    So I actually did my 30min workout today (I've got EA Sports Active for my Wii - it's like an interactive workout video) and burned 119 calories. I'm going to try to take my dog for a 2 mile walk this afternoon if it doesn't rain. I've gotta stick to it this time!

    considering there are 22 people this thread isn't getting much action. Are you all out exercising or eating a chocolate cake................hummmmmmmmmmm I wonder. I have been doing really good this week except I have 1 problem I am adicted to wintergreen lifesaves. There are something like 60 caloried for 4, I eat about 25 per day. I have to stop doing it but I believe t has something to do with the wintergreen as I have heard of other people not being able to stop eating it too.

    Dinner tonight...........stuffed peppers!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

    I'm dropping weight faster then I expected. I have cut my food intake. I haven't increased my exercise that much. I don't like exercising. I eat lots of raw or steamed vegetables all during the day. For breakfast I have a can of weight loss shake for the vitamins and 1/2 cup cooked steel cut oats. I eat the veggies throughout the day until dinner. I snack on fruit while I'm cooking the meal. DH eats what I eat which is usually a baked potato, yam, whole wheat pasta or brown rice, baked or broiled meat/fish, and more vegetables/salad. I eat yogurt, fresh berries, or raisins for an after dinner snack. DH likes popcorn or crackers and cheese. I started drinking Almond milk and I really like it. It's in most grocery stores milk aisle now.

    Yummo..............I make them that way with ground turkey. I don't like ground turkey but it has less calories then beef and if you stuff it it doesn't taste that bad. Not as good as beef but I will eat it.
    Now what should I make for dinner tonight I have to take something out of the freezer to thaw............. :lol: :lol:

    Weigh in tomorrow...........I think I feel thiner already :shock: :shock:

    Happy Birthday, Leota! I am doing much better this month. I went back to doing low carbs, hoping it will get me out of this plateau I've been on. So far, it's working. Onward and upward! Good luck everyone!

    Happy Birthday LEOTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    A little over a week ago I craved chocolate cake so I said the heck with the diet and made one. Little did I know I would eat the entire cake in 2 days. But I am back on track now.
