GM Johnson -- What type of fattening foods? Are they something that you could work in in moderation @ different times? I've learned that total deprivation is the worst for me. I'm someone who needs A LOT of something & has struggled w/the concept of working something in in moderation -- but I have come to adjust to some things....I'm not sure ...

I took her after work Friday to get scanned for a microchip and there isn't one. I posted an ad on Craig's List on Friday and an ad started running in the paper yesterday. One woman e-mailed from CL, but it's a different dog (I hope she finds hers!). Even the vet tech said, "Congratulations on your new dog." lol So, I'm going to wait a week or ...

Uggh. I have had quite a few of those days lately. Change in weather= change in mood I believe. I know that is a contributing factor. Winter is here and it is easier to stay inside and eat comfort foods. I've gained almost 10 pounds since summer when I was outdoors most days. I feel awful and definitely don't have as much energy. Need encouragement!

A huge benefit to all of our journeys:) As for advice...hmmmm... --Don't beat yourself up --Don't deprive yourself --Pat yourself on the back for every wise choice:) Best of luck ...

I find on those days that I'm better off giving in and taking a 1/2 hour nap. After that I feel much more energized and I can actually accomplish things. If I try to push though it I end up wasting all sorts of time.

What is the point of drinking 2 oz a day? Geez, do you need it that bad?

I hear ya.

My buddy (and teammate) Rob joined me here. He wasn’t feeling well. As I headed off, I modified my strategy to walk the last .07 of every mile. That worked out to a minute or more. My running pace was probably a bit too quick, as I was averaging things like 9:40 during this stretch, even with the walking. At 31 Rob called it. He said he was done. ...

Hi there...first...you may want to give your post a title that has something to do with what you are asking...but anyway...welcome...I have the same problem...I work for a small family owned Ice cream and Dairy store (in the office)...and seems like we are ALWAYS testing something sweet and fattening...I try to limit myself on tastings...but if you eat ...

I will: De clutter kitchen Find some things to go with the roast Clean powder room

I hear ya.

Same as always: Child is not in danger of harm, none of my business.

I agree, Louis. However, I am afraid at this point it will only invite trouble and that is not fair to Beth. There is someone intent on attacking today.

Ugh - I hate Walmart.

If you couldnt finish that ridiculously tiny meal, then fine - don't finish it. Water doesn't "fill you up" contrary to popular belief. You just weren't hungry.

Well...I would expect Newsweek to have more integrity than that.

See my signature for my opinion.

So, DBF calls and I tell him what's going on and he says, "You mean that little min min that's been running around for a few days?" I guess she's been out there a while. There's nothing in the newspaper. I need to call at 8 to see if I can place a found ad free or cheap because online it says it's going to cost $49. So, we got her cleaned up and I ...

Personally, I would probably build the normal moving around and carrying baby into my daily target via the activity level on the Points quiz. An extra, actual walk? I'd just count it as whatever the walk calculates for you with your weight and intensity.

None at all.
