Lighten up, people! :)
Listen friends, it's OK to splurge on food once in a while! I'm saying this because I see way too many people on here that get so stressed out and worried about it. If it's a special occasion for you, and you're going out to eat, just ENJOY the moment and the friends and family you're with. You're NOT going to gain 5…

thoughts on diet soda?
I drink one diet coke a day. I have for years. (ok, sometimes it's a giant fountain one on the weekends) I know there's studies that say that it's bad for dieters, but logic behind that is that it causes sugar cravings. I don't eat sugar. I've learned that it messes with my blood sugar levels and I make bad choices the…

Late at night issues
I have really done well for the week I've been on my weight loss program. The first day was no problem at all. But then the rest of the week I have struggled late at night. Now I have been resistant and have not inhaled the fridge. For the most part I drink lots of water. Last night, late, I had to have something so I had…

Clothes Looser but....
The scale has NOT budged? What on earth is going on here? I admit there were 3 days that I was off my own personal health waggon, but overall before that I was watching what I ate, counting calories and exercising as often as I could. I've heard you loose inches before lbs but then why to start did I loose 4lbs?
