Hmm, sounds like good motivation. I lost a bit of weight before my surgery this summer, but it's creeping back on, and especially with winter coming, I know I won't get as much exercise & I love hearty winter foods....and holiday goodies ! OK, Ill try it. When are you gonna start? I'm leaving for a week on Nov. 7, and don't think I'll have access to a computer, but I'll log back on when I get home. BTW, couldn't we each set a goal, either 1 or two pounds, because depending on our ages & condition, what's healthy may vary. I like the idea of stating our weight loss goal if we don't want to reveal our weight.
