WOW it is the last week of June already! Have you noticed that winter never goes as fast as summer? :)

Please join in our weekly weigh-in.

Share your weekly weigh-in once a week either from your weigh-in day last week or this coming week. If you feel uncomfortable posting your actual weight just post the pounds lost or gained.

As for myself - I had a great week with the exercise! Reward is feeling energized and walking taller! Has anyone else noticed how different your body feels as results to exercise?

Weekly Tip: What if you are good only part of the time on your weight loss journey? What if you have 5 great days every week, is that good enough? If you cheat will it cause you to fail?

1. You will gain 1 pound in a year if you eat 10 calories a day more than your body burns. (About 1 extra Hostess Twinkie* every two weeks.)

2. You will gain 2 pounds in a year if you eat 20 calories a day more than your body burns. (About 1 extra Hostess Twinkie every week.)

3. You will gain 5 pounds in a year if you eat 45 calories a day more than your body burns. (About 1 two-pack of Hostess Twinkies every week.)

4. You will gain 8 pounds in a year if you eat 75 calories a day more than your body burns. (About 1 extra Hostess Twinkie every other day.)

5. You will gain 15.5 pounds in a year if you eat 150 calories a day more than your body burns. (About 1 extra Hostess Twinkie every day.)

One single day off program can easily add enough calories to push your average calories per day far higher than 10 or even 150 calories per day for your week. And that means you will gain weight
