[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 647452, member: 2196"] I just wanted to chime in about the creamer. I use Coffee Mate's sugar free vanilla and it's only 15 calories a tablespoon. One tablespoon is plenty sweet enough for me along with a teaspoon of Splenda. It tastes great and barely makes a dent in my calories. I also joined up with myfitnesspal along with Weight Watchers. WW says I don't need to count calories but I do anyway. I want to make sure I'm staying around 1200 calories a day as well as counting my Weight Watchers points. And I can really empathize with the both of you on the exercise dilemma. I work at a stressful job, both my kids still live at home and need me, and exercise just isn't my top priority. I also hate, loathe, and detest any form of exercise. I envy those like my coworker who love the whole process of going to the gym and working out. My supervisor hits the gym for a minimum of two hours every single day after work. She actually LIKES it! I am one who hates the entire process from beginning to end. We have a gym in our apartment complex but I've never been to it yet. I hate exercising indoors. I go for 20 minute power walks outdoors and being in the fresh air makes my exercise a little more tolerable. I get to see kids outside playing, people out walking their dogs, and plenty of bike riders. I also listen to my favorite music and it helps the time go by faster. In the end I am sweaty and short of breath, but I feel so accomplished after I am done. Even 20 minutes of brisk walking makes the weight drop off faster. Dieting alone was helping me lose approximately one pound a week, but my walking gets me down 2 pounds a week. Every little bit helps. If I can do it, I have total faith the both of you can do it as well. [/QUOTE]
