OK this thread has prompted me to up the ante. My goal for this week is to hit my 10 lb mark by Saturday. That's a little under 3 lbs. I want to see my butterfly move! To hit my goal I will bump up my exercise. I will walk twice to 3 times a day at work(10-20 minute walks), and I will hit water aerobics on Monday and Wednesday. For the food part, salt out for one week (pray for me Dan), and I will have only the fake meat since it's no fat. When I get a craving I'm going to get up and move around to get my mind off food. Any other suggestions to hit my goal?

I was kinda bad food wise this weekend but went for a 2 hour hike on sat and lost 2 lbs since friday..... and drink, drink, drink!

Coop- You are not alone. It sucks to be in the "slow loser brigade". All I can tell you is keep your eye on the prize. It sickens me too, that I paid someone to help me lose a little over 1lb a week. Not to mention, eat those nasty LA Lite bars. I am trying to see this as a learing experience...if nothing at all. I am learning that I need to eat most of my food from 6 AM-7 PM...not the other way around. (I have a newborn and a toddler who doesn't stay in her bed throughout the night, yet.) It's 9:30 right now and I could really sink my teeth into some ice cream...oh well, I'm off subject. Coop, keep your head up, work your plan and de-stress. Now, I will destres with some tea. Good Night!

What is fake meat?

vegetarian meat alternatives, you know....... fake.. not real

oh...lol...I shoulda figured that out!
maybe that will help me too!

Duh... It comes from fake cows.. C'mon, everyone knows that!! :lol:

whohooo I apparently burned off some calories with all my b****ing and moaning because I lost about 4 more pounds this last few days....bringing my grand total up to 10.2# lost in 4 weeks--yay! Right on track!!!
Thanks to all for the encouragement and support!!!!
