Well its not so much what I am doing just that I am doing it.  Getting off my rump and moving is a huge step.  After all watching t.v. is so convenient.  Actually my job really keeps me moving.  I work about 50 hours a week and am on my feet constantly.  I have about 80 people that I supervise so I am always moving.  That combined with watching what I eat has made a huge difference.  I no longer drink Pepsi and switched to whole grain breads when I do eat them.  Adding at least one gigantic salad daily and lots of fruits to my diet is the other thing that is helping.  Like I said I still have more to lose and I am not giving up.  One of these years Shannon WILL get married and I want to look good at her wedding. Believe me my willpower is not as strong as you think.  Everyday is a struggle.  But I am going to keep at it.
