I've been watching this forum since it started but was hesitant about signing up because I don't post often. I'm just not a chatty person. But, I need to lose the remaining 25 lbs and I need some serious encouragement along the way.
I'm having a hard time with this diet thing and food restrictions. I used to be one of those everyone hated because I was always so skinny and I could eat anything I wanted. Well, between menopause and a job change where I didn't move around any more, the weight just piled on.
From January to July I had lost 30 lbs and dropped my cholesterol from 284 to 234 which made my doctor very happy. He didn't have to put me on cholesterol medicine yet.
My problem is I started feeling deprived. I was also sick with one thing or another these last few months and my Classic Coke consumption went back up because I couldn't deal with it and being sick at the same time. I have to get that back under control too. Actually, that's most of my problem.
Thankfully I do zumba 3 nights a week and I'm sure that has kept me from putting back on those 30 lbs.
Tomorrow I'm back on track.

I have two rooms full of fabric as it is, but it isn't all for quilting.
Note to self: No fabric purchases until 5 pounds are gone.
Do most of you weigh in once a week?
I do my "official" weigh in Monday morning. Not ideal since the week ends are bad but it all evens out. I do however step on the scale almost everyday just to give me incentive.
My walking partners (2 dogs) are waiting me. Have a good evening.

For myself I know if I decide to eliminate something from my diet completely I begin to crave it all the time. But if I just try to cut back I do much better.
Isn't it funny how we never crave brocolli?? ;)
