Wow, you're doing great!

I understand about controlling oneself with certain things. I don't buy cheese nips, coz I KNOW I'll go nuts with them if they're here. I just enjoy them when I *run into* them at other people's houses & parties, etc.

The main thing that can give me problems right now is beer. I LOVE the stuff AND the way it makes me feel. But, once I go over a certain amount, not only do I have the extra empty calories from the beer itself, BUT I get the munchies too - and NOT for healthy stuff!

So, when I do drink it, I am experimenting with controlling the amounts, so as not to trigger the munchies... keeping some of the pleasure I get from it, but keeping the calories low at the same time.

Seems like you're doing the same thing in your own way. I'm glad it's working for you!

Chip~ you are doing great. I too will be giving something up... pop is first on my list (cause I dont drin kmuch of it anyway) and second is surgar... If I can give up sugar, I can do ANYTHING! So Chip, I dedicate my sugarless 2 weeks to YOU!
The only thing I would like you to change is to stop refering to the "Normal Person"... you know? I mean.... what is normal anyway? LOL

Christina, Your right about normal person. Need to say that in another way. Weighing what I do makes me out of control. I do think I'm normal (maybe). I'll think of a better way to put that. Good luck on your sugar, that was something I was totally out of control on. I do have sugar again, it's only nonfat yougurt 3 times a week. At least I think it has sugar, I have never actually looked. So besides that I have not had sugar in 72 days. I will have sugar again when I can have like, one scoop of ice cream, one candy bar, etc.

I hope everyone did good today. Thanksgiving not an easy day to eat right. I was not perfect today. I am very satifised with how I faired. It was so nice here, we took are tables outside & ate outside, it was great. The best thing I did today was get up at 5:30 AM & take my walk. I have also reached goal # 2 which was 255 Lbs. That was the weight I was when I got down sized from where I was working for 22 Yrs. Next Goal is 245 Lbs.

I made it thru thanksgiving with no harm done. I even did my walking in the morning. I even stayed within the calories I'm allowed.

Hooray for resisting temptation on a feast holiday! I know I wasn't nearly so strong, so its great to see someone else was

I jogged 2 miles today without stopping. I actually think there will be a time when I can be a runner again. It has been so many years, guessing 15 to 20 years since I was a runner.

wtg your doing amazing!

i love your enthusiasm keep up the hard work!

Yesterday I reached 250 Lbs, which is great. I decided when I first strated I would start lifting weights. Which I did yesterday, even thou I have not been looking forward to starting.

I weigh myself on a doctors scale, so today when I weighed in I was 249.50, so I get to move the big weight on the scale it has been a long time for this moment to arrive.

Today on my four mile walk, I started jogging at the very begining. All of a sudden I jogged 1/2 mile without walking, then a mile. I made my whole 4 miles jogging without ever walking. I am shocked, happy, thrilled. etc.

That is absolutely fantastic! I'm so happy you were able to make it so far jogging, keep it up!
