[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 203319, member: 805"] Hi Sharon and Fran, Sharon, thanks for posting this update. I've been so very busy lately and feeling guilty for not checking in on everyone. I agree with Fran, stress is a huge eating trigger - sometimes all we want is solice and comfort and food is often the quickest and easiest. But, we all know it is the hardest to overcome once eaten! Fran, you've had a heck of a year and staying at goal, even though a little loose, is a major thing. It seems that for most of us celebrations mean food. We gather with family for "food holidays" like Thanksgiving and Christmas, we meet up with friends for dinner, etc. How come we don't meet for a walk or bike ride? It's ingrained in us I suppose. As for me, life has been crazy and hectic! Exercise is still there, but I've fallen off on the eating a little. I'm still doing my best to stay on core, but not doing as well as I did the first three weeks. But, I am slowly but surely seeing the pounds come off. I'm at 47 down at this point and actually talked to the aquatic director yesterday about the, umm, well..., the loose extra skin that is showing up on my arms and legs. She is recommending that, for at least two of my water fitness days, I come in a little early and do some of the weight machines. The water fitness is great for burning fat, toning and building some muscle and strength, but she thinks I should do a little muscle building. Two pluses to that idea is the filling out and appearance of less loose skin and the inrease in calerie burn when doing cardio. We'll see. I do have the ability to do it as I drop difficult child at school at 8 and have until 9:30 before class begins. I'm thinking of taking Mon and Fri mornings to try the new routine. It's a lot of time at the gym though........ Hope everyone is doing well. Trinity, hopefully those cheesies are off the menu! Wendy, how's the WW going? Barbara, how's your cutting back to quit going? Beth, glad to have you back with us! Alyssa, how's it going with your healthy living plan? Marg, your dedication and "I'm a winner" attitude will keep that weight loss off and keep you healthy! WFEN, sorry that you are still having health and and pain issues with your foot. It's tough when you can't exercise like you want. Is bicycling or water walking an issue or available? JJJ, you still with us? Star, where are you? Haven't heard from you on this board in months! Keep going and stay strong!!! Sharon [/QUOTE]
