Update, so nothing was working. Sparkspeople wasn't helping. Just plain old watching it wasn't working. Weight watchers wasn't working. Finally about 1.5 weeks ago I was sharing my frustration with the hubbz and he suggested I try South Beach. I was very skeptical because I have tried it in the past and I can't really handle being without sugar like that but I thought its worth trying. So in 10 days I have lost SIX pounds. Wow. The thing I appreciate the most is getting rid of the sugar itch. I really don't have shakes anymore for sugar or anyting like that. I admit I do have a teaspoon in the morning in my tea but that's it. The key is to keep losing though and to not quickly gain it back once I get off the intense phase.

I also decided to along with a few of my classmates run for the Brast Cancer race for the cure 5K which is motivating me to run every day for reasons other than a slimmer waistline. That is really helping the motivation of working out. To have an end result to shoot for.

So finally something good to share :)
