I WI**** was 69 here outsideWisconsin it is a balmy 40 degrees out with the wind chill its 23 out wanna trade places lol I think posting at the end of the day is a great idea Kim

I would luv to have you as a motivation buddy! It is hard to get back on track again but I know I've got to or else I'll start gaining again. And that ain't happening!!!! How should we do this? Maybe at the end of the day post what we've eaten? Kind of an on-line accountability thing? Might inspire others to join us who are having a hard time, eh? I just went to the park and walked for 40 minutes. I want to eventually work up to running a little but that'll have to wait. I might have lost weight but I sure am still out of shape! Anyhow, let me know your ideas. Thanks! I'm so excited. Peggy B.

peggy if you want Ill keep track of my food with you. I really need to watch what I eat again I see myself slipping. Kim

I haven't tracked my food intake mentally or physically for awhile now. And...I haven't been losing either. So today I decided to change all of that. This is what I've eaten so far: 1 sl. r/f peanut butter on toast 140 cals. 7 protien 6.5 fats 3 sugars 1 oz hard cheese 110 cals. 7 protien 9.0 fats 0 sugars 1 frozen egg roll 110 cals. 10 protien 2.0 fats 4 sugars 1 pkg. pb crackers 200 cals. 4 protien 10.0 fats 4 sugars 1 skinny cow ice cream sand. 140 cals. 3 protien 1.5 fats 15 sugars Totals: 700 cals. 31 protien 29.0 fats 23 sugars It's only 2:30 p.m. and I still have the rest of the day to go. It doesn't seem like I have very many calories left to squeeze in the rest of my protien with!!!! Anyhow, today I really did try to make wise choices. What the heck have I been pumping into my body over the past month or two? No wonder I'm reverting back to my old ways. What this tells me is that I've been eating too much and not the right stuff. Now, a question for everyone. How many calories, grams of protien, fat and sugar do you allow yourself while you are still trying to lose? I can't seem to find my book right off and really want to lose these last 12.5 pounds before the holiday**** Oh and I walked for the first time in a long time, too! 40 minutes at the park with Tony Bennett. What a beautiful day to walk, cool enough to wear a sweater. Even had a little spring in my step. Have a great weekend! Peggy B.

Hey Dennis, I too am at a stall at 208 for 3 weeks now, before that it was 218 for 3 months. I seems that my body doesn't want to get below that 200 pound mark. I still exercise 90 minutes a day which I feel makes me have more energy and feel so much better. You look great and good luck with your journey.
