    Stuck in a rut and can't seem to get out. This may take drastic measures!!! Actually, I think my biggest problem is I started drinking diet cokes again. I know better but I just can't seem to stop myself. So, today I will go cold turkey on carbonated drinks. By next week I should be over the withdrawl headaches and ready to post some good numbers. Really wanted to weigh 148 by Thanksgiving but I think I've done myself in. But -- I'm not giving in or giving up. If I don't make it by Thanksgiving I'm sticking with those that want to extend to Christmas. See you all next week with a little less bubblely (no carbonation) attitude.

    I like the idea of pushing this to Christmas - nervous about keeping up the loss with the holidays coming up. Originally my first goal was to be under 200 by Christmas - it looks like I might make that by Thanksgiving (fingers crossed)

    Oh My!!!! Headed the wrong way again. The good news is I did go cold turkey on Diet Soda. (Off it for 10 days now). My next cold turkey attempt is coffee and caffeine. (Two days now - No headaches but strong cravings) Anyway, no excuses for my weight gain, I've just been bad. I will do better next week. Good luck to all of you. See you next week with a loss.
