Start By Paying Attention to What You EatFrom Dr. Robin Miller
 Today's Tipfrom Dr. Robin:Eating protein with every meal makes you feel full and satisfied. But you still need to make healthy choices: grilled chicken, lean beefs, low-calorie yogurt, and cheeses.
Today's Message: You all did very well on our first day! Some were better eaters than others, but that is OK. It is the act of writing down what you eat that really helps. Please don't beat yourself up if you splurged, ate your kids leftovers, or enjoyed a gourmet meal out with your friends. Just think about what you ate, what you would like to eat, and what is going to work for you. The goal is to become fit and lose weight. Many of you should try adding more fiber to your diet -- it will help you to feel full. Ground flaxseed is a good choice because it may help prevent breast cancer and is cheap and easy. Make sure you store it in the freezer if you buy it already ground.
I am glad to see you are still eating turkey sandwiches for breakfast CarolT! SallyWhite, you are starting off very well, and Clarissa, you have made some good changes! Welcome back Bathing Suit Boot Campers and welcome to all our new campers! I think we are all in for a wild and fun ride! Write down the following:

dinner at book group: cheese, crackers, grapes, cookies. not good.
Posted: Nov 17, 07 8:17am
So I fell off the wagon as a consequence of two trips to places famous for their delicious fattening food and also throwing caution to the winds and drinking regular beer instead of lite. Result: I have gained 6 pounds, and heading into Thanksgiving holidays. So I am starting again today, as of 11:30 because I already had bread and honey for breakfast which was not exactly on target. But next is lunch, so I plan to do better.
Posted: Nov 17, 07 8:43am
Congrats for hopping back on the wagon Ann! You can do it!

I just started working full time again and am having real trouble with the fact that I sit at a desk, staring at a computer screen ALL DAY LONG. I feel like my metabolism has come to a crashing halt. It is a serious drag...
Posted: Oct 23, 07 8:45pm
Colby - glad you're joining us! As for the sitting all day... uhg, I'm having the same problem. Dr. Robin has suggested I get a pedometer so I can actually see how much I'm moving around. I'm sure it'll work... I just have to get up and go get one ;)
Posted: Oct 23, 07 8:45pm
Many days I sit at a computer all day, so I set an alarm twice a day, and when it goes off, I get up and go for a ten minute walk which includes jogging up and down five flights of stairs.
I used to feel guilty that I wasn't working during that period, but then I realized there are people who take cigarette breaks and are unproductive for longer than 20 minutes.

Posted: Oct 24, 07 7:35am
The Halloween candy which leads into the sweet potato pie which is a lead in to holiday parties topped off by New Year's Eve - I think that's probably why Dr. Robin and the tbd staff thought to do this challenge now. Just think - if you didn't have to write it down and report it here, you might hae had 2 Milky Way's instead of 1.
