Haven’t checked in on this site for quite a while. Happy to hear you’re making another attempt to control your weight. A month has gone by since you started your latest quest . . . how’s it going?

Exercise always makes me feel better whether I loose weight right away or not.

Oh Doug, I definitely like the picture you posted in April better than your latest. Maybe the answer is to live with me for a few months.

Hi Dale. 108 lbs. Aren’t you 145?

That doesn’t sound like a lot since Gigi’s so petite. I’d be more impressed by the number, I think.

Calories in, calories out. I’m convinced that’s all there is to it.

You’ll look just like your dad when I married him! You know I’ve told you he had a body like a Greek God . . .

Haha to Doug’s comment. Still laughing. Funny stuff.

I’ve lost four pounds in three weeks from eating less and exercising more. Approximately 1600 (between 1400 and 1900) calories/day, and 30 minutes of pretty fast running 3 times/week.

Good luck with your mini tri training.

If you look like that I might beat you up.

Hi Bart. Thanks for taking time to comment here. I’ve been doing my favorite thing, coasting. Time to kick into gear again while I’m still down about 9 pounds from my highest weight. I like the idea of packing a lunch and measuring the calories. I’ve made some great home made whole wheat bread and could do a good little 300 cal turkey sand with a few chips and diet coke. Save money, time and lose weight. It’s too hard to know your intake when you go out to lunch. I am busy, working hard and enjoying the challenge. If I break even this year, I’ll be thrilled. Say hi to the cute librarian you live with.

I recommitted last week to working out at least 3 days per week. We’ve also been staying away from fast food entirely (I was going to Wendy’s whenever I didn’t pack a lunch last semester, which was often. Now that I can’t do Wendy’s, I definitely take the time it takes to make a lunch. Actually, Janssen and I switch off days making them, which works fine), and limiting myself to 2 desserts per week (this hasn’t been too difficult, but has been effective to help me cut back on mindless dessert/candy snacking.

I’m currently at 168. Should probably get down to 155 or 160.
