Going on Vacation--Need advice!
I am going on a three day weekend get-a-way and I am trying to decide whether or not I should keep counting calories or if I should just "blow it" this weekend.

Struggling with motivation!
I think now that the weather is improving and I'm working on other areas in my life, things might change. For now, however, I'm finding it VERY HARD to want to get up and move my body. I have been an emotional eater for so long that it's second nature and I'm not sure how to break the cycle. Yesterday I had a bad day and I…

Quitting the Scale.....
I have found, since Banks posted the "no weigh" challenge, that "quitting the scale" is more difficult than quitting smoking (I've not smoked since Feb. 20th and haven't cheated once!)! I also made the decision to not drink alcohol for at least a month, since having a discussion with some of you this weekend! BUT, do you…
