OK, I quit fooling myself into thinking I could do this weight loss thing without my weekly TOPS meeting. So, I went back Thursday night and found I had gained 30 pounds since April 13,2000.

So, I decided to do as follows:

Follow 1500 calorie exchange plan that I originally lost 92 pounds on

Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day

15-30 minutes of "extra" activity/exercise per day ( could be extra housework/yardwork or actual planned activity)

Come here for extra motivation/support

Attend my weekly TOPS meeting to confront "Mr. Scale"

Reward myself for every success !

So for now I am 44 down and 122 to goal.

Will post results Thurs night or Fri morning.

See ya' in chat !

Thanks Joanne R, Carrie and Stephanie.
Hey, I even made it into chat Sat. night and found People ! WOO HOO :)

I am on my 3rd successful day, and I did 15 minutes of my Bodies in Motion video this morning. Feeling pretty positive about that. I went back to work today, which means back to STRESS...but, I am determined. I can do this, I've done it before, and with your help I'm doing it again.

Thanks for your help !

Good going Cocoon! You are going to get there.... I can just feel it. You've made a good plan and it sounds like you're doing great with it. You haven't gained it all back, so that's a good starting point. Hope to hear more from you!

Here's to healthy and happy!
