I feel your pain and am so sorry you have to fight this battle! I too am a sugar addict and dont get in my way when I need a fix. It comes in many forms - my happy hour glass of wine, sometimes even too many vegetables at one sitting can send me into sugar hell. The only thing I do know is...

There are no quick or easy shortcuts when it comes to weight loss. I have always admired the women on this board because they never advised the fad thing. They ate, worked out and got in the best shape!! Keep up the great work ladies! You have truly set a fantastic example and are the best...

Can you puhleeaasssee knock some sense into me! Yesterday I posted my new plan - balanced healthy - got some great tips and am all excited to begin my journey! But....I can't help but get distracted by the quick fix. How do you fight it? I am going away in 5 weeks. I would love to do some...

Thank you so much - both of you! MM - great response! You are so right - not sure why i focused on a number rather than just plain old getting back in shape! We are leaving on a family vaca in 5 weeks and I was wishing for short term results but in reality it is time to get serious. Thank...

You are my HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 60 pounds!! I am glad to hear low carb is ok - I believe in it. 11 miles - what a perfect day! I am just switching to HITT and as you know it is a completely different mind set! I really loved the long runs - but I have toooo much weight on my body right now...

Thanks again! I could not beleieve when I found out today! I am so psyched to see all of the people that have provided us with their awesome advice on this board! - He was telling me about the expo and said that Corey Everson and others are usually there! - It's pathetic that at 43 I still...
