Thank you for welcoming me!

I undeerstand what you mean about a chicken lettuce wrap sounding good right about nowLOL. You make me laugh. I am gonna switch off apples grapes I already put onions. to make it more of a salad or just lay it on the leaves and have a salad like that hmmm ♥¸ . ♥¸ .♥¸

I am on my eigth day and am very excited how things are going. It was a tough wekend with all the football and work I did so much better than before, It's all about long term success and I took a step toward eating like normal person.That is what I am focusing on and not the little slip ups. Hopefully you had a great weekend.

WOW....you have a lot of awards!!  Yea!! For you!!!  

I'm still waiting for my book...bummer...I don't need any excuses to not get started...but this is a set back for sure :)

Good luck to us all on this exciting journey!!  You look to be well on your way...Congrats!

Thank you for being a friend.I hope your diet goes well and that you enjoy the Summer2011-you'll look "MARVELOUS"!--be good, Steph

Hi Samantha....may I suggest you get Wii Just Dance and try that.  I LOVE dancing and after 2 dance routines I was sweating like a pig before a bbq!  It's fun and the time flies by!  I do it with my kids and hubby!  I video taped them with my cell phone and have threatened to put it on Facebook!  lol  

Nursey..that is hilarious you had to check your man for evidence!  You crack me up! No, your not be obsessed with the diet.  I'm doing the same thing.  I think until we get used to it..it's all you think about.  I know the secret is to be prepared for the next meal.  I might cheat when I have to wait for my food to cook.  Here's a tip: I chew gum when I'm preparing my meal (I'm a grazer) and when I'm feeling like I want to cheat.  I get that new chocolate/mint gum.  It's like my little treat.  Hope you ladies have a great day.  Day 2..and I'm 5 lbs down! yay  

Thanks for the info on the dvds. I am good at getting started but I get burned out fast. I have a lot of dvds and a wii. lol. Can I get the dvds at wal-mart. I think I do need to change I am very sore. I am losing on the diet so I am still very happy and motivated. The people on here help also. My goal is the same as you 199. We can do this thanks again for the support. off to work out.

Hehe suntan about the bigmac comment I told hubby if I smell a hamburger on him when he returned home from store he had better have one for me too. How bad am I! I hope I am not being obsessed with this it's pretty much a main focus at the moment is this normal? I am waiting for my brain to tell me I feel full!
