Polly- There is a lot of excellent advice here. Try taking it bite by bite. Is there something you can cut out? Maybe cokes or sweets? My dad was told by the doc he was borderline diabetic he cut out his Dr. Pepper habit and poof lost 20 lbs. Some of us it isn't so easy but maybe you have a vice like that?
TXRed- Congrats!

Back to 221 this week. I'm OK with that. The week one starts a new job is perhaps not the best time to try to cut back drastically. Next week, I focus more. At least I didn't lose ground.

153
It actually was a little south of 153, but since I don't have a digital scale, It's hard to know the exact amount. I'm surprised I'm down this week, since I had a business trip the first part of the week--I usually gain a little weight when I travel.

132 for me today.
Roxy - Group hug! Congrats on your steady progress.
txred - Fantastic! Crossing those milestones is very meaningful and motivational, eh?
CA - Best of luck with your new job. How exciting!
Seems like everyone is doing well and staying positive this week. I love spring, because it's so energizing. Makes me want spend more time outside running and riding my bike.

Susan,
You are positively awesome. Your post to Polly was SPOT on and applies to each and every one of us. Thank you for your time and insight on this issue. I love this forum and though I do not post very often, I read it every single day.
As for me, I have had my 18 month old granddaughter here all week and I am up a pound, to 133!
Ah well, no outdoor riding in three weeks has taken its toll on me.
Now, on to the food diary.
Thanks again for all you do for us, Susan.
