairy Queen today for ice cream, but we didn't think they would be open. A couple of weeks ago I was walking in a mall near our house, and noticed that they had opened a Dairy Queen. It stopped me in my tracks and I thought I was going to cry from sheer happiness - ...

Day 1 - SUCCESS After not being able to bear ANY weight on my left foot yesterday, I was walking around with just a limp and no crutches by this afternoon - WEIRD. The doctor's office was closed today, so I didn't go. It's continuing to improve....wonder if I should even go anymore. Did very well w...
