I've been wrestling with weight issues for several years now. And before you say it, no, I don't consider my self fat, but my weight has consistently increased about 2 lbs/year now for about 9-10 years now. See? In high school, I got to 192 lbs. Miserable. Lost 40 lbs. in 10th grade. Then, post divorce in 1992 I was at lowest ever. The Divorce Diet works every time. But, unfortunately, that particular diet is not an option. My metabolism has changed and I hate it. I can honestly eat 1200 calories a day for days and exercise and lost zero, zip, nada. And my biggest weakness is evening "snacking" and adult beverages. We dropped the snacking and adult beverages this week. Completely. We'll just have to see what happens. If the scales even moves a few pounds it'll be a tremendous boost to my morale. Best of luck. I know you will do well. And as soon as the warms up a bit, you, Beth and I should get together at lunch a couple or 3 days during the week and go walking instead of eating!! Go, Bo, go!

I need to lose some weight and start some excercise. My start date is tomorrow. I will be cutting out all week-day alcohol (because yes, a glass of wine a night M-F adds up to an extra 700-900 calories a week) and paying attention. That's what gets me...if I'm actually looking at what I'm eating, I make MUCH better choices. There's a free online tool http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/ that is really easy to use... Good luck!
