excersize is what gives me that boost of weight loss. Even though diet is everything. I remind myself to get on that treadmill every single day even if its just 2 miles. Small things matter
Diet is for sure everything.. but I like how you view exercise!! I'm contemplating getting a gym membership! I don't have a treadmill and I find that even when I intend on exercising at home.. I find other things to do... dishes, homework, housework, playing with kids!!! When I have a place to go and do it with a specific purpose.. I'm much better! Okay.. today my goal is to take a tour of the two gyms that are local to me! =)

same here. I do have a treadmill and i tell myself if i go take a shower for the day then might as well go sweaty into the shower from cardio on treadmill
That "7" in the middle is a good target!!! I feel horrible that 10 months ago I was at 171... and then my step dad died... so I was practically living with my mom and spending every evening with her so she wasn't alone!!! AGAIN.. the second time she's been widowed.. It brought up a LOT of memories of when my dad died.. and I gained 13 lbs. I HATE that I allowed emotions to justify dropping my guard, losing my focus. Every time I step on the scale I compare my number to that 171 that I was so proud of... and every time I feel like a failure. It's hard to find motivation when even with a pound, or 2 pound success.. I still view it at a fail. I got to figure out a way to see my successes as successes.. I also need to find a way to stop panicking about 13 lbs... panic doesn't promote weight loss, it just makes me frantic in the mean time. Anyways.. I feel better just saying that.. Makes me feel ownership of it somehow!! lol
Oh wow. And I feel proud of myself when I do 3.5 miles. You're inspiring but I fully support your decision to take time relax under a fan. I've also added my info to the spreadsheet. I think it's a fun way to keep track of peoples numbers!

3.5 miles is awesome as well!! You should be very proud!!
Argh, I'm at the same as I was last week- 165. At least it's not up I suppose haha.
I love exercising. I just can't find the time for it right now. Or maybe it's more the mental energy. My days are just soooo busy before even trying to add in some exercise. Or maybe I'm just making excuses.
Even though the scale isn't showing progress my clothes are fitting a bit better. I think I'm finally getting my ab muscles back into some kind of shape now that the baby is almost 1.
Unwanted37lbs & garnetrising - I am inspired by the miles you have done. I have been just relying on diet to lose, but am going to try to get some more exercise of some kind in every day to start toning up.

but at least the number has been moving!
