The hardest part is getting through that first week of just sticking with both the diet and exercise... it gets easier. You'll see results and that'll just make you want to stick it out more for even more results! Keep me posted on your progress. I'll be one of your cheerleaders! ^_^<br /><br />kufiliefunsho: Thanks for stopping by and for the information on the weight loss supplement. Right now I'm doing it the good old fashioned way with exercise and portion control, but thanks for the info. <br /><br />BRANDY: If you're already eating healthy foods then you nailed it with "portion control and what he eats when he's NOT home." That's essentially all I've done, too, since I already cook healthfully at home. Portion control being the biggest change, followed by wiser snack and treat choices. I'm being really careful about limiting higher fat foods like salad dressings, cheese, baked goods and red meat. Notice I didn't list ice cream LOL. <br /><br />It's really hard to eat well when you're eating out. Even my favorite salads at Panera have over 500 calories! :(Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-82927665319242822722010-07-03T01:00:24.789-04:002010-07-03T01:00:24.789-04:00Wow, Christine, you are awesome...

It's great.... and I hope I didn't sound too preachy in my post. I just keep thinking that if I can do it, anyone can and maybe they just need some friendly, upbeat encouragement to get going! <br /><br />ORANNIA: Thank you, darling. YOU were actually one of my inspirations in the last several months. I remember you mentioning seeing a nutritionist to eat healthier and lose some weight and then poof! You did it and I was still the same. I was jealous of your success and wanted it for me, too! So thank you. xoxo<br /><br />DRU: There's no better time than today to get started, right? You can do it! You already started your walking group, that's a step. Now start adding more walking days to your schedule and on weekends get out there and double your miles! You can do it!!! Of course, discuss with your doctor first to make sure. :) <br /><br />LORI: Thank you!!! :D <br /><br />HILS: Thanks, honey! You were another inspiration to make some dietary changes. Well, you, Natalie and Mariana from the time we got together and talked about eating healthier in general. I realized I knew what to do, but I had to just do it! <br /><br />KB: Thank you! I hoped I could have you over for lunch before you left for RomCon, but things have been busy here. I'm so sorry. Let's make a date when you get back. xo<br /><br />MARY G: Thank you! :) I hope it doesn't get that much harder from here... <br /><br />BRANDY: as with any change to diet and exercise, it is easier to do it in small steps so that you don't feel too overwhelmed, unhappy or discouraged. Maybe just start by updating his favorite recipes to healthier versions, and then add a few new recipes each week on top of that. CookingLight magazine is a great resource. I could mail you some of my old issues that I don't use anymore? Send me an email if you'd like them. :) <br /><br />Have a fantastic weekend everyone! :DChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-11521365816266416482010-07-02T14:21:24.290-04:002010-07-02T14:21:24.290-04:00Congratulations Christine!
