I'm in!!! I just got the datebook too. Plan to start using it in earnest on Monday 10/20. I'll take another look at week 1 and post goals and such later. You can see my Old Fan new member post for more details.
for me, the best thing I got from all of KD's books was her refreshing attitude. her sense of humor is infectious and for me, it is better not to take myself too seriously about all of this.
when the student is ready, the teacher appears!
Goals: 1. Stop thinking like a chronic dieter and start living to inspire. 2. HALT (hungry, anxious, lonely, tired) I will stop and tune in with myself should I experience these things, and respond with something healthy. 3. One word 2008: courage 4. Eat slow and mindfully.
I have the daybook but don't actually follow it day by day. Actually I have all of her books . I don't seem to do very well on a regimented plan (even if it is KD ). I prefer to do my own thing but I do follow her ideas of "baby steps', "moderation not elimination" and "good, better, best" choices. I watched her when she was on Food Network and taped all of her shows and I have the PBS special DVD.
When KD was doing Cooking Thin on Food Network Pamela Peeke was a regular guest. I read her book "Fat Fight After Forty" and used her metabolism formula to determine how many calories I should consume. I have it posted here on the board and keep it bumped to the top (along with our Member Introductions) at the beginning of every month (if I don't forget ).
"My own thing" consists of logging my food and exercise on fitday.com. I pretty much eat whatever I want as long as I stay within my self-imposed calorie range.
For exercise I go to Curves 3 days a week and walk on the indoor track at the Y 5-7 days a week.
This board is incredible for support, encouragement and problem solving.

hi meixy, i did do the 52 week plan in 2004 and 2005. that was a great launching pad for me. now, what i use is the board. i was posting my exercise and eating, and then i figured out that my stress eating and weekend bingeing were my main problems. so i pretty much stopped posting in the exercise areas since i love fitness and working out too much. and i consistently posted my food plan, and how i went off plan, etc. now, i feel like my weekend eating is pretty much stable and i have really gotten a lot out of others postings. over the years, i post on the Board as needed. would love to read your posts and share in your journey! keep posting!
