Hi Everyone,

Well, Friday I was the same, but today I'm up a pound to 159. Darn! It's those macadamia nuts. Why do I buy them when I know they're going to be trouble? I think another reason I'm not losing is because I get lazy and stop recording at Fitday, and that seems to give me license to sneak in a few extra carbs here and there--as if I don't see it "on paper", it doesn't count.

Just wondering, are there certain foods you know you should eliminate from your menu--but have difficulty doing so? For me, its definitely nuts. And I should also watch the whipping cream.

Jude: I am the original cookie monster. I don't allow them in the house. I have absolutely no will power when it comes to cookies.

I haven't posted my weight for a few weeks, but I'm back now. Currently 169, only a weekto get to the 165 goal. It may not happen but I am still doing well and am looking forward to losing more.

Where is everybody? Not much action here this week. Is eveyone slacking off like I am?

I know what you mean about cookies, Riddler! One advantage of being single is that I don't have to have "bad" foods around for someone else. So why do I still, every once in a while, buy things that I know are going to cause problems? I can't even make myself buy just a few macadamia nuts. It's either all or nothing.

If I want to keep this weight off, I must not eat nuts of any kind! Simple. Yeah, right! Changing attitudes is a heck of a lot harder than changing the menu!

I've had a really boring week--work, TV and sleep, generally feeling like robot, when just getting up is an effort. I did get back down to 158, so I guess that's something to be happy about, but talk about "yo yo" dieting!

Major pants test tomorrow. I washed my jeans tonight. It's going to be interesting to see whether I can still zip them up easily--or will I have stretch out on the bed to get them zipped like the old days?

So how's everyone doing?

I had a nice surprise this morning...I'm down to 156 today.

Hi everyone

I don't seem to be able to post on Fridays for some reason. The day just goes so quickly.

I finally have been able to go down one pound. I knew that I was in a plateau when the challenge started. My husband is down one also. We golfed on the weekend so maybe the walking helped some.

We are planning to golf every weekend if the weather will co-operate. It is a great form of exercise. We never use carts, just pull our bags along.

Have a great week everyone and I will try and make it for this Friday.
