Good morning all!!!! I just want to say it's great all the support that is here at this site! It makes it very encouraging!!! I did give my self a treat of a rice Krispie treat (the lunch box size) it only has 2 points, but they are good! Hopefully I can walk today if it doesn't rain. I'd like to get a mile and a half in. Everybody keep up the good work.

Glad everybody is doing great and keeping motivated! I'm pretty happy too, I've lost 18 lbs in 7 weeks, and the great thing is that I don't feel hungry or deprived in any way. I'm making better food choices. I AM cooking up a storm now, but I don't mind it, I like it.

I think what has made a huge difference is this website. This is like a lifeline for me now! Thank you all!

I'm also working out regularly. I do 20 minutes on my elliptical machine 5 days a week. I know compared to other that's almost nothing, but to me is a BIG change, I'm not exactly an exercise lover, but I know it's essential for me to do it, not only for weight loss, but for overall good health.

So let's all keep moving, we're all in this together!!!

That's a great loss. I know what you mean, this time I have started cooking more. That was part of my problem, just getting fast food or bumming out on some high calories snacks. I've made some really great soup and chile. I love casseroles too. I made a pretty good tuna casserole, that I just tried. I'm doing Weight watchers and there are so many recipe ideas on this site.
I have just started back to walking. I walked twice last week and I want to get up to 3x's this week.
Good luck and keep up the good work!
