Hi Carla!

Hang in there and give yourself a break! None of us got overweight in 8 days. Take one small step and make one small change each day. Before you know it you will be running.

Keep the faith!

I not only got rid of all of the books, videos and DVDS but I threw away my scale and took my car off of the road (until winter). I just discovered that my treadmill has a purpose other than gathering dust! My Jack Russell "Ernie" uses it to pee on when he's mad at me. Anybody interested in a slight...

Need Help With Monday!

So I have just started week three and I have two red check marks on my Habitcal. Both of them are Mondays! I can go all day long doing what I am supposed to be doing and then I blow it Monday night. Any ideas how to break this little mind game I am playing with myself? I do not want this to become a...

Great job but watch out for that scale! I threw mine away this weekend. I measure my success by the way my clothes are feeling and the amount of energy I have.

I'm going to purchase a divided plate for dinner. I think it will help me control the potato/french frie/rice portion. You would not believe how many fries you can pile onto eachother before they fall over. Mashed potatoes too :P

I have not felt hunger pains in years! Never gave myself the chance to get hungery.

Now...I wait until my body lets me know it is time to eat. After two weeks it has amazingly adjusted to breakfast, lunch and dinner.
