I concentrate on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and vegetables . . . and Diet Coke with Lime. 
I started an exercise streak two months ago . . . I exercise every single day. I alternate between using my exercise bike at home and weight training at the YMCA (where I also run).
Writing my blog has been a key factor in my success. I have support, plus accountability. Blogging did for me what no other diet ever could.

I agree about blogging...it has made all the difference for me.
You rock!!!

1. Rewarding myself for exercise with prizes.
2. Old fashioned or quick outs keeps me full

10.25.06 | Larue commented: Wow, congratulations on the weight loss Mel. i just found this site and am very interested. I too can use extra support and information on health related matters. I stopped eating white bread and potatoes and sugar almost a year ago. Wheat breads/Organic & pasta's. 2 cups of fruit a day and 4 c of veggies a day. I've also started walking on my hour long lunches(2nd shift) and on both of my breaks. I clmb the stairs at home 1x daily(basement-14 steps, upstairs first landing to top floor-13 steps), which is up and down 1 full set. I do weights at night when I get home, 20 minutes on 10 lbs with my leg weights and 20 lbs on arms. Try jumping jacks with those. OMG...That'll tone those arms. I do pilates in the mornings for 20 minutes. The weights with the strength seem to be Very SLOWLY working. about 2 lbs a week on average.
