Losing weight is like cutting your lawn with those safety scissors they gave you in kindergarten. Sure, you can make some progress in one area (exercising), but as soon as you turn around your diet is overwhelmingly overgrown. Even worse, like those dull snub-nosed scissors, your own body can go through phases where it absolutley rejects what you are trying to do.
In today's non-fat super skim designer coffee world, everyone knows how to lose weight. Simply intake less calories than you use. Drink 8 or more glasses of water a day, eat at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies, eat only lean meats, take a multivitamin. This is the "miracle" advice we pay billions for each year. And yet most of us are at least clinically "overweight."
In this blog, I'm intend to track my progress up the treacherous slope of the gumdrop mountains and through the molasses swamp. I hope you will join me, and maybe every once in a while reply to a post to help me through.

Can't wait to read more.
I have heard that while losing weight, you should drink one-half of your body weight in ounces of water.
(For example: A 200 lb person, would drink 100 ounces of water per day.)
That spinning class last night should give you something to write about! ;-)
Miriam - That's a really great idea for a posting....(BTW nice to "see" you.)
