Something about those active cultures that do not agree with my tummy . :) I probably should have mentioned that I cannot have anything with yogurt in it.

I'd also recommend substituting a Muller Light yoghurt (do you have those in the US ?) instead of the banana and milk, trying to pick a fruit that goes nicely with the flavour of the yoghurt. I got a juicer for my birthday, which was a surprise, so I'm going to try that out at some point. The shopping delivery turned up with an extra kilogram of carrots - free !) so I guess I've go the basis of some healthy drinks already !

While I TRY to fit in some form of exercise everyday - it is so much easier when it is about 75 degrees, warm and sunny outside. I hate to work out indoors. I got rid of all my exercise equipment last year! The only thing I have left is my open floor (great for dancing and stretching) and my exercise ball. I am inspired by you, Lady Rose.

I am very picky about the weather - can't be to hot, can't be to cold - so I usually use my stationary bike. Lady Rose (70ish lost so far, 70ish more to go!)

I know a lot of my colleagues from my last job read it and I was too embarrassed to put my diet on it. But feel free to take a look : http://librariann.wordpress.com Note that any food comments I make died out at around the time I started my diet (5 weeks ago) - trying to cook interesting food, with fresh ingredients, that are low-calorie AND appeal to my young man - a lot of effort ! I'm trying, but at the moment, filling and healthy win out over new and interesting when it comes to meals ! Yes, but it’s not about dieting !

I lost 2lbs this week too - am very relieved as I had a bad day Sunday (could NOT stop eating). 3lbs a week weight loss is a lot to keep up. Are you sure you want to aim that high ? If you were much heavier, it may be easier, but as you're not that overweight, it will be a lot more difficult. Just be careful ! Congratulations !

You think that just an apple for lunch will help? Ugh. So does it count that I ate baked eggs w/cream and butter this morning with toast, jam, and mascarpone?
