It will be a challenge quitting and working on changing your diet, but it wonderful that you are on the road to good health!! You are doing the right thing in knowing how very important it is to make those diet changes also, as many people that quit smoking want to eat eat eat instead! Don't be terribly hard on yourself, but take those small steps to make those changes. Try crunchy things that you can carry with you, I've heard that helps and remember to try to eat 4-6 smaller meals a day, that should help a lot, also. Good luck to you and keep going at it, I mean if you have gone this long, why puff now, right!!!?!! Good luck to you and with your goals! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

My virus seemed to have crept deeper and I lost most of my voice over the weekend (I'm sure my family didn't mind that part of it!). I usually bounce out of sickness pretty quickly, but this one dragged me further into it as the days progressed! So I am waiting patiently to be able to get back to the gym, trying to not get overly frustrated. In the meantime to keep my mind focused on good health, the newspaper came and took my picture for a 3 mile walk I am going to participate in to raise funds for mental illness and I am planning hiking days for the upcoming spring with my husband - who is also (with our son) going to walk with me!! He said he doesn't even like to walk the dogs, but he has finally realized the importance of good health watching me lately and seems ready to finally do something himself! I am thrilled, I even have him eating wheat bread and drinking skim milk!!! That in itself is miraculous! I guess that is progress even though I am miserably ill, I know that I will be over it SOMETIME and in the meantime am watching my diet and anxious to get moving again!! :) -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

I got very sick with this upper respitory virus and spent three days hardly moving except to cough and use the bathroom, but today I am feeling it shaking off of me as I am coughing less and my here and there fever seems to finally have given up. I have been eating real good and have stayed commited to my goals other than the exercising which the doc said to hold off on - NOT give up on!! I nearly threw something at my husband when he asked when the last time I exercised was as I was laying with three boxes of used kleenex surrounding me! I truly miss it and can't wait to get back there, but in the meantime I am not going to give up as I said before, I am going to eat well and know that someday this will be over! Good luck to you all this week and hope to hear from more of you on these manic monday's! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

My goal is to loose 40 lbs. by the end of the year.I am working out at the gym 3to 4 times a week as time allows (but no less!) I am using a SMART goal approach. This includes setting Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Time oriented goals. I like so many find a little encouragement goes a long way. I hope this helps someone. -------------- One of life\'s mysteries is how a two pound box of candy can make a woman gain five pounds.

jsashford Posts: 3 Joined: 2005/04/11	2005/04/16, 03:53 PM Hi again I just wanted to share that the scales tell me that I've lost 10 yes ten lbs this month. Yeah!!! I have acheived this just working out 3-4 times a week and watching the amount of food I put in my mouth! I know that things seem to go faster in the begining so I am not going to get too excited yet. That leaves me with another 30 lbs. to go!Thanks for letting me join your little group! :) -------------- One of life\'s mysteries is how a two pound box of candy can make a woman gain five pounds.
7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2005/04/26, 07:47 AM Well I thought I would start this up again. I am back on track in terms of diet, went off a little for the last few weeks. Also I am taking advantage of the facts that I have 1 hour lunches, there is nice roads to walk on, and a shower here at work so I am walking for 20 mins at least 3 times a week. -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com

7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2005/05/30, 09:40 AM Hey guys and gals! It has been a while since anyone posted here. Thought I would give it a go. I was planning on taking a week off retooling my diet plan and generally resting. Last week I got a double whammy, vertigo and a sinus infection. So I had to take a week off. Which ended up being good. So there we are how are the rest of you all doing? -------------- Less Talk, More Chalk! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com

If you don't get enough calories, your body will go on "survival" mode and start storing fat, which is probably why you gained the weight back in the 1st place.
