I've still been stuck at 220 lbs for about 3 weeks now. I have slacked a little bit and that's probably why. At least I haven't gained any back. My son said he would start walking with me (I hate walking the county roads alone) so maybe that will help. It's easy to get discouraged, but I'm sure it's my fault being stuck here. I'll just have to be extra careful and do that walking. I just can't get motivated to walk on the treadmill. I'm sure walking outside will be much better. Hope the rest of you are doing good on your weightloss.

This is a great new forum and wonderful idea. Thanks Admin!!

Today will be my third weigh in at Jenny Craig. On my scale this am I am at a total weight loss of 10 lbs since I started. I have been consistent with exercizing but last week I have cheated pretty badly.

I need to re-focus and visualize all that I want when I drop this weight and keep telling myself that it will happen. I pretty much have figured out that I cannot be strong when I go out to dinner. So, until then I need to remain eating at home only.

I recently just found this magazine called The Best Of Cooking Light. 123 of the year's greatest recipies.

What is amazing is that EVERY recipe in this book is something Id want to cook. Id love to share some of the recipe's with any of you who are interested. So what I will do is list some of the foods below. If you want the recipe just let me know and I will post them in the recipe section.

The following are just some examples. Of course I can't type out all 123 recipes, LOL

Blue Cheese and Beef Roll-Ups
Peppered Steak w/ Horseradish-Chive Cream
Pork Chops w/ Country Gravy
Pineapple Teriyaki Salmon
Vornmeal-Crusted Catfish

Most all of those sound really good. Sure wish I liked to cook.... I think that is part of my weight loss problem too. Oh I love veggies, cooked or raw, but I don't cook much that doesn't come from a box or frozen. I'm more for fast and easy than taking my time fixing something and then having to clean up the mess. Don't think I don't ever cook, please. I do, but not every evening.
