Coops do you want to join us? We will all support each other :)
If extra weight makes you missable then it's worth a try to be happier with who you are. I haven't been happy with my weight for some time and decided that now is the time to try and become a bit healthier.

Yummy home made raspberry muffin for breakfast (the recipe was for 12 - about 284 calories each, I got 17 out of the recipe so probably less calories than that).  I've been snacking on beef jerky as I cleaned out my pantry and I'm now enjoying an enormous cup of Earl Grey tea while I do some actual work......Day two of being good is going well.

They sound pretty good Stacelee, I have some raspberries in the freezer too :D
I just brought a chocolate mud cake for DHs birthday (I'm not having any) I think just smelling it would be 100 calories :o
I will take a photo later and you will know what I mean.
I'm going to be good, I'm going to be good, I'm going to be good :D

Read 'Eat to Live' by Joel Fuhrman focus is on optimal health and nutrition with sustained weight loss a welcome side-effect for most.
That's why I bought a TMX (many recipes suggest Vitamix or high speed blender)  Then I discovered the Cakes/Desserts/Biscuit sections here on the forum  :-))
Good luck.

Dede I think you should be able to have a little bit of cake to celebrate your DH's birthday  :)
It's a special day (and that cake looks too good to resist!)

I hope it was a lovely day

You need to be able to enjoy the good things, just in moderation. I tend to increase my exercise these days if I know I'm going to be eating more of the treat things than normal.

That cake Mandi.... :o

I think it would be more detrimental for your mental health to deprive yourself of such a decadent treat than it would be to your waistline if you had a little bit ;)

Birthdays don't count anyway :-))
And you're lucky you have 5 kiddies + DH + your own ;D

I need to join this group and I usually start my attempt to lose weight at the beginning of each month or so. Right now I'm not quite motivated and it's soooo hard in winter....boohoo

Did you want me to add you to the list Tasty? At least you will have all our support :)

Next birthday is on the 16 of July, so I will be good till then.
