Anyone want to get into shape this summer?

Ok, I have been lurking in this thread on and off long enough!!!

My name is Sue...and I am a junkfoodaholic!!!!!

Haven't read all 25 pages yet, but I've seen quit a few good pointers.

I am going to try slim fast shakes (again) I like them because I cannot make good food choices if I have to cook something.

I have several exercise tapes, but hate working out alone. My favorite is "Bodies in motion" Guess I'll drag it back out

Good luck all

Yes, with cream cheese. And it was really good cream cheese too

Mysteriously, I'm getting an intense urge to run to NY Bagels here in town for my lunch break....

I used to work at an office that had bagels & cream cheese delivered every Tuesday morning. I used to be able to have two or three loaded bagels at a time. I used to snack on crackers by the hundreds (out of boredom at my jobs mostly).

Now I'm 47 and realize that snacking on salty crackers and multiple bagels non-stop is going to send me into permanent, irretrievable Frumpland before I'm 50.

It's taken a long time, but I've gotten out of the habit of thoughtless carb snacking. Only young folks can get away with it - cold hard truth. (Doesn't it make you just crazy when you see some young skinny thing chowing down on a giant bag of chips?!)

(I do have a bagel when I'm on vacation though - I'm not stupid!)

been dying to get on here all day,,,,

Scramble egg, thank you for the compliment, but all of these people deserve the credit also. You are so sweet. I wish there were a magical pill. I would have taken it a LONG time ago. Get a full length mirror. I only had one at my vanity in bath room. I only saw myself from the front and from the waist up. Got a good look at myself from the side and full length,,,,it wasn't pretty, but it was a wake up call.

critter hill....There is no way I could have resisted pizza and bagles with c. cheese. if everyone is eating it. yummmmmm
I put on a lot of weight at my last job. We worked for a specialist and reps. like to cater. We'd have food 3-5 times a week. Not just the dull stuff either. I'm talking GREAT stuff. Once we had a chocolate fondue tower. OH MAN!!!

To you new folkes, join in and we'll all help each other. I know the girls here have been a great help in my own motivation.

Well, I have to report partial success. I did have a bagel, but I bailed right before lunch and worked from home the rest of the day, so I avoided the evil free pizza beast.

Our chicks are 8 weeks old now and out in the coop. The run is all-but-roof. So I let them out into the run when I am home, but we have so many hawks, I can't let them out without supervision yet. So there was a double excuse to work from home this afternoon!

I will be running around like crazy for the next two days to get ready for DD's birthday party Saturday, so I expect to have pretty good success this weekend (except for the leftover cake...)

Mmmmm, chocolate fondue tower.... drooool....
