Well I'll try another one see how this goes,  I'm not very strong in following diets.  I do have a strong resolve however, but it is very difficult for me to stay on diet book tracks.  Some of the blogs do look interesting though.  What makes it frustrating for me is that I'm also a diabetic (no excuses) but it is such an insidious disease and complicates so much of my health, that i'm always being told that I need to loose weight, but not always given advise on how to by any of my med. staff, so I will pursue this venture with you all.  My hubby is at least supportive of me trying this out.  (good guy).  I though I had ordered the book the day it kicked off, the challenge, but somehow it did not go through.  Also I'm not very good about getting on the computer everyday to "check in".  I'm not best computer literate person on the block.  But will attempt to be.  Good luck to all of us.
