I have to thank you for pointing me to sparkpeople. I've lost 8 pounds so far. Far more importantly to me, I had to go buy a new pair of jeans because the size 12s that I had didn't fit anymore. So,that's now a size 10. Woohoo!!!!

I'm also on a streak with my journaling and my exercise.

I'm doing exactly what my doctor told me to do with exercise and though it's not having much impact right now, I know that as I progress it will start to have one (I do the 8 minutes excercises one set and 10 minutes on the treadmill -- I'm adding 10 minutes a week, so eventually, I will be doing some serious walking :)).
