Weight coming down 1lb at a time it appears. And oh so difficult, but, it's okay. I'd rather do this for the long haul than some fad diet thing.

Absolutely no weight gained over the Holidays from Thanksgiving to Christmas. I am proud of myself. This has been challenging and definitely worth it.

Good job guys!!! Keep me motivated please.

I think I lost one pound, but that's on two different scales, so no biggie. But one pound is indeed program BBF!

I'm starting back up yoga today, as I've missed a month or so. I'm very stiff. I'm also committing to meditation again. I've allotted a time in the evening that I'm hoping to stick to, at least for a few minutes at first.

I picked up the book "The Spectrum" by Dr. Dean Ornish, which looks good. It seems to have some o fthe latest nutrition research. http://www.amazon.com/Spectrum-Scientifically-Proven-Program-Better/dp/0345496302/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199022736&sr=1-1
