Doing totally awsome.  Spouse on the other hand is having a hard time with it.  Having those hunger cravings, and cannot seem to stay with the program.  Me on the other hand am finding it hard to finish a small meal.  But I am feeling so much better, and not so grumpy. 

Today actually starting to feel better, more energy, not picturing the next thing I am going to eat. :)  So weird that we allow ourselves to put all this crap into our bodies to continually feel gross ALL the time! I love that we are all doing this together, we are going to be some hot tamale's soon enough! ;)

Off to a Slow Start.....

But now I am hot on all your trials.  Good luck to you all.  There's a saying:  "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!"    Its my new moto for the next 8 plus weeks.

Doing great!!!

Today was great, went for a walk, drank lots of water, ran up and down the stairs a few times, had a small meal, and am totally full.  Hope it continues till tomorrow!!  Hope the rest of you are not sitting there eating  Twinkies, or I am going to WIN!!!

I want to know...

Are you all working out and dieting? Any special programs? Let me know your thoughts! :-)

This is IT!

Well its official, no getting out now. Looks like I'm going to actually have to be accountable for my eating! I'm already trying to get out of working out this morning. I am so excited to do this with all of you! I have alot to learn and alot to overcome so hopefully this will help lead me in the direction. Good luck to us all....now....PUT DOWN THE TWINKIE! ;)

SPOUSES!!

It is so hard to loose weight when your spouse is bringing in goodies, or they are eating something that is very appealing to you.  Chocolate is my weakness, and I try to hide it, but then the spouse or kids find it, then all falls out the window.  I have found that fruit, frozen or fresh, seems to do a much better job and I am not eating the whole thing.  1 cup seems to do the trick for me.  I have also found that drinking lots, and lots, and lots, and lots, and oh did I mention lots of water helps me stay full.  When meal time comes around, I find that I am not eating as much.  We are all on our way to looking great in that yellow pock-a-dot bikini!!
