Hi Chaz, thanks for taking the time to write all that! Your words are very encouraging to me. Thanks for the ideas about recipes and managing different times that I eat certain foods.
Congrats on all the accomplishments you've had! Having gone up and down in my weight, I know how hard it is to accomplish what you have, so way to go!
I do really like going to the gym - but my problem is getting myself there! Once I am there, I have fun and feel amazing when I leave - but I need to work harder to force myself to go (because it's so much easier to drive home after work to lounge on the couch, right?? ) When I go to the gym, I use the bike, the elyptical, and the treadmill (20 minutes of each). The other day, I learned how to use the weight machines (and my arms and butt hurt like h*LL the next day!) The gym has been a benefit, but right now my eating is still terrible, so I'm not sure it's making a difference. So my biggest challenge is getting past the fantasizing about food and "living, eating, and breathing" food.

Thanks again for your support - I look forward to corresponding more with you.
