You wrote, "Part of what has been holding me back from posting on here is that I don’t feel like I have anything to say."

But John, that's exactly the definition of a blog. Don't let a little thing like that hold you back. *wink*

Keep up the good work.

LOL, aint that the truth!

Write about your life as it relates to your weight. (which is pretty much everything) Sometimes the best posts start out as a simple small idea or thought and just expands from there.

I'll keep reading as I can relate to a lot of what you write about.

Good luck on the Vacation, just enjoy it and relax. You've got 360 other days to work on your weight

Thanks Steve. I may actually bring my workout clothes, I haven't decided yet. They do have a small gym and my wife is not an early morning person, so I could get in some exercise every day. I am close to deciding to do it.

As long as you don't let us all act like Kramer and crash your place, eat your food, etc. I think it'll be fun. Life gets in the way and sometimes that's what makes the best posts.

Ah what the hell, you are all welcome. I'll lay out some virtual cereal for everyone.

Good post. I've been there many times in the past when me and the wife have gone out to eat. I started good but couldn't finish the same way. I say enjoy your vacation and you'll come back recharged. Have fun!

Thanks Joe – I'm really planning to. I'm not bringing my Blackberry, I'm telling you that.

something I started doing was not trying to be an expert at weight loss, which I am definitely not. Thats the whole point of blogging about trying to lose the weight. when I have nothing to say I dont say it, when I do, I say it.

make this blog whatever you want it to be. write about whatever you want to write about and dont try to be anything to anyone. its worked for me…

Thanks for the reminder Israel. I'm no expert either but hopefully even so people can learn from me. Right now, mostly you can learn about what NOT to do!

Sometimes it's good to take a step back and look at the why's and what's and how's of your blogging AND weight loss.

I've been doing the same this week, myself.

Not only sometimes but I'm beginning to think it just needs to be a part of the routine.

I can relate to your eating out episode. My mom lives with my me and my husband. When we go out to eat, she always says they give her too much and ends up taking 3/4 of her dinner and putting it on our plates. Of course, I hate wasting food when I've paid a pretty penny for it……so I eat it. Ugh….I go home stuffed and mad at myself for eating so much.

Hope you have a great time on your vacation. I look forward to hearing about your trip.

I think we got raised not to waste food and to know the value of a dollar – I have the same problem. I recently read a blog posting on sunk costs that are related to that situation, I need to find that…

I'm not sure what frame of mind you have to be in too succeed at dieting. But I'm not there either, and it's been a long time.

Let's figure that out together!

Seinfeld is my favourite show and this has always been one of my favourite blogs so lets see how we go!

Mine too – just recently got through Season 8 on DVD. Even though I have seen them all dozens of times.

Glad to see you're back at it. I look forward to reading more of your nothing!

Thanks Roder, I'm sure going to try! Let me know when I am boring you though.
