As of yesterday, I am really cracking down again! I had quit logging my meals and counting calories, just figured if I eat about what I was before I would be fine, right?!?!?! Apparently not! I am back to counting and logging. It also helped me realize that I was cheating more than I thought I had been. I have been having a really hard time drinking enough water, too. It's getting so cold that a cold glass of water does not sound good at all. What I really want is a cup of hot chocolate or coffee! But then there are way too many calories and not to mention the caffeine. I already found out this summer that caffeine really inhibits my weight loss. I started putting those falvor packets (like crystal like only generic) in my water and that helps. I get a bottle of plain water in the morning and tell myself I want it gone by lunch time. Then at lunch I get a flavored water. Maybe someday it won't be quite so diffifult. Once I hit my goal it will be much easier to maintain! WE CAN DO IT!!!

Bunny, I know that is most of my problem also. I need to start counting calories again, and eat decent. I mainly eat at night at work, and sometimes I take a bunch of snacks, eat them and then not hungery for my main meal. When I don't work, I will eat a couple of meals. I know I am only hurting myself.

I hope you can figure out what will help you. Those last several lbs are the worst.

But remember WE ARE WORTH IT !!!!!!

Good luck, Bunny

ugh!!!!! I was up on Friday. I can't figure it out right now. I thought about it today and realized that I haven't been as hungry and am having a hard time even eating my snacks in between my meals. Last week I noticed it, but thought "oh, that's gotta be a good thing, right?" Today I realized that it's a bad thing. I think it means that my metabolism is slowing down again. I need to get advice and do some searching to figure out how to speed it up again. I had it down at one point, then I forgot all about it and poof, now it's gone.

Well, hopefully this week I can figure it out and have a better weigh in next week. Good luck to you Char!

Well it's the same for me again. I'm at 136. Maybe the weather has something to do with it. It's been raining so much lately, I have been walking around the house, not like I was out side. I heard Jiullian from The Biggest Loser on the Today Show today say that you really need just 30 min of exersice, but not just one exercise. Pick 3 or 4 different exercises , do one for 5-7 min than do the next one without rest in between. I use to belong to Curves. They have about 10 exercise machines set up and you do each one 3x's (you make the curcuit 3x's). That did help me, but now I can't afford it.

You will do good this week Bunny.

Good luck to all.
