I guess you don't know that horse barn chores, and outdoor work are exercise. These are great exercises. I'm sure you burn off a lot of calories by doing these types of chores. Anything that gets you moving, is exercise. So enjoy.
Walking on the treadmill and walking the dog adds up to 60 minutes. You are doing great. Give yourself credit for all that you are doing.

Guys...look at the hidden sugars in the food you are eating. Even "diet" foods are high in sugar. Watch the sugars and fat will melt off..even without walking. Down 12. Trying to lose 30 by the time I turn 60 in Aug. First 5 came off quickly but now the battle begins. We can do it guys..just one pound or half a pound at a time.

Rose: as to your question about Alli: I know people who have used it (comes in Over-the-counter strength and Prescription str). If you follow the diet plan VERY strictly-no fat at all, you lose weight pretty fast. I don't know too many people that can eliminate fat entirely-it's in everything. If you don't eliminate fat, you better hope and pray that you're near a bathroom all the time!! It ain't pretty--as the ad says: side effects include watery oily discharge> In other words, not to be gross but it's like constant diarrhea leaking out. Sorry to those that are eating, but it's true.
Hope everyone is doing better than I am this month. Once this seasonal depression lifts (soon I hope) I'll be back on track and challenging you all for those FQs. Have a healthy day-Jan

Jan I am right there with you. March has not been fabulous for my weight however I am going to try and start bike riding with my daughter for at least a half hour a day..maybe this will help!
I also have been without internet for like 4 or 5 days so now I have to catch up on everything lol You miss that many days here on the board and it seems like years :-)
Keep up the great work everyone-with determination and drive and the support of each other we all WILL succeed!
Hugs

Come back and tell us how you did it, or tell us how you are doing. I was keeping my eye on several of you, and getting so much motivation and inspiration from you.
Please check in with us again.

Since we are going back to posting our weight loss I am disapointed this week. Last week I did REALLY well this week even though I did exactly the same thing as last week I only lost 1 lb. better then nothing. I don't understand it I ate exactly the same thing everyday. The only difference was the veggies. However they had the same amount of calories. I had greenbeans. broccoli or spinach. It got boring eating the same everday but since it worked for last week I didn't want to change anything. I will see what this coming week brings.

I get bored with my food quickly too peach; so I tried hummus recently. It is really good on crackers, low in calories and good for you.
