Thanks, Bren, for the good info!  It sounds like you do all the right things.  On any given day, I do some of the right things, but I'm inconstent.  Right now I'm doing pretty well with the food, not so good with the IE.  I'm joining the Y today (waited till Oct 1 because of a special this month; they're waiving the registration fee, which will save us about $90), and I've made a schedule for myself.  It's equal parts swimming, workout room (which could be weights, treadmill, or bike), and playing with the kids.  A day off is also built in.  If I stick with what I've got written down, I should make progress!

Mary, I'm so glad things are going well for you.  My daughter said that once she started taking her ADD medication, she stopped eating out of boredom.  I think that's because she can now focus on things she likes to do:  drawing, reading, dancing, etc.  She also takes karate, and I always noticed that during class, even before she started the medication, she was very focused.

Anita and everyone else, hello and I hope you're all having a great day!
