Thanks!!! We are eating much healthier now, lots of grilled chicken, rice and veggies. I've cut out sweets and junk food except for a splurge about once a month. Last month it was pizza and ice cream, yum! We are trying to eat mostly whole grains too, wheat tortillas with our fajitas and stuff like that. It really hasn't been too difficult because I'm satisfied with the food (hubby does most the cooking since it's on the grill). I'm not a breakfast eater and I usually eat a light lunch of cottage cheese and fruit or just cereal.

The big key is exercise. We walk every evening, about 1 1/2- 2 miles, and I've been swimming all summer. I try to do about 100 laps every other day. Unfortunately the impending cooler weather will force us to close the pool soon. Guess I'll have to join a gym.

We started this on April 19th so I'm thrilled to have lost 50 pounds in 5 months.
