That's Great Nate. Cock-a-doodle-dooo.

What a load off. The first 100 is for your health, but the next 100 will be for your salvation! Rock-on!

Lori, great to see a fellow Nebraskan on the forums, although I'm a transplant from Chicago, I've been here about 15 years

The only trick I have is just making sure that I do every thing I can to keep my metabolism high. My exercise schedule is:

Sunday: 2 hour hike (right now 4.6 mi, will hopefully get longer in time and distance)
Monday: 45 minutes Walking for Weight Loss video
Tuesday: 45 minutes Walking for Weight Loss video
Wednesday: Rest day
Thursday: 45 minutes Walking for Weight Loss video
Friday: 30 minutes Walking for Weight Loss video
Saturday: Rest day


And then food is pretty basic:
Breakfast: multigrain something, bran cereal, waffle with applesauce, etc
Mid-Morning Snack: yogurt
Lunch: sandwich with multigrain bread, lean meat and cheese
Afternoon Snack: fruit
Dinner: healthy choice or lean cuisine frozen dinner (it's just me so I don't have to worry about cooking for a family)
After-Dinner snack: hard boiled egg, tuna, lean pocket, something simple

And that's it. The calories are low enough from the above that I have what I think of slip days built in. On wednesdays I go out with friends for dinner, so those days typically average 800 calories more than a normal day, and then on friday and saturday nights I'll have a few adult beverages so they are also higher in calories. As long as my daily average holds around 1600-1700 ish I'm happy.

And I track _everything_ if it goes in my mouth, it gets recorded in a spreadsheet, all of my exercise gets recorded. I calculate my metabolic rate every week to watch for changes there, like if it started dropping I might be going into starvation mode so I'd have to make some changes. This approach works for me, but my background is chemistry so tracking everything comes naturally to me and I don't see it as a hassle. Different people would need to find a different way.

I've been just about everywhere. I was born in Joliet, raised in Romeoville. Once my hubby and I got married, we had to re-locate for his job so we've lived in Bolingbrook, Arlington Heights, Bloomingdale, Channahon.
My grandparents lived in Justice which I believe is not too far from LaGrange.

Thank you all I'm a bit nervous about this week, I think I have a lot of water weight. Hopefully I can drink enough water today that my body decides it is adequately hydrated and gets rid of whatever excess water it is holding on to. This weekend with poker friday and the superbowl sunday involved a lot of salty foods, and less than ideal foods, that would definitely explain the water.

Shout it from the roof tops, you deserve it! I know I have been tooting my own horn this week because I finally left the 3's and I know what a great feeling it is to see that first number on the scale change.

Keep up the good work!
