    1Corinthians13 - great job!1 I would never have that kind of willpower. Great job to you too Kathy!
    Esther, hang in there. We have all fallen off at one point or another. You can get right back on track. There' s still plenty of time left in March for anyone to be a big winner.

    8 down, working on #9. Just finished supper and after dinner clean-up. Now I am just relaxing with the kiddies and the hubby before I go grocery shopping. I have to run to Wally World to get some cheap fabric to make a table cloth for a chinsy table I made to cover up some x-mas boxes we are forced to store by the front door.

    wow!! Great job everyone. We are doing so well. I am on day 5 tonight. I am pushing much harder since my hubby is gone on business for the week and I really don't want to snack past 8. Doing much better. I do have to make fudge tonight for my employees. A lot of kids work for me and when they do well, I give them choices of what they want for reward. 8 out of 10 times, they choose something food like. This time they chose fudge.:ohwell: They don't know how tempting it is for me. It's my own fault though. Most of the time, my niece or daughter bake as a bonding and time to talk thing (niece is a teenager) and since I don't want to eat all the junk, I take it to work, where I fuel my kids obsession for homebaked goods. But it's like all of you are here in the kitchen with me, so the fudge should be safe. :wink:

    So, is the fudge still safe? I'm guessing that it is!! you're doing great. So are you wlhanisch. I made it through tonight. I binged so badly earlier in the evening that I just couldn't snack any more.
    Good night all.

    It works! It really works! :happy: I am down 1lb.
    Yesterday turned out quite well, though I was really worried in the early afternoon to reach my daily amount already. But, since I did go to the aerobic class and did stay for 1/2 of the 2nd session too, I was fine when I got home, had plenty of calories left,so I had a little snack and still left 1 or 2 hundred calories uneaten.

    So, day 8 has been conquered. :drinker:

    wlhanisch, so nice to see ya back! Glad you're doing so great! Keep up the good work.
    kerimcd, fudge, yummy. But it's yummier in the morning that it is in the evening, trust me :wink: .
    zaza, hang on in there. I was thinking last night that if it weren't for this, I'd probably binge on some evening as such as to double my calories for the day. Cos in the evening I get tired of logging if I keep having a bit of this, a bit of that.

    Stay strong, everyone, we're doing this! :drinker:

    Aww, thanks! I DID make it. I was cutting it close though, I didnt eat dinner til late tonight (8pm), and 8:30 is my cutoff, so I had to hurry. But, I made it. :smile:

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I had the same feeling last night, as I was tasting the chili beans before putting them in the soup pot, hehe. But, last night was good for me too, so 9 days down :drinker: (I've gotta pay attention to the counting, cos I'm in only since March 2 :laugh: , so gotta subtract 1 each time, hehe).

    I'm gonna count last night, too. Though I stopped at 9:30 only (but I got home shortly after 9) and went by under 100cal over (but I did sit-ups before bed to even it out a bit). So as you see, I'm holding onto this with my teeth :bigsmile: . I could be better, but I refuse to feel bad about the little slip-offs. I know where perfectionism has taken me before. :angry:

    So I'd day, whoo hoo to Day 10. 10? :noway: Wow! :drinker:

    If you did not endlessly snack on things in the evenings and just had dinner past your cut-off because this is when it was served, but still, did not stuff yourself, I would still count those nights, too. It wasn't your choice to eat late.I, for one, need to be strict, but depending on my motivation, sometimes being too strict takes me out of the game. So whatever motivates you!

    Whatever you decide it's best for you (reset the counter or keep counting those days), glad you're still in this with us :flowerforyou: .

    Haven't been on lately. Doing good though. The fudge made it until the next day. It was amazing though. It's a good thing I didn't know how well it turned out the night before or Imight have been in trouble. :laugh: Day 8 for me!!
