Well as of Friday I am 16lbs down...thats 2lbs a week..I put my 3rd charm back on my braclet YAY. I have been using tools from http://www.freedieting.com/ as well as here. they have some interesting ideas. I have bought a new diet log book this one has more pages per day to write exercie logs and comments to. LOVE it. Am going to switch to a "Zig Zag" intake...meant to help prevent/break platues...

(Ex. I am at 1500cals a day 1500cals x 7 days  = 10500cals....The ZZ method....Mon 1300 + Tue 1400 + Wed 1700 + Thur 1400 + Fri 1300+ Sat 1800+ Sun 1600 Also = 10500 a week.)

 Has anyone else tried this..?

SUZZI stay in touch g/f. Hugs to all...

Well ...I gained 40lns back..(Thats ALL of it for those who were wondering)..I passed my driving test in October after only 6 lessons..and I LOVE my car..(I have a 2002 suzuki X-L7..I zoom about all day..) I have got a job..I start Tuesady as a substiute Teachers aid..(Not bad as I have no education Docs. or references..The principable (sic) pulled alot of strings)..ANYWAY..As some of you know...after losing the big 4 0 I had some kind of break down thingy...I am on a ton of meds that seem to really stablize me..BUT I went for a check up with the mental Dr today ....my heart rate is now so fast and BP is so high I have to have an ECG on Monday...UGH. So I have joined the gym and bought a truck load of fruit and salad and water and as the song goes...."Here I go again"...

Well heck here I am nearly 40 years old and 40lbs over weight..Am I the only one who didn't see it coming? Last week we tried walking. Katie and I did 3 miles a day! She lost 10lbs.10oz Jodie lost 2lbs 10oz and Staci's half heart atempt lost her a pound. Being the smallest in the group I managed to lose 2lbs 2oz, Great start, then, the baby gets sick I've missed 2 days walking now. I should buy a(nother) treadmill. (Swapped the last one for a couch/loveseat) Figured I'd get more use outta them and sad to say I did. But THIS time..it will be differnet. WE ALL KNOW THIS! right?..lol.. So starting wieght was 177lbs1oz monday nest was 175 1oz This Monday down to 172lbs 13oz. But that slimfast isn't holding me till 10:30..whaa..It had been so long since I was hungry I thought I was dying!!! Nice in a way :). Well between my damily, friends, this site and you ...maybe I'll finally get some weight off?!
