	1.5 lbs a week will get me to my goal weight by Jan 1 next year!!!

BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND POSITIVE!!!	NicC -that is a great one. My family goes camping a lot too. I always feel like I eat ok (never as good as home!) but then when I get home to my scale- it says otherwise. Do you have this same problem? I wondered if I am not drinking enough water? The last two times we have went I was sure to bring lots of fresh fruit and veggies and for some reason I was still up a couple pounds when we came home. We went hiking a lot and biking.???? Where is your favorite place to camp??

New Gurly - I agree maybe not drinking enough water. Exercise was enough (playing in water, walking up and down dunes, even going to bathroom was a 10 min round trip). We were camping on Lake Huron. Thanks Cherriterri! Edited by NicC, Jul 5 2008, 10:59 AM.

To be as healthy as I can be w/ having MS and to weigh between 140-144 pounds!	Camping is so much fun... I have not been for years though This is an awesome goal... swimsuits tend to make us try even harder, LOL... what I do is when I have a goal for the day I will be wearing my suit, I try it on and look at myself full mirror to actually visually see what I need to accomplish helps a bit in the motivation department!

We finally went shopping - bought fruit (fresh and frozen), veggies, cottage cheese, yoghurt etc.

Step aerobics, spin class, muscle sculpt, walking Healthy Lifestyle Goal? Currently, to continue to improve my eating habits, and lose the 10lbs i gained back recently!	Sounds great, and best of luck living the healthy life for the next few weeks! You bought some great foods that should help you accomplish your goals. And it is way too difficult to eat well when camping Especially when one brings along a bush pie maker. Oh my. Hopefully you know what i am talking about...makes delicious foods.
