Hang in there as an inspiration to the rest of us. It gets harder to lose pounds every year.

So true, so true...we just gotta be more diligent :) Keep up the good work.

I admire your dedication to the cause despite how tough it is.

My wife's facing a similar challenge, and I know how gutsy you have to be to see it through.

I know you'll manage to succeed. The spirit is in your words.

I am SO there with you...why can't cookies and cake be diet food? Why can't eating greasy burgers cause your metabolism to jump up and do jumping jacks while you're sitting down???

I NEED to drop some weight...10 would be nice, 15 even better...20 would be healthy! I'll follow your blog and see what happens...maybe you'll inspire me to do something.

Ohhhhh...I feel your pain! I want to be thin and have muscles AND I want to be able to eat cake and cookies and pizza and Big Macs (though admitedly, not all at the same time because I do have limits...)

And I totally swiped that kitten picture, so that I can look at it again later and laugh... too cute.

here via Michele's this time!

I've got three teen girls sitting in the next room talking about how fat they are and how thin is cool. It drives me nuts.

it really is tough, isn't it? I'm trying to lose weight too, and I honestly keep having vivid dreams about chocolate cake. I wake up feeling guilty.. lol...

Hang in there and know that are lot of us are with you in the fight. Michele ssent me.

In the same boat. I have helped my mom lose 60 pounds, seen my brother do the same and my daughter get rid of her college 15 in the last few months. All of them using variations of the South Beach diet based on the low carb, high protein (but low fat) and the good carb/bad carb route. (Key word - glycemic index) It works for them. Mom is diabetic and this was the only one she could do. But, she still has to bake and she can't eat it so who else is there but my dad and I. I am next in line for this.... I hate to sweat.

Love the rant. Love the kitty. Made me giggle. I'll be back!

I am totally with ya girl ..lol
WHY , WHY , WHY!!!!...

I had a great weekend, I even got a birthday card from Kristen Bell. Thanks for asking.

Definitely with you on THAT one! I'm still not understanding why the effort to consume an entire apple pie can't make one LOSE weight. The unfairness of it all...
