Exactly! It is so good that people stare at me because of the sounds I make while eating it. Have you had it?

It looks too good to eat ....

It tastes absolutely wonderful.

I've been in Vienna seven times; including on my honeymoon (way back) and always returned with a huge box of these lovely chocolates and also a bottle of Mozartkugelnchocolatebrandy.

Hooray for you !!! And congratulations

Keep up the good work!

I've only lost 3 pounds so far (in 3 weeks), but at least I can comfort myself with the thought that I'm building muscle again with all the running I've been doing.

Me too, it's really hard for me not to eat chocolate while I'm dieting. These are my favourites:

Congrats on the weight loss; the muscle you build up with running weighs relatively a lot, but burns calories even when you' re resting.

THANK YOU! My swimsuit bottom is beginning to slip around a bit, and those are the where the sorest muscles reside. I will be soooooo happy to need a smaller size suit.

DixieGal · 01-27-2011, 02:37 PM

By the way, if you do a lot of water aerobics, like me, these suits last forever. I get the higher neck suits because they have lots of support to stop the girls from popping out.

Yep, that's why I'm going to start measuring as well. I don't lose weight fast, 0.5 kg in a week is pretty much an average result. But it's better than nothing right

It is delicious, Belgium's finest if you ask me. It's fun to live in Belgium sometimes, as everyone knows Belgian chocolate is the best in the world

True, Leonidas chocolate; yum.

Still fat! I guess I have to try if I really want to lose weight. But all the exercise I do makes me want to eat more.

montsnmags · 01-27-2011, 09:23 PM

Yesterday I bought a 15.88kg (35lb) bag of dog food, coincidentally on the very same day I measured exactly that amount of weight loss since starting to eat better and be more physical/outdoors (mid-October last year). It's my second major goal, and leaves me 6.7kg (14.8lb) from my ultimate goal.

Unfortunately our bikes are in for their "first service" today, so I can't go riding (we topped just over 500km total travel the day before). We might go for longish walk sarvo though.

Downside: none of my regular pants fit, nor some of my shirts, and that's going to cost me dollars. Upside: the "goal jeans" I've kept for many years now only just fit, but on the "slightly too large" side.

Still a ways to go, but its good to be on the downhill run (or ride).

Cheers,
Marc

This is my objection to people who push exercise as the way to lose weight. It works really well, so long as you also, in some way, eat less than you want to.

So why not skip the exercise and go straight to the second step?

If I feel a bit hungry just before lunch, and a bit hungry just before dinner, and go to bed feeling that I could manage a snack, then I'm doing things right.

If, however, I eat more, and snack, so that I don't ever feel hungry throughout the day, and feel slightly more than satisfied after meals, then I'm doing things wrong.

And how's my weight loss going? Well, I've /still/ got six to seven pounds to go. Another couple of months, hopefully.

In my experience, a combination of the two gives the best result. Meaning: you lose weight because you eat less and because you burn calories working out, but you'll also notice getting slimmer because you build muscle. But I totally agree with you: exercising but not eating right doesn't help you lose weight.

And oh, when I first starting dieting I had to eat more than I was used to. So I've haven't had more hunger during the day than I before I started dieting.

CONGRATULATIONS ON MEETING SO MAY GOALS!!!

Your story about the "goal" pants reminded me of Tim last evening. As we were walking and running, his baggy underpants fell down inside his pants.

We stopped by Walmart on the way home and got him new drawers. He is down from 2X to L. YAY!!
