I think I have given up on trying to keep track of everything I eat on fitday.com. I find it hard to track some of the stuff I still eat. Like casseroles, mixed salad ( not lettuce stuff). I have troulbe finding some things also. I think sometimes I get to focused on what I'm eating and trying track it on fitday. I have had a pretty good weekend. I go for another fill tomorrow and hope the scale drops some. I would love to lose 1lb a week, but I don't think I've done that. I know that my clothes are getting bigger, but not to big yet. I really thought I would hit a size smaller, but not really there yet ( very close).

Its really hot here and I have not started walking outside yet, but I still useing my little pedals and I have up it to 20 minutes at a time.  I hope to make to 30 minutes by the end of this week.  I want to walk as soon as it get cooler and maybe I can walk for 30 minutes. I know that the pedals are easier than walking, but it still movement.  I averaged 2884 steps per day last week and I want to increase that to 3000 per day on average this week.  I really think moving will up my weight lost.  I need to get over the fear of a gym, but not yet. I still feel like I'm to big to go to a gym.  Besides being retired I can't really afford on right now, maybe in a year.  I hope I can get my DH to go with me at that time.  I can do some tapes and things like that at home.  Maybe I will try one of channels on tv that has excerise on it.

I'm feeling very hopeful this will be a good week. I get to go scrapbooking this next weekend. I know that will be a challenge, has I will not be home. I'm trying to plan ahead. My sister and niece are coming on thursday and will return to their homes on friday. We are planning on eating out at least twice. Shouldn't be to hard to eat at the places we are talking about going to.

I CAN DO THIS. I WILL BE THINNER IN THE DAYS AND MONTHS AND YEARS TO COME. I WILL BE HEALTHIER AND HAPPY.

I am new to this site and have scheduled a consult for the lap band procedure. I wanted to wish you well in your efforts and I hope you start to see the pounds just fall away. I do have a membership to a gym but I feel so out of place and embarrased that I do not go often. I do try to excercise at home and walk some, but it's not easy at all. I hope you reach your goals and I wish you all the luck in the world.
