D is for delay in eating and drinking. We should always remember to not eat and drink at the same time. Give the food an hour to Digest! There's three D's for ya! So what is your D? Debbie

D is for I'll never diet again. I know what to do. Protein, protein, protein. Drink plenty of water, exercise and take my vitamins. This is my new diet. Journal and stay active in support groups. Doing all these things will help me stay healthy. ((HUGS)) Elissa

I think I have a few D's. The first one that comes to my mind is Dancing. I have always loved to dance, but the heavier I got the harder that became. Now I am out just about every Fri and Sat night Dancing until I can't dance anymore. I love it and have fun doing it, plus I am out meeting all kinds of new people. The next D would be Drink, I have never been much of a water drinker, so it is extremely important for me to force the water into my body. It is getting easier, but somedays I am lucky if I get in 10oz. The next one is DYNOMITE, because that is how I am feeling these days. The last one would be Diet for me also. It is no longer a Diet but a lifestyle. I will never Diet again, I know what I need to do and will continue to do it. Come on everyone, what is your "D" Deanna

Determined. I am determined to make this tool work to my best advantage. I have days that I feel discouraged when the scales are idle, but it passes. I simply increase the water and protein and the scale moves again. Another D word is Delighted. I was delighted to have the chance and the stamina to play in the sand on the beach with my granddaughter yesterday. Last year, all I could do was sit at the picnic table and watch her play. I played with her this time. It was wonderful. KathyG

D is for DON'T give up. Even when we have bad days we know we can get back on track. Even the other day when I ate three Oreos for breakfast because I was stressed and they were there...I knew I would not make that my daily habit like it the past. (Besides, before I would not have stopped at three

). DETERMINATION is another word that I think of when I am having a bad time. I am determined not to let myself fall back into those bad habits again. DIET would have been my first thought in the past, but I removed that from my vocabulary. Have a DELIGHTFUL DAY and keep remembering how far we have come and the DOORS that have opened up for us (and we can fit through them now

). Ellen

I have to agree with the no "diet" anymore....I will never diet anymore, eat protein first, veggies and drink, drink, drink my water. I also have been doing some dancing, recently finished up our beginner Salsa dance lessons. What fun this has been. I am also determined to succeed in my journey and get to goal weight. Michelle
