Well another 5 pounds bit the dust this week, for a grand total of 40 lbs since mid-May. I am so thankful I "took the plunge" and bought that darn scale in May. Seeing 376 in the big digital display was my wake up call. It made me really open my eyes and see what I had let happen to ME!!!! So today I am thankful for the stubbornness I inherited from my mom to not give up on ME, the scale that will always tell me how I'm doing on my weightloss journey, and for this forum that gives me some great people to talk with. So what you you thankful/grateful for today?

Thanks, Melinda! I am grateful that I seemd to be in the right spot at the right time for the most part today. I saved myself and others work by doing so. I am also grateful that I am too busy to be obsessed about food in the least. It really is about nutrition for me. grateful for such a loving honey at home who shops & cooks for us.

Hey Diva, Congrats on your loss. 12 pounds is a GREAT loss as well. Basically I'm counting calories. I try to stay between 1,300 - 1,500 daily (mostly in the 1,300 range). I also try to exercise three times per week, mainly using Leslie Sansone's Walking Away the Pounds DVD. I had to stop exercising for 6 weeks due to leg problems, but just got back into the swing of things last week. Melinda
