How would it be to have my skinny clothes too big?  My skinny clothes are size 12/14.   I've noticed it has a lot to do with imagining yourself at being that size.  I guess I need to imagine my butt in a size 7/8!  That would be sweet!

Sugarbear - Heck yeah we have room for one more, going to Ichiban's downtown Salt Lake City.  :)

I know several people who have gone to the raw food diet and have been on it for years.  This one guy spends hours preparing his meals and is always trying new ways of preparing.  The time I have known them they never get sick, they are in great shape, and they look great.  What do people eat in the rest of the world, it isn't the bad **** we eat here.  So I say if you are in better health today and feel great and your doctors don't think you are going to die soon because you are eating raw foods then why stop.  It is a lifestyle you can live with until you die of old age.  I couldn't, I can't go without mashed potatoes and gravy and sweet suculant turkey on thanksgiving.  But if you can, more power to you!

My sister has been telling me to get the Wii Fit.  She loves hers and has been doing it for 8 weeks and loves it.  So that might be a great idea for mixing up the exercises.  She says there is every kind of excercise you can think of.  

Right now I am just doing cardio (running & bicycling) to get rid of the belly and thigh fat.  I think I'm going to do that for the next 6 weeks and then switch.  Maybe I'm wrong on that one, maybe I should mix it up all the time.  What do you guys think?

I seen on the fit channel that there is a shimmy class (belly dancing).  Those girls definately have a lot of stomach muscle! That would be a different thing to do too.

As far as the calories you burn vs. calories to eat, I'm clueless.  I just keep it above 1200 and below 1500.

Hi I'm 27 been divorced since April.  I've lost 20 pounds so far just being away from my ex husband.  I've had to learn how to eat healthy all over again and not over fill myself at every meal.   Oh yeah and I just quit smoking too.  So this is a great time to dive in and get it done before the 28th birthday.

9-19 Feeling great exercising now for 2 weeks straight, but so sore can't walk without legs hurting.  Lost 1/2 inch on my waist and 1/2 inch on my hips.

9-26 Feeling no so great, was sick this week but didn't lose my appetite.  How the heck does that work?  I was pretty bad with beer consumption this week, too.  Will not give up, try again today right.  It usually takes 6 weeks of exercise to see real results anyway.

10-13 I decided to go off of my diet.  I was doing much better by not dieting and just eating healthy.  So hopefully that will help me.

10-31 I am trying to stay away from candy....not doing so good so far.

11-22 I didn't so good from staying away from the candy.  I had to put my dog down because of cancer and I ate myself sick.  I am back on track but I'm not sure if I'll hit my goal weight by Christmas.  I am hoping that I lose another 10 pounds though.  I figured out how my body likes to lose, so I am still hopeful.
