Keep up the good work. It has always helped me to exercise before I eat. I find that I am not as hungry. And yes treats every now and then do help. Especially today with the 100 cal. snacks etc. Plus they taste good. It is so important to count calories. Cutting calories and exercise really is the key. If you really want to have one of the 6 c's have it, but in a small portion. Good luck.
I have the Wii fit and am going on in a few mins. to get some exercise in. I was planning on going for a long walk today. However the weather in New York is pouring rain, so that's out. Also what I try to do is not eat after 6pm if possible. I find I sleep so much better not being full. Plus when I cook for my family if I eat what they are having I just take a smaller plate and eat smaller portions. Keep moving and have a good day

Well this time I am gonna WIN! Let's go ladies WE CAN DO IT! After all we are DIS'ers We can do it all! 56 years old. Decided Januay 1 that i was going to get my weight under control (weighed about 205 pounds) See, our family (adult DD and DH) went to DW June 2007 and we were all miserable due to weight problems. They mainly laid by the pool while I huffed and puffed by myself popping pain pills in the parks! BYW, we stayed at BWI so our stay was not cheap so i shelled out good $ to lay by a pool when they could have been laying by a pool at Holiday Inn

): back problems. I had surgery march 2008. Some relief but not 100%. Then developed nerve problems in left leg. Had nerve blocks for that pain. Now, that pain is better but back is worse - much worse. Also tried water aerobics (Dr said it would be good for my back) wrongo! Instructor put us in the deep end and it killed my back. Shallow end I did okay and really felt good the days we stuck to those but some instructors only do deep end!

So, I hate the way I look, hate the way I feel, hate myself for getting in this shape and hurt so bad it takes all my energy to focus on getting out of bed!
Thanks for reading. Sorry to be so down
Oh, and as you can see, we have an upcoming trip!
so I got fired! Short story from a long one I gained lots of weight after losing my job and being pregnant but got a yrs worth of salary from lawsuit 
Guess they should watch who they hire as a manager next time.
Hey ckdsnynt good for you losing 15 pounds. You should be very proud. Just think that's 15 pounds you have taken off and not put on. It does take a lot longer as we age and we all know men lose twice as fast as we do. So keep up the good work and try to exercise as much as you can. Even if it means turning on the radio and dancing around. The first time I lost nearly 100 pounds I use to do laps around my yard. My mother in law is on WW for about 2 1/2 years now. She's 72 and has lost about 33 pounds. She feels stuck at this point, but I say at least she hasn't gained any weight. Always think of it as I have to lose just 1 pound. It really isn't a matter of a diet. We must change the way we live. That's why I think WW is great. You can eat regular food while counting points. Keep up the good work.Lisa: I did the Wii Fit this morning. Did about 30 mins. Tried the step thing, but am no good at it...lol. I like to do the balance things and the running. How about the soccer? Every now and then I get hit in the head with a sneaker...lmao. I did really good today with my calories and am hoping once my boys go to bed I can get some exercise bike time in.
I always get hit by either a shoe or a dang "panda" head by the way whats a panda gotta do with soccer.
No I really like it cause it helps to relax till the dang candle blows out cause your silly 
doberman decides to move.
Okay So I'm gonna come clean we had some of those little ice cream cups and well I ate 1 mad at myself because I knew I wasn't hungry but boy was it good. 
Man I wish dieting was easier... Maybe if I stop thinking it as a Diet and instead thought of it as just eating good stuff!
here i go jump 2 3 jump 2 3 Sorry for the pun!
someone who's in the same boats and I can check in with once a day. To discuss what I ate, what she ate, what exercise we did or should have done. I don't want a drill sergeant just someone who will listen and have something for me to listen to too. I hate having a trainer they don't understand the struggle so I want some one who's needs me just as much as I need them. 
Because helping someone can always helps yourself.
So all in all I did okay Well ladies here's another Inspirational Weight Loss quote:

Hi ladies,
It's nice to know that I am not alone. I would love to drop 50 lbs before our upcoming trip. For me the hardest thing is my sweet tooth and I miss certian foods when I am trying to diet. It seems like I lose and gain the same 25-30 lbs every year, then I stop losing and fall off the wagon so to speak. Good luck to all of you.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOO THANKS FOR COMING BY.
I LOVE POPCORN so I got some of those 100 Calorie Smart Pop Popcorn and its YUMMY
