Got my Chantix prescription for the starter no smoking kit, going to get it filled, and pray I do not get the side effects, like flatulence, nausea etc. for your sake. :lol:

iwish.....there are some good ideas in there, I do not eat anything after dinner anymore ! and that is very hard for me. I'm hanging in there, still walking every night and do "the firm" tapes four times a week.....but progress is moving at a snails pace!!!!!! and it's so hard to pass up beer on the weekends :bang: I am a diet coke and rum girl now, and thats good, but...I REALLY miss by Bud Select:sosad: Weight watchers has become a habit now so I guess I'm in a good groove.


GET MOVING PEOPLE!!!!!! WALKING IN THE COLD IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!:D

I'll take your word for it, sgl!! :D :love:



One of my new tricks for keeping me exercising (aside from the trainer who is kicking my butt but it seems like it's paying off), is that when I think I can't do any more (e.g., walk fast on the treadmill, lift weights a little longer, etc.), I close my eyes and think of someone and "dedicate" my efforts to that person -- I think of the kids, and I've even thought about our SoWell friends who are trying to quit smoking (e.g., DD, Tootsie, Mango are some of the people I've thought about) because I figure it's hard to quit smoking so if they can try to do that, I can go a little longer with the exercise. Frankly, though, I think it's the trainer. If I keep working with the trainer for a year it's going to cost me about as much as a used car this year, but I figure I'm worth more than a used car! And we already have two used cars (1999 and 2001) so we don't need another one anyway.

Oh Paula!! Nothing like a little pressure!! jk. that's very sweet of you to think of us and our efforts. And, you are my

Hero of the Day!

Michigan but someday in SoWal as well
Mango: Heck, the flatulence won't bother us at all. We spend most of the time outdoors when in SoWal anyway, right? On the other hand, it's pretty cold up north...

And DD and Tootsie... awwwe, geeeeee. And maybe sometimes I'll picture myself running toward a margarita to keep me on the treadmill.

A great article I wanted to share. Make sure you look at his before, during, after photo's. I don't have near this much weight to loose, but he really inspired to me to finish what I started 2 years ago!!!!!

Okay, understand I haven't read the 49 pages of this thread. But I'm thinking that I'm in. I got on the treadmill tonight for the first time in 2 (maybe 3) years. My goal is to do that every evening I can. I also plan on working in some weight training. I expect to start really traveling soon so this may not be so easy so... :dunno: I'll stay at hotels with workout facilities?

Ultimate goal: first - being more fit, second - 20 pounds. :clap_1:
