You have all inspired me as well. I am really trying to watch what I eat at night which is when I generally undo all the good I've done during the day. Last night I had a hard time getting to sleep, and this is usually when I get up to eat. But I thought of all of you and finally decided on some fresh strawberries (no sugar). It worked! It was enough to get me to sleep, but that was after I had lain awake for several hours (arrgghh).

My exercises consist of either 2 miles on the tread mill or 30 minutes on the stationery bike. The last time I lost weight, I did 3 miles a day on the treadmill, but I ended up hating it so much. Two miles a day, I can do without hating it. I am not going to report on my exercising because I'm already doing that, so I'll check in when I need to or when I have lost my first 10 pounds.
