Larry, loved the awards post!

My bad habit. I'm still adverse to exercise. I need to start getting a least some form of it. Longer, daily walks at the very least.

Oh and to answer your question about bad habits. I still to this day think food is going to solve the problem, I'm actually working on that, had kind of a stressful day after work yesterday, and went to the gym and worked it out there instead of putting food in my mouth!

[JustDoIt130 369]

I'm down .5 today to 267. Yay. Better than nothing

My bad habit- is wanting something sweet after dinner. I'm doing yogurt and a pudding cup at the end of the day- still within calories, but still a habit I'm not happy with.

[lmwalter 1]

I stayed the same at 148 - better than up, I guess. Need to get back in the gym more!!

[S2b 18]

Stayed the same 185.

I won't be making my February goal. My birthday is march 9th. My goal is to be in the 70's by then.

My bad habit, and probably why I am not loosing, is picking. When I am making dinner for my kids. I pick at it taking a bite here or there. I am under calorie goal so I think I am safe. Obviously NOT.

From now on going forward...NO MORE !!

Down 2 pounds to 238.

I hope everyone had a good Valentines Day. I went out to dinner with my best friend whom I proposed to 19 years ago this week, then we came home and watched zombie movies.

[Jewel28 5]

Im weighing in this week at 246.8lbs thats a loss of 4.4lbs..keep pushin.

[Puppypaws57 137]

Slowly but surely. Down to 220, a loss of 1 lb. AND I did only look at candy at the store yesterday, but today it is all ON SALE!!

My bad habit is one that I have a hard time breaking. I eat intelligently when hubby is around. But if he isn't around, I'll sneak something like sherbert or his ice cream. I'll buy a candy bar if I'm out shopping alone, or get eat something while he is at the bar. Any ideas on why I do this?

Feb. 15 - 186.2

My bad habit is that my obsession with food is still there, it has just changed. Now instead of thinking about eating all the time, I'm thinking about which food choices will keep my calories low and how exercise will give me more free calories. It's all about the deficit for me these days. I'm hoping that becomes healthier.
