Now down to 235 lbs, and I am so happy. 2 pounds lost this week just motivates me to keep going for another 2 pounds next week.

Something for the Fellahs! 10 Easy Ways to Lose Weight Without Starving
10 Easy Ways to Lose Weight Without Starving
1. Always Eat a Man's Breakfast
No more Lucky Charms—you want some protein and fat. Scrambled eggs and a few sausage links will keep you fuller longer than an airy doughnut will.
2. Eat More!
We're talking three good snacks and three healthful meals. But what do you serve during the bowl game if you can't have chips and dip? Mixed nuts—especially almonds—will satisfy your craving for something crunchy while helping to build muscle.
3. Just Say No to Starches
Foods like pasta, white bread, and potatoes make you fat. If you must have pasta, make yours whole-wheat. Same goes for bread, and swap white potatoes for sweet potatoes. Just don't eat too much!
4. Lift Weights
Yes, you have to hit the gym, and no, lifting beer cans during happy hour doesn't count. The muscles you build will not only improve your performance, they'll stoke your metabolism so you burn calories long after your workout is over.
5. Think Before You Eat
Don't just stuff your face with the stale cookies left over from the holidays, eat what tastes good and what's good for you. Take your time eating; you'll stay fuller longer.
6. But Have Fun Once in a While—or Once a Week
Stifle those cravings for too long, and you'll be miserable and might fall off your new plan forever. Just splurge reasonably—two slices of pizza, not the whole thing.
7. Go Low-Carb
It's the easiest way to drop weight fast. The cravings are hard at first, but it gets easier—especially when you see the results.
8. Run Intervals
It's easier to alternate between hard and easy running instead of going for a long run—especially if you don't like running. Plus, you'll be done faster and burn more fat.
9. Never, Ever Drink Sweetened Soda
But go ahead, have a glass of wine now and then. Low-carb beer is fine, too, in moderation.
10. Don't Fear Fat
It makes you feel full, helps control your appetite, and your body needs it.

Wii Fit vs Wii Fitness Coach Core Rhythms
Wii Fit vs. Wii Fitness Coach. I really like both of these games, watch the video as I compare the 2. THey both have great features and different features. Wii Fit costs a little more but the whole family can use it. Also, I saw an infomercial for Core Rhythms and that looks like fun too. I might get it in May.
Weigh in Part 2 I lost a Pound This Week
I lost 1 pound but really I think more than that because it is that fabulous female time and I usually gain a few pounds of water, you know what I mean? But anyway, I will take a 11b weight loss. So I think a weekly weigh in is a good thing.
