I think it is more important to be healthy rather than be fixated on a certain weight. Of course, easier said than done. As I write this, I know I have a magic number I'd love to reach on that scale ... and yet when I really want to motivate myself to be better with my eating/exercising, I just think of my kids and how I want to do everything I can to stay healthy as long as I can. Like everyone else here, I wish you much luck on your weight-loss journey.

It's all about making sure you include protein/fat/healthy carb at every meal to keep blood sugar from spiking. While I had success with the one I tried, constant relocating gets me off my routines and I find it hard to stick to it, even though I KNOW what I should be doing. I owned a treadmill before moving to Ireland which was really great but now after 4 years of little exercise other than walking to shops, etc, I'm feeling a little pudgy again and yet my sweet tooth has not disappeared. I'm hoping our new apartment will have a gym since 40C means no outdoor exercise until fall. It will be great to hear what you think of this diet and how easy it is to stick to it. You can do it!! :)lisaroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201063720578870254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-53330614633985843642011-05-28T14:02:33.633-04:002011-05-28T14:02:33.633-04:00I have a bloggie award for you over here:

Me and my friends email each other. What we EAT. EVERYTHING, EVERY DAY. It's kind of embarrassing some days, but it does make a person think b4 licking the spoon. We weigh in once each week and tell our loss or gain. It's working (most of the time) and we cheer each other on, and give a kick in the butt when needed!

Hello.<br /><br />I have first hand, been ignored, looked over, and walked past as if I don't exist in stores, line-ups etc.<br /><br />I have had many issues in my life. Food has been my friend for too long. It is a lifestyle.<br />Snacking, at night is my worst trait.<br /><br />Although, lately I have been forced to walk the streets of Vancouver, finding parking, and buildings. I forgot, what it was like to walk, sweat, and feel that high afterward. I used to run, about 13 years ago. It reminded me of how good exercise can feel.<br /><br />I wish you well on your endeavor..and maybe I will join you soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-8113763363539410812011-05-26T00:29:36.986-04:002011-05-26T00:29:36.986-04:00Good going Chania.

Last year I lost 35 lbs. by eating less carbs and doing more walking I managed to keep it off through the loss of my Dad in April and my Mom in Nov The day after the memorial I fell and shattered my knee cap. I'm gradually getting back to losing the 10 lbs I gained. I'm glad to hold out my hand to you and wish you every success.<br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01685954718812809855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-50678975374237425492011-05-25T23:40:38.716-04:002011-05-25T23:40:38.716-04:00Oh Chania, you've really struck a chord with w...Oh Chania, you've really struck a chord with women all over the world with this post! I've been fighting a battle with my weight for years. I've finally found a way of eating and a lifestyle which seems to suit me but I still have to be mindful about what I eat (and how much I eat!) Weight goes on so quickly and effortlessly but it's such a struggle to get rid of it! <br /><br />I found your blog through a comment you left on Tom Stephenson's blog.

I started off pretty slow and now I've worked up to 1 1/2 hours 3 to 4 times a weeks. I've lost weight. I don't know how much. I stay away from scales I find I fixate on that if it's around. I can tell by my clothes. Your on the right road. Every week just kick the speed up a little bit and you'll be shocked the difference it will make.<br /><br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-27049803869340490782011-05-25T20:56:07.776-04:002011-05-25T20:56:07.776-04:00Being an old slug, I watch every crumb I put in my...Being an old slug, I watch every crumb I put in my mouth.And, being the size of a jockey, five pounds can change my waist size by two notches of my belt.<br />But I do worry every time I sit down in my airplane seat, if some Goodyear Blimp is going to sit next to me and ask for a seat belt extender!<br />Being fit and healthy is much cheaper than being fat and unhealthy in the long run.<br />BTW,.....It is black tie.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497874766764411664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-1964595446791455062011-05-25T20:36:26.483-04:002011-05-25T20:36:26.483-04:00You go girl!!

Truthfully, I think that those who have a love for good food and sweets are some of the most interesting people out there. And really, who likes to be around a bore? :)<br /><br />I also think that it's just about 'feeling healthy, feeling good' so might be wise to try and not get caught up in numbers, like say 35lbs. Just keep up with a walk, aim to eat well, and when you feel good inside that's when you'll know you've succeeded?<br /><br />Best of luck Chania!a peony princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353551446859331950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156470752771486926.post-64838559913335283002011-05-25T14:26:51.454-04:002011-05-25T14:26:51.454-04:00Good luck!
