Thanks for sharing. Perhaps my goals have been out of reach because they were large goals. After reading your post I will set a small goals and continue from there.

I love this! I recently listened to an audiobook (Better than Before) and the author spoke about two types of people. People who are okay with moderation or people who need to restrict. For me, I've noticed that I need to restrict....but not in a bad way. Like if there is a pan of brownies, I cannot limit myself to just one, I will eat 5. However, if I don't eat any then I feel fine. Does that make sense? I think that on WW, I am able to be this way because I know in the back of my mind I can have it if I want to track it.

You say you have been very successful with Weight Watchers and it shows!!!! I wonder though, did you try Weight Watchers just once and it worked on the first try or had you tried it in the past with not as much success as this time?

I just bought Country Heat from Beach Body and I love it. Wait! Before you block me - no, I am not a Coach and I don't do the shakes! I just love to pretend I know how to dance!!! It is so much fun. ?????

I play at exercise! I own a small horse farm and there is way too much work for me to do there to justify gym memberships or planning time to "WORK OUT" so I set my thoughts on getting things done... for example, weeds I set my timer for say 5-10 minutes and pull weeds (and get them put in the burn pile) in my allotted time! I'll chop scrub trees, spray weed killer, pick up the dining room, clean a few stalls, clean the barn area, what ever I have in my head... its amazing what you can get done in just a few minutes... each time you have a little time. I do this between working 3 jobs, taking care of 6 horses and actually trying to keep up on house and barn! PLUS, here is how I look at it... personally I hate taking the time to work out, I think wow this time (and energy) could be used to get something done... and I know since I hate it I won't keep up with working out after my "diet" is over... so I have to find something I WANT to do.... (or should I say HAVE to do) keeping the house and barn looking good means a lot more to me than paying some big corporate place to provide me a tread mill! So I will continue setting my timer working on my chores and trying to keep up with life on the farm! NOT to mention step bet who pays me to do all this!!!
