Hi!

I'm 28 and struggling with those last pounds, too - I live 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto in cottage country, and the idea of the 24th of May weekend and bikini season has me newly motivated!

Did your cheating budge the scale at all? That's happened to me a few times. Not sure if it's just water weight though.

My goals:

Loose last 6 pounds in the next two months
Loose 1 inch off each inner thigh (now there's a life-long dream!)
Add weight training to my fitness routine
Cut alcohol down to 1-2 drinks a week.

My favourite cheat has become the Sublime Truffles from the new Low Carb Comfort Food cookbook - and it's not too bad for a cheat! I modified the recipe so that each one is 1 carb - but man, it tastes like 10! Hopefully those little 'treats' at the end of the night help me stay on track.

Kristine, what kind of resistance training do you do? I'm too far away from any gym to go out, but I am trying to add stuff at home.
