I'm so glad you are feeling better about giving up refined sugar I am reading a book my doctor recommended called The New Sugar Busters Cut Sugar to Trim Fat. It tells what sugar does to your body and is linked to so many illnesses Now every time I'm tempted by candy or cake I think do I really want that. They have it in paperback.We got ours at Barnes and Noble book store.

I'm one of those people that need a visual motivation and i was having a difficult time trying to find something that would work for me and now I have found it and I thought I would share it with all of you. Its probabley silly to a lot of you but its working for me. Lost six pounds so far this month. I was putting a stick of butter on the butter dish when I noticed that the package weight was one pound and as I was holding that one pound in my hand I thought Wow thats heavy and would I want to carry that around with me all day. Well no I wouldn't so I put it right in the front of the frig and now every time I think I'll just cheat a little I pick up that one pound and then put it right back in the frig and concentrate on something else. seems silly right. It's working for me I just think how six of those look and feel, and I'm pleased that i don't have to carry six of those around with me anymore.

Well I weighed myself and I took the 2lbs. back off along with and extra lb. YEAH!!!
My sweet cravings have stopped, yeah!!! Hopefully I won't crave sweets when it gets close to that time of the month.
I didn't get a good workout tonight because little man decided that he needed my attention for the silliest things. I think I got in 20 min. on the stationary bike and 40 sit ups. Atleast I got something done. LOL

Well, I'm new to this weight loss thread (this Sept.) and didn't realize I should be checking more often. I've now spent a TON of time reading everyones comments. Very motivational! I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 6# so far. I did circuit training yesterday and it kicked my butt! Feeling a little sore today, but it feels good.
