I quit doing everything after losing my Holly dog when I became depressed and then my excuse was I got to busy with my pups. I gained back 20 lbs since May and started my diet again yesterday. You should see my puppies faces watching mom on the treadmill running for an hour. It felt good. I was taught not to count calorie but to watch the types of food I ate and to eat clean. Rule number one drink 8 bottles of water a day. The foods I ate were healthy lean meats, fish, egg whites, nuts, low fat cheeses, veggies (no white potatoes), some fruit, he limited the types to apples, pears, and berries, oatmeal every morning and sweet potatoes every other day and add olive oil and coconut oil into my meals daily and the hardest thing no breads. My work out routine was cardio 6 days a week every other day free weights. I'm very disappointed in myself for going back to my old ways so count me in.

I really like your story. One thing I need to work on the most is drinking more water...I do think that is the key! Whenever I have a craving I think I will come to this forum to stay motivated. Talk to you guys tomorrow.
