Well, I got on the scale and it said 146.8 !!!  I have been 147.8-149.8 on and off for the past month.  I hope this means that I am going to start losing again :-)  I have been trying to exercise more.  I usually make it to the gym 3 to 4 days a week.  I ride the stationary bike for 30 minutes, the elliptical for 30 min. and the the bike again for 30 minutes.  I bring a magazine that I have not had time to read.  I try to walk/jog once or twice a week for an hour.  It is getting harder to get out there.  It is getting colder and it is getting dark at 7pm already.  I still have not found time to add strength training but I do use small weight, push ups and sit up once a week while I am watching TV.  I guess I should start doing that more than once a week :-)

I love the recipe analysis tool.  I have been putting my recipes in so that I am getting an accuate calorie count.

A teacher and I have been trading clothes which is making life so much easier.  All my pants that are a size 16 or larger are gone!  I am still wearing size 10, 12, and 14.  I is so weird that I can wear all three.  Right now most 10s are tight, all 12 fit, and most 14 are alittle big.

I am alittle nervous about entering the holiday season.  I do not want to gain any of the weight back.  I think I am going to have the kids hide their halloween candy.  Out of sight out of mind, right? All of the eating around Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, ugghh!  We need to plan our menus now, find low cal, healthy alternative to stuffing, yams, pie, rolls, etc.  Ok, that it going to be my next plan. Work on my Thanksgiving menu.  If I come up with a menu, I'll add it to the forums.
