I gained 5 pounds over the holidays. And it is really hard getting it off, especially since all my clothes still fit. But I know, if I don't get it off, it will be 5 next year, and 5 the year after that, . . .
My big thing is eating out. My husband and I love to eat out, but it really isn't conducive to losing weight. Once it comes off, I can eat out, but until then, I have had to turn my husband down.
On the activity front, I really fell down last year when we were remodeling. I used to run 3 miles a day, in 30 minutes, on the treadmill. I thought that was pretty good, since I am going to hit the big 6 0 in a few months. But I quit for about a month, and I am really having a hard time getting back to it. Maybe I will try the elliptical. I hate the elliptical. I used to do that for 45 minutes, and I hated it, so I did the running instead. Negative reinforcement is the only thing that works with me.
