<p>If you all prefer, we can also just have one long thread rather than a new one each week.  Just let me know.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today's weigh in: 107</p>
<p>Starting weight: 108.6</p>
<p>Total lost: 1.6</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was surprised.  I wonder if it it'll sneak back up a bit over the week.  I was good last week, but not 4500 calories good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I tend to start each week really well, and then slowly start to let things slide by the end of the week.  I'm keeping the goals of no eating after dinner and minimal liquid calories.  I'm also adding no swiping the kids' halloween candy.</p>

<p>  I haven't weighed in yet..may not do it weekly- it doesn't change much .. yet ! But I do feel way better - stronger and more able to do stuff at  boot camp. Also asthma problems have subsided  (related to what I am not sure but will take that any time ,, I have been messing with it for months now!)  and joints feel pretty good..</p>
<p>   I am aiming at breakfast and lunch again this week - keeping it healthy, eliminating the bread and simple carbs and bringing in more veggies.  Hard to do at school where I eat on the run or on duty but I am bringing smaller portions and breaking it into 2 - part at school at 12:30 and part at home at 2:50 or so.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>  Keep at it !</p>

<p>Tech Tee - I am sorry to hear that your knee is bothering you. Hang in there. Do you have a custom made brace or is an over the counter type? I have one of both i use for when I climb/hike on occasion.. and they are definitely annoying - yet I need them so - we do what we must eh?  Hope you can get it to work for you.</p>

<p>  I am posting pretty late ..but my confession is that I fall apart at night and eat way to many snackie things ! Agh.  Why do I do this?  I eat pretty well all day but then after   7 or so when  dinner is done and there's time to stop for a while and relax..  But then I KNOW I  feel bored - TV is stupid and I don't have the energy to start a big project  and I end up eating 2 or 3 snacks with my tea. ....  Agh I can be my own worst enemy !</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>  SO for this week that is my focus..  to make a choice for something more filling at dinner and end the need to eat by  7 each night.   To keep me honest- I'll check in here each night!  </p>

<p> Going to bed.. BUT  I made it - Finished all food by 7:30. I had a cup of tea after. I did exercise bike  then some of the band exercises and stretches from boot camp.  Yea.   I am  conquering 'The Night!" .. today .</p>

<p>Tech  tee- your  recipe sounds good.   My Dh doesn't like celery much either  so I don't put much in most soups etc.    One kid doesn't like beans so I use  pink lentils which are smaller and easier to "dissappear" into the soup!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>  I haven't made the no food after 7;30 test the past two nights... yet I still am okay with it as  Wednesday was a budget hearing in town that blabbed on till almost  9:30 and I never had eaten dinner.. so I ate that and went to bed. Last night we ate early but I succumbed to a bowl of shredded wheat at  10;30 - I felt hungry. SO in all my "boredom" eating has been out the past 3 nights .. which I'll take for a start.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I got us a Wii finally and  it looks like it will be a fun way to keep moving at  home on non- boot camp days.</p>
