what is it about portion control that is so hard? We KNOW we should eat less, but once we see that food...
I seriously have to put a set (measured and/or weighed) amount on my plate and package up the rest. I can control going back for more, but if it on my plate or within reach, it often isn't pretty.

(I wanted a brownie today , then I remembered I had tomatoes and ate tomatoes instead. I'm not going to try to convince anyone, including myself, that tomatoes are a replacement for brownies, but I didn't go hunting down chocolate, so it was successful.  ) |
That is AWESOME. Both the weight loss and the brownie substitution. You are doing GREAT!

Great choice! I work with teachers every day. They are amazing folk that make a real difference in the world. I think you will like yoga, it really helps me with stress reduction and flexibility

Hang in there Paula, it will start moving again soon. I know when I was close to ONEDERLAND it seemed like the scale would not budge. But it finally did, and it will for you too

I'm really not. I am so used to this by now, that it doesn't phase me. I have planned my menus, done my shopping and plan to stay active and get some much deserved rest. I am really looking forward to the weeked
I recommend that you lay out what the weekend looks like and make some eating plans. Take food with you if you need to, and certainly enjoy yourself, but make a pact with yourself now - you WILL stay on plan AND have fun. The two are not mutually exclusive
You CAN do this and I'm looking forward to your post next week telling us how successful you were
Cold but sunny today, I did Zumba indoors instead of my usual walk. But I did take the
to work today. I am really enjoying riding it.
My weight was down today, but I'm not going to post it unless it stays down tomorrow as well. If it does, I will have finally lost all 5 lbs.
Ask my wife, son and daughter in law (all teachers) when
The scale will move...just stay with your plan.
I think I'm going to follow mrsaugie's led and run the 5K all three days. Hopefully, that will keep me on track! Wish I had more time for personals but I've got to run. Be back later.
So now I'm a whopping 1 pound down. But I know within a day or so I'll bounce back down.
