Missed my WW weigh in this week. I wasn't feeling well Monday so I skipped it. Still hanging in there though. The weekend may have been a little minor setback but I'm trying to get back on track. Not feeling very enthusiastic this week.:roll:

Saw these tips on active.com and hoped one or two might be useful.
10) Brush your teeth after dinner. This is three minutes well spent. Not only is brushing your teeth after dinner great for your teeth, but it makes your mouth feel nice and clean. This feeling should make you less likely to snack because you'd just be spoiling that spearmint fresh taste with a Megaboxmart bag-o-chips.
9) No snacking after dinner. No late night snacks whatsoever!
8) Eat a big healthy breakfast.
7) Eat less as the day progresses.
6) Avoid trigger foods like the plague.
5) Slow way down.
Have you noticed that the French have really got eating down to a culinary science? They only eat one course at a time. They won't eat until everybody at the table has been served, and when they do eat, the portions are very small.
4) Run like hell from anything with HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup). The only good thing about High Fructose Corn Syrup is that it acts like a canary in a coal mine.
Just think of HFCS like pig slop. It is what the food industry feeds us (out of the very bottom of the slop bucket) as the cheapest and worst substitute for sugar they can come up with.
3) Exercise more and eat less. Yes, we already knew this one.
2) Only one dessert per day.
With this definition in mind a can of regular Coke or Pepsi is dessert. I also consider anything with tons of empty calories like a bag of chips as dessert.
I had never thought of empty calories like chips as dessert.
1) You must really want it! At the end of the day, the only way I can and will lose weight is to want it -- more than I want that cookie after lunch.

I'm hanging in there, still walking every night and do "the firm" tapes four times a week.....but progress is moving at a snails pace!!!!!! and it's so hard to pass up beer on the weekends

One of my new tricks for keeping me exercising (aside from the trainer who is kicking my butt but it seems like it's paying off), is that when I think I can't do any more (e.g., walk fast on the treadmill, lift weights a little longer, etc.), I close my eyes and think of someone and "dedicate" my efforts to that person -- I think of the kids, and I've even thought about our SoWell friends who are trying to quit smoking (e.g., DD, Tootsie, Mango are some of the people I've thought about) because I figure it's hard to quit smoking so if they can try to do that, I can go a little longer with the exercise. Frankly, though, I think it's the trainer. If I keep working with the trainer for a year it's going to cost me about as much as a used car this year, but I figure I'm worth more than a used car! And we already have two used cars (1999 and 2001) so we don't need another one anyway.
