At this point, as long as I'm seeing about a pound a week I'm fine with that.

How about a December 1st Deadline? I would be just thrilled if I could lose 10 pounds by December 1st... I was so not a loser for the September deadline!

Sounds good to me. That's doable.

I had not checked this post for several weeks for fear of where teachum might be at this point.

I was right. I shouldn't have looked.

Way to go, though!

Sounds good to me. While I didn't make my goal, I came close enough to motivate me.

Besides, I am so busy working at my new job, I forget about eating! Should make the Dec. deadline and then some if things keep going as they are!

Maybe by Dec. 1 we'll have a low cal/carb Xmas cookie recipe thread going???

Good idea, Bee Lady. Maybe Cindy can make a sticky thread for us to post helpful/healthful recipes on.

I'm huge. And very unhappy about it.

You can do it, Cindy. Don't think about where you are right now, just start a program and watch it start to come off. I was really bummed about where I was starting from in June, but before you know it...... Trying to give you some encouragement here.

Fortunately we're entering a period of great weather for exercise, so I'll be back on the horse soon enough. Hopefully.

You have a horse? Is it a gelding? Just kidding, Cindy.

I am now on a regular exercise schedule (a gym opened in the building I work in, so I go over lunch hour), but no weight loss yet. I obviously need to cut down on what I eat too, but I like food. Will post more later.

Cut out the schmaltz, Jeffrey (as revolting a kitchen iongredient as lard) and all will be well!
Still reeling at your comments about it earlier. Not to mention -- gefilte fish. Thinking of it without horseradish is enough to, to....

Amanda - Um, I think your sarcasm detector is out tune. If you have it checked out, all will be fine.

Sometimes I entertain myself by predicting what a given poster is going to say on a particular topic before I read it. When I saw your name on this one, I expected something along the lines of your feelings about circumcision if not more so. Second only perhaps to being asked your opinion on the really sweet Manischevitz.

Imagine my surprise when...

I think one of the problems is, you don't often use sarcasm, Jeffrey. And besides, I figured there had to be SOMETHING Jewish about you - perhaps this was where it all began. Mameloschen - only literally the tastebuds.

(Somebody buys that stuff, FGS! My older son actually likes it, in fact. I have it on good authority that RickCG likes brussels sprouts, for that matter.).

And as far as quick short cuts to weight loss, I guess you'll just have to lay off the sauce bearnaise, brie and foie gras!
