I am actually quite proud of myself.. I am at 165 now! So 5 pounds down, 15 to go!! I think that the main thing that is helping me is that I invested in a scale. I haven't weighed myself in years! I was terrified to know what the damage was. But now I know the dreaded number, so I can't stay off the scale! Jamie! You are right! I also find myself jumping on the scale whenever I walk in the bathroom. Anyway! Back to the part about the scale helping me out the most, because if I eat something I shouldnt, like a huge, fried Chimiganga with sour cream and guacamole, then I immediatly gain 3 pounds back for every screw up! So, I have nearly steared away from bad fatty meals. I will have a few candies every now and then, just to keep everything in moderation. I also quit Diet Coke! I had one glass with dinner when I engourged myself with that sickly delicious Chimichanga. But I feel pretty dang good!! I am drinking tons and tons of water. I do need to exersize more.. that is the hardest part!
I have to laugh at myself, because I feel a bit thinner, so I tried on my skinny jeans, just in case they fit yet. Fat chance!..... literally

Why are you quitting Diet Coke? Do you know something I don't? I want to decrease my intake mainly because I drink less water, when I am always drinking coke...but not to lose weight...unless you have heard that it helps. Let me in on you secret!
i may sound like a know it all, and how would i know all this right. but i have researched this, not by choice but beacuse travis is a nut. He has the "chubby" gene as well, so he is constantly looking into stuff like this and then is so excited to tell me when he discovers something new.
I heard that to. When I was in High school and going to Karate, our teacher challenged (told us) to quit drinking soda so we could get into better shape. I didn't drink soda for 8 months. I felt great. I felt a lot better trying out for basketball and softball even though I couldn't run and still can't.
My friends lost a lot of weight by just taking out soda. One friend lost I think 20 lbs.
To lose my baby weight I started eating or drinking water every hour. Example:
Breakfast (7am) oatmeal, plain and cottage cheese
8am drink 16 oz water
9 am eat 1 string cheese
10 am drink 16 oz water
11 am eat 1 fruit
noon lunch- 1 can chicken mized with a diced tomato
baiscally protein for lunch and dinner. drinking the water helps you not be hungry and snacking all day helps your metabolsim.
I do this for 6-14 days and then start adding back small portions of other food. Just trying to be helpful.
