I hereby make a pledge to all in AS3 to train every day at least 30
minute with a view to getting rid of the weight I gained during my
quit.

Good on you Chris.

Do you have someone close to you in your offline life to hold you
accountable to that aim? That would help.

A food diary would be brilliant too. I'm of the belief that most of our
weight gain comes from 'unconscious eating' - eating without paying close
attention to what we're eating, how much, or even the fact that we're
eating.

All the best. We're with you.

Cheers
Dave

Chris, I lost 30 pounds last year (2009) by falling down and breaking
my wrist in 3 places. I had a splint on my arm that kept my elbow
rigid so I couldn't lift a fork to my mouth with my right hand. So
eating was difficult as well as cooking. I do not recommend this as a
weight loss measure. Only as an observation. But now I am determined
not to gain it back again. That might be more difficult than losing
it was.

Also, I have eliminated certain things from my life: most sweets
(except for tiny bits of chocolate), any kind of alcohol, no beer, no
wine, no hard stuff. Fortunately I love apples; I really do eat an
apple every day. And I use small plates and bowls. No heaping
portions of anything. This may not work for everyone, but it sure
worked for me. Some years ago, I tried keeping a food diary that I
found on the internet, including daily forms to fill out with the
amounts and the calorie counts for everything I ate. That got to be
very boring very quickly.

I wish I could do the kind of strenuous exercise that I used to do,
including weight training and lots of walking. Not possible anymore.

It's nice to be able to wear clothing that I had stuffed into the back
of my closet and almost forgotten about.

Rock on, Joyce.
Fine example.
