| Sarah and Chiqui:
I think I walked my ass off, literally. I started walking just a half hour each day. Now I'm up to 2 hours per day, 6 days per week. During the week I do it in four or five sessions. Three times a day I walk 15 to 20 minutes each, and during my lunch hour I walk for 50 minutes. Then, whatever's left I walk at night, or go on the dreaded eliptical machine.
I got a great MP3 player - a Zune by Dell. I love, love, love it. I listen to great music and the time passes quicker.
Popsicles have helped save my life. Sugar free, of course. I love all of them, but especially the pineapple one's.
Another trick I learned, if I feel hungry at night and want to keep eating, I just go to bed earlier than usual. Or, at least go watch tv in bed instead of being in the living room - too close to the kitchen.
Another thing, I have a great Daughter. She's in college, and stays there during the week, but comes home each weekend. If she leaves any "goodies" behind I make sure that I bring them to one of my neighbors on Monday when I get home so that I'm not tempted.
Those are a few of my tricks. Let me know when you develop some of your own. The more we share, the more success we'll all have.
