Hopefully my last diet!

welcome...and feel free to add me
Good Luck:)

Jess,

For starters, keep this in mind. Diets are always one thing, temporary. To me it's all mind over matter. Diets usually include radical changes in your food regiment or whatever else you want to ingest (i.e. Nutrasystem food trays to weight loss pills). The word "diet" is taboo in my book.

Me personally, I use the phrase "lifestyle change" - keep eating your favorite foods but modify your portions, count your calories, don't eat after a certain time that you feel you're not as active, and drink plenty of water. If you'll follow that you'll do fine. Good luck.
