    Welcome! Share ur daily or weekly successes. Reach out for a hand if u hit a tough patch. This is about shifting our habits n choices to healthier ones. So we dont have to do this again!

    Starting a bit late, but I'm in too!

    This matches my own goal as well, to get to lose at least 8 more by end of year.

    I would like to see what people have to say. I have a very trying time coming up. My 65th birthday is the 23rd, and I am retiring on the 28th. So far I have 3 dinners and an office party lined up! I find I can get sidetracked fast in these situations. I am doing the search the restaurant menu and pick what to have in advance, and just try to keep my goals in mind. I have about 50 pounds to lose.

    @bbeck990 Happy Birthday! Congratulations on the upcoming retirement! AND even more importantly Congratulations for being on this journey! We had a luncheon yesterday. Pulled pork, potato salad, the works. I used my little plastic fork instead of the Big Dipper to serve a small portion of the items I REALLY wanted. I took a cupcake but wrapped it up "for later" (still haven't eaten it). I was satiated but not gorged and it sustained me through the afternoon and well into the evening. After class (held at an Irish Pub!) (~830pm) I was getting hungry so I had an apple w bit of peanut butter. This is really cool since usually I would pile up my plate then graze the rest of the afternoon on leftovers and eat a cupcake or two!

    If you're going to a restaurant then ask for the to-go box when you order and box at least 1/2 up right away. I've done this a few times recently and it's been great. You get to enjoy the meal twice AND keep control of your portions. Also ask for any dressings or sauces on the side if you can. NOT ONCE has anyone giving me any slack about these requests. You might have to repeat your request because they're aren't expecting it but they'll comply.

    Thanks, I'm going to try the box idea. I've never done that one before.
