But I have more news: I saw my collar bone in a picture today!!!! I didn't even know until today that I wasn't usually able to see it, but when I looked at a picture of myself, I noticed it IMMEDIATELY!!! I'm doing something right!!! FINALLY!!!

I'm so proud of me, I just had to share!!!

Way to go Ideal, and congrats on taking the first step to a new and healthier you. Ask CT4 that is like my mantra ....The book you have on your blog The me I knew I could be is exactly. I got it about 4 years ago when I first lost weight and I look through it every so often just to keep me grounded. what helped me was knowing this that is a lifestyle change and not a diet, and that has helped me to maintain my weight loss. Since you said that you joined WW something that may be helpful to you is to log onto their site and read some of the success stories...and read the WW Canada as well...the success stories help to see that you are not alone in this, and it keeps you motivated, well it doe3s me anyway....but one thinbg that I found that I must do to keep the weight off besides changing my eating habits is to exercise, even when you don't want to, you have to push yourslef, so now when I miss a day I feel like I missed out on something. I put in 5 days a week, and do about 70 minutes on Saturday, but only 40 mins Sun-Wed...Thursday and and Friday are my off days...but you have to do it. So if you ever need an sounding board hit me up KLL@prodigy.net....and continue towards your goal.

Thanks, Kim!! I will DEFINITELY be using you as a sounding board! I have been str8 slacking on the exercise in the past week. Still walking a lot, but not for exercise, so I'm not getting more than 10K steps. My pedometer broke, so I have to get a new one. That little thing really does motivate me to walk more.

Let me know if you want tis walk/jog DVD thta I burned for Carla. It's easy and it's 30 mins that you can do in your own house if you aren't able to get out and do any walking.
I do it on Sunday instead of going to the gym along with a tae bo tape.
