That is my goal. Weight Loss. So, if I have given up fried foods, fast foods, cakes, candy, alcohol, cigarettes, and lazy ass on the couch, etc. It will not KILL me to cont to drink 2 diet sodas and not deprive myself of EVERYTHING I love all at once.

I certainly agree that Diet Sodas should eventually be cycled out of our lives. However, I haven't begun to cut out ALL preservatives, ALL processed foods just yet. I"m working on a day to day basis of weight loss. My goal is not necessarily to get healthier (while this is certainly a side effect of weight loss) for now it's just to get smaller. I want to wear sexy clothes. I want to be able to run around and do things easier.

I'm not saying that everyone shoud have the same view as me. I know this may not be only reason I have to lose weight but for me....right now....I want to LOOK better. That is my motivation, that is my goal.

So Diet Sodas have no calories, no carbs, and only a small portion of my daily sodium. I drink 1-3 a week. And No, I won't be giving those up right now.

*nod*

Oh, no...no....no! I was just commenting on a post, Candace, not saying "drop it now!"

Girrrrrl, I've got too much going on with myself to jump all over someone else. I just know that I know some valuable shit that I've picked up over the years. Not that I've always put it into practice, but I KNOW it. That's got to count for SOMEthing, right?

I still have some diet sodas in the garage too. I wasn't judging you.

I love it cause

it totals my minutes
it estimates calories burned
it weighs/does BMI every time you get on it
it tracks it all on a nice little chart
Bare FOOT oh yes oh yes
in the jammies yippie
no having to shower to go out in public just so you can exercise and shower again!!!!!!!
you can add and track other exercise you do (like shoveling LOL)
it keeps track of how you do on each exercise so you can see your actual progress and it means that you can not over or under estimate what you have done or not

And ami is now the OFFICIAL Wii Fit promotions person. If these aren't enough reasons to get one, I don't know what is!
