Anyway, thanks for letting me join the list. I most likely will just
lurk and learn, except for joining in on any "list activities". I am
really serious about these 100 pounds! I am not in a hurry though. All
I want to lose is about 1 to 2 pounds a week,


You will lose quicker than that at first, so take advantage of it. Start
with gentle exercise on a daily basis--one lap around the block, then two, then
three....etc. until you get up to about 2-3 miles a day. Then start timing
yourself and start cutting the time it takes you to do it. When I first
started on the elliptical machine, I couldn't do 10 minutes and it took me 22+
minutes to do a mile. I now do a mile in 9 minutes, 1.5 miles in 14 mins, 2
miles in 21 minutes and 3 miles in 35 minutes without stopping. You will work
up to it but don't go crazy all at once and kill yourself or hurt yourself.
Stick with the program--I'm a sugar slut all the way, so I have to have a
sweet before bed or I can't stick with it. I eat virtually no carbs during
the day and then at night I have a dish of the Breyer's Carb Smart ice cream
before bed and it keeps me on the plan because I look forward to it all day! I
do creative things with it and mixed with diet soda for floats or shakes,
it's yummy! I add nuts to the chocolate, crushed sugar-free Oreos (2) for
cookies-n-cream or other creative twists. I also have recipes for sugar-free
and
low carb cheesecake--also keep in mind that sugar free DOES NOT mean low
carb!!!! It can be sugar-free but not low carb, but it can't be low-carb with
sugar in it!

Hey.....where are we going? And why are we in a handbasket......? Is it
getting warm in here or is it just me............?

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say does that star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
