I did pretty good for August with a 5 pound loss. Yea me!
I have a problem. I call it the "Witching hours" from 5 to 7 pm i am really hungry and will eat anything I can get my hands on and then regret it. If I can get though those 2 hours I'm good. Does this happen to anyone else?
I have to work really hard to stay out of the Kitchen at this time. I manage somedays but others ugh!

Were you a Girl Scout leader? I'm sure that's where I learned that little song.
I bought a South Beach Diet book for a quarter yesterday. I think Dr Agatston is on the right track for me. I truly enjoy high protein/low carb as long as I can have non starchy vegetables. Ice cream and peaches will be there when I'm slim - though fresh Red Havens won't. Whoops, no whining allowed.
Step away from unhealthy choices, Step toward a better life. I like your rewording, MJ.
Have a clean eating day. Judy

Good morning all. Started this month at 157#, had a small drop of just under a half pound this morning so feel like a good start. Hop to keep it up.
Lisa I have the same problem with evening snack attack cravings. I have started a GFG to keep my hands busy and it seems to help. I also put all those things that I seem to crave wrapped up very securely so I have to make an effort to get to them. I feel like a little kid with no control to have to play tricks on myself. But if it works them it's worth it.
MJ how are you? My mother in law had the same thing and she lived a long time with it so keep looking forward to each day, none of us know how many we have so we just do the best each day and welcome each sunrise with renewed hope. Keeping you in my prayers as always.
oldcottentop, we used to sing that song each morning in first grade just before or after the pledge. I don't think they do those things in school anymore.

When I started this yesterday my DH tolda me he would try to help any way he could. This is the way he helps..............Today he made bacon. I absolutely LOVE bacon. I could eat a whole pound at one time. Anyway, the whole house smelled like yummy bacon and THEN he calls me in to the kitchen and says........"you want a bite".....He is just down right MEAN!!!!!! He didn't see the problem.

If it is not to late i would like to join in on this also. I love the quilting board and how friendly everyone is.
I have so many reasons to lose the weight and am re-learning how to do it. I am 33 years old - who used to live a very-very active lifestyle (sports, firefighting, etc) An ankle injury (12 years ago) slowed me way down and 5 years ago I had my son and the hormones during pregnancy caused a huge flair up of an auto-immune arthritic condition that I was diagnosed with, finally, two years ago. All that packed on the pounds and now I have just over 100 pounds to lose.
Just today I joined Weight Watchers to try to learn how to do it. I also am in physical therapy - I finally had my ankle fixed this summer, and I take the water arthritis class at the YMCA. So hopefully with proper eating habits I can get back to a healthy weight.
Everyone on the board has been so supportive as I learn to quilt that I am hoping that support will also help with the weight loss.
