Of course, the real challenge will be to not eat any of those yummy Easter Eggs that wil be around the place at the end of it all!! :(

I've been OK so far in that I just don't buy tempting things. My daughter is a tad rounded too so we both went on a health kick at the same time. I allow her sweets on Saturdays but not many and she eats them after lunch so they're not hanging around the house.

But if there's chocolate just sitting there in the fridge it's going to be very hard not to pick. Yet I can't deprive her of her Easter Eggs - she's only 4!

Time to test the old will-power!

Robsia- Thats a good idea only giving the sweets on Saturdays. I bought those 100 calorie packs of crackers and cookies. That will keep both me and my daughter out of a box of cookies or crackers.

I have trouble depriving myself of an easter egg . . . Cadbury's mini eggs call my name from the store shelves . . . I've decided I will allow myself to have one on Easter Sunday . . . and only after I've lost my Eight for Easter.

Would you believe I've never had a problem with chocolate!! Unreal! For me it's potato chips, and alot of them!I have managed to stay away from them for a few days now!Thank goodness!
Can't wait to get to know the girls I don't know here on this thread!!

Wendy:hug:

This is hilarious, Wendy. I honestly cannot remember the last time I even wanted a potato chip let alone ate one . . . years and years ago. I'll guard your chips if you'll guard my chocolate. :nono:

Meowee~ you got a deal!!:D LOL!!!From one Canadian to another!
Just something about those salty chips I adore......yum!

I've just figured out that once I hit my Easter goal of 179 my BMI drops to 29.8 and I won't be obese any more - I'll 'just' be overweight!!

Now THAT will definitely something to celebrate!! Not with a big chocolate egg though :(

I am in!! My goal is 5 lbs and gym 3 times a week at a minimum. I am putting on muscle though, like mad, so not sure if I can reach the scale goal.

Wow flamejobgrrl you are doing awesome on your loss! Got any pointers? Congrats.

:mad: my scale is playing tricks with me...first it says 2 pounds gone ...then it says no loss...then 2 pounds gone again ...darn scale which is it:?:

Hey all - saw a post about those 100 calorie snacks....for the chocolate lovers you can also get the Cadbury thin chocolates. The one with the toffee chips is divine!!!!!!

Tofat: tips - you gotta move and burn more calories than you take in. I cut the carbs out as much as possible as well.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Unfortunately, he's wearing a white coat here in Nova Scotia. We finally got some more snow. Only an inch or so and it's above freezing so if the sun will keep shining it will all be gone again soon.

Robsia . . . Fantastic . . . now that's a double goal . . . double the incentive.

Flame . . . Wow . . . you've been doing so well . . . look at that total lost so far.

Losing4 . . . scales have bad days, too. My old scales used to do that with regularity. The new ones seem pretty stable, so far.

Have a good day. Keep on working it. :carrot:

You are all doing a great job!!!

Friend just came back from the States - so many good low calorie choices at the grocery stores. I am jealous :(

Yay - was down 0.9 this morning after two 0.2s so I can officially drop a pound from my Easter goal.

How is everyone doing?
