Well we had a cold front come through yesterday afternoon and this has caused me to have a little more pain than I have been having prior with little help of the pain meds. I have been on the heating pad which has helped some.

Hello all, I am also trying to get used to the new board apprearance. It was much easier to find this part of our board.
My NSV for 11-2-11 was once again avoiding that chocolate cake at the office, I could smell it all the way down the hall and had to walk past it twice. I did not put it away, was feeling a little weak (tempted that is), so just walked past it to get in and out of building and left it for others to deal with.
Sorry I do not have time to comment to each of you. I am a praying person so as I read your posts I do pray for your needs.

Jeanne, this week is no chocolate - last week was no Halloween candy. How are you doing? Is your husband any bettter? I'll send you a PM.
Xylie, gaining weight is all our worst fear, but you've caught it and with your strength you will get it back off. Drop the sentence "I may not make it". Our bodies respond to what we tell them. If yours hears the 'may not' then you're setting yourself for failure. That being said, I do think 10 pounds is too high a goal for a month, but you go, girl. You're tougher than I am.
Patti, 10 1/2 pounds in 2 months is a perfect weight loss. If you've been stuck for three weeks, then you need to change something. I can't remember - are you drinking pop? Are you using artificial sweeteners? If your library has the Oct 31 issue of First magazine, it has an article about Dr Moreno's 17 day diet. After a detox period, you eat 1200 calories one day and more on the alternate days. I have been doing it and maintaining a 3 1/2 pound loss, which is a lot for me. I personally feel I'm going to have to make my 'food' days further apart to lose more weight. I'm ready to try a heavy food day every third day. 1200 calories is quite a bit of food if you chose wisely - this coming from someone addicted to chocolate. I didn't give up all my chocolate for this week - just restricted the amount and even that was tough yesterday.
Cindy, soft tissue pain hurts. Orthopedic pain is rough - I'm in a huge flare right now, but it's easier for me to override than any soft tissue pain. I wish a quick recovery for you.
I'm wishing all of us a healthy eating day with the right amount of good food, exercise and water. "Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels." Our mantra to get us through this season of eating.
I AM losing weight and getting healthier.

Can someone tell me who won last month? I see someone asked for Cindy's address; was she the winner? I thought I had read all the pages here and I even went back and looked at the end of October's thread but have yet to see a winner annouced. Maybe it was delayed because of all the craziness with the new format? Sorry, I have a headache and am crabby. Someone drank my last Dr Pepper, too. Grrrr
How did you surgery go, Penny?

Penny, are you home already? Those of us who do so will pray for a quick recovery for you.
Went for another massage ( a gift from a friend) and the way out I grabbed two bite size dark Milky Ways. When I started to open one in the car, I remembered no chocolate, so now I have more candy laying around. Even though I have not given up my dark choc, this has been a good taboo because it has made me aware how much other choc I was consuming.
Thank you, Beachbound, for being brave enough to post the taboos.
