great news osuche ... I'm striving to get to the point where I don't have to take any (over-the-counter) pills for the knees, etc. ... may be a ways away still, but I've managed to cut back by 1 (was taking 4/day now 3/day) most days and I see that as a good thing!

maddy ... hope tomorrow is an easier day for you! What a great job you're doing though, even in the down times you keep at the treadmill, wonderful!!!

Lil ... also hope tomorrow is a better day for you ... glad you were down this morning, but make sure you get enough to sustain your energy needs! - just a bit of mom coming out in me I guess

WI and Aqua ... way to keep at it ... such habits have years worth of conditioning behind them and every step forward is a good thing!

IAKG so glad you are making progress with the sugars thing ... that is so great!

And me, I've made it through another day ... managed for the last three days to keep my calories in the middle range .. I thought I had been at the top of the range on Sunday, but got looking at my list of what I ate (looked at it on monday) and realized when i cut and pasted some of the info from the previous day, I hadn't removed a lean cuisine entree, so after deleting it from the total ... all of the last three days, I've been in the 1600-1700 range ... that makes me happy! Off to bed now.
