I have one very crazy idea for you that just might work & maybe also be fun. Begin to prepare yourself for the Houston Aramco 1/2 Marathon starting now. It is fun, and for charity and you wouldn't have to worry about carbs etc so much. You don't have to be an athlete to finish the 1/2 marathon. Just jog or speed-walk or even run just a little each day....then by next Jan you can do the 13.11 miles no problem. If you can do it in less than 4 hours you can get a t-shirt and a medal. If you train enough each day you can forget the diet almost completely and enjoy eating & going out to restaurants etc. Just a crazy idea for you. :) You have all the right ideas, you just seem to be missing motivation….a goal….a deadline of sorts to be in the shape/size you feel is right for you.

So, I'm trying to stay over hydrated to fight off those monthly chocolate needs. :D One thing my mom suggested and I’ve noticed to be true, when I haven’t had enough water I get more cravings.

I know you can do it! I am back on track this week after two weeks of straying - I am giving myself until May on the new Momentum Plan with WW to see some real results.

I'm on my own weight-loss crusade and <a href="http://www.imaginaryplanet.net/weblogs/idiotprogrammer/?p=83399848" rel="nofollow">weigh myself every day </a>. Oddly, setting this page to my home page does wonders for my spirit. My goal is to lose 20 pounds in the next 6 months and to keep it. For me, I don't know how you could do it without exercise.

Everyone hit's this point - the fact that you're recognizing it is an accomplishment. Just remember you've done it before and you can do it again now! You've already made it such a long way - don't feel defeated if you hit a mild bump in the road from time to time - just keep it up! You're doing a great job! Good Luck!

If it were only that simple. I am hardly ever home & when I am home I don't want to be on that stupid treadmill so I always find an excuse. Like I said, I know exercise will do it and the treadmill is the answer. Just gotta get over the "always have an excuse" hurdle... And yes, 20 lbs is a great start and I am essentially maintaining right now so that isn't bad... Thank you! I know Kathy – I know eactly what to do. If it were only that simple.
