Wouldn't it be fun to enter from all of us, a total " weight lost" tally at the end of the month? I'm sure we could donate the fat somewhere!!

I think that is an excellent idea Lneal! Do you wonder where the weight 'goes' when it is lost? Maybe I shouldn't ask.

I also found the perfect 'mother of the bride' dress on Kijiji yesterday. It is 2 sizes down; I am thinking positive (and realistically I hope!)

I haven't had heartburn in weeks and used to have to take tums or alka seltzer almost every night. My weigh-in day is Thursdays. I'm part of a 60-day challenge to follow the Hallalujah Diet (www.hacres.com). They have daily support emails/videos. So .. can I play, too?? :)

Congrats on winning your battle with cancer and the weight loss too!! And OF COURSE you can play too! ;)

I'm afraid I could never do the Vegan lifestyle...I like my meat and dairy too much! I do admire you for sticking to it!!

Here's a yummy treat for you to try. Take a fat free graham cracker and break it where it is perforated so you have two halves (honey grahams are good, chocolate grahams are better), spread 2 tablespoons of fat free sugar free Cool Whip on one half. Top with the other cracker half. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until firm. Just like an ice cream sandwich. Yummy and very low calories.

Okay, lost 2 lbs since last Monday. I know that's pretty good but I wanted to lose 20!! LOL. I did eat better and walked more and I'll keep doing this. I still have to work on "grazing"--I don't like big meals but I planned out my 100 calorie feedings and stuck with that. Maybe that will help me stay around 1200-1400 calories/day. I think that's a good number-am I right?
Congrats to all who have made changes no matter how small--they'll pay off in the long run.
Let me know how the Chantix works for you. I have a lot of patients who've used it successfully. That's next on my "hit parade" of bad habits to break but I think I'll just work on weight loss for now.
Thanks everyone--you guys are the greatest!!
Peace-Jan

Great job Jan!!

Do me a favor...go to www.caloriecount.about.com, register, and just do the part (if you don't want to do the rest of it) that tells you how many calories you should be consuming per day based on your age, height, weight and activity levels.... 1200 calories is the bare minimum any woman should have!
