Steph, You have heard of Dr. Phil though, right?
Ok, this will be a book.
He has a book out called The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution.
It gives you The 7 keys to Permanent Weight Loss
I personally bought the book, read it and also bought his book on CD.
I listen to it when I walk on the treadmill (which I have not done in about a month)
Last year on his show he introduced this book and had a weight loss challenge , I think for about maybe 16 people, that number might be wrong.
Everyone got this book and followed his keys and loss weight. It is all about eating right and exercising. He would have these people on his show every couple of weeks and see their progress. It was awesome.
This one guy lost something like 120 lbs. There was men and women.
He also has a cookbook and some other type of book to go with them
Can you not tell I love Dr. Phil.
My girlfriend got me his Ultimate Weight Loss T-shirt and coffee mug.
Go on to his web site Dr.phil.com
the guy makes alot of sense in his book, my husband even enjoys watching his show.
Here are his 7 keys: Key 1:Right Thinking (Unlock the Door to self-control)
Key 2: Healing Feelings ( Unlock the Door to Emotional Control)
Key 3: A No-Fail Environment (Unlock the door to external control)
Key 4: Mastery over food and Impulse eating (unlcok the door to habit control)
Key 5: High-Response Cost, High-Yield Nutrition (Unlock the Door to Food Control)
Key 6: Intentional Exercise (Unlock the Door to body control)
Key 7: Your Circle of Support (Unlock the door to social control)
I tell ya Steph, that book is what helped me in the fall when I was losing, then I lost control after my cruise.
I have now gained about 8 lbs. back in just 5 weeks.
I am back to doing the treadmill and listening to his CD's this week.
Just give it a try. I think tomorrow is his new challenge on TV, then you will understand what the heck I am talking about.
Go and buy the book or Cd and try it.
I sound like a walking saleswoman for Dr. Phil.
Talk to you later,
Amy
Not much point in it it's just frustrating to see water gain.
oh well, who needs sleep right? I'm so happy its friday, but i have so much to do, it'll be like work!! Oh well... at least i can sleep in a little bit 
YAY!! All of our families and friends are as excited as we are. It was great, Still is! 
I need to realize that lunch the next day is better than going back for seconds that night. 
I did it again last night. I don't feel full so i don't stop. I'm driving myself crazy! I've tried eating slow, fast, courses, you name it. Doesn't help. Grrr.. I have a goal of 5-10 pounds off my weight now by Valentines. That should be plenty of time. My fiance and i had a looong talk last night about diet and exercise and he's agreed to the tough love bit of helping me not eat and reminding me to exercise. Hopefully that will get my butt in gear again. We were doing so good for a while. Tonight i'm going to buy my wedding dress. I tried it on last summer when my girlfriend was shoppingand i really hope it still fits... they don't make it in a bigger size!! and its being discontinued so hopefully 
i'll have to have it taken in by the time we get marrried. ****, right now i just want to be able to zip it up. 
I think i need to make a plan of what i'm going to do that evening so i can get ready for it. Maybe that way i'll actually do it consistently. Tonight i'm doing 30 crunches, 30 squats/lunges, and 30 puch ups. Then at least 20 minutes on my walker. 
I still have to special order it because i'm so tall i need the extra long version.. but it fits!! I think if i lose about 10 pounds or more it'll be too big. I don't care.. hopefully i'll have to take it in a lot!
