      :D There is a lot of research that shows that people are more successful at losing weight when they have a support group. Most of us can't find the right support group in our own family or neighborhood and often are surrounded by friends and family who sabotage our efforts either accidentally or by design. We are so blessed to find supportive friends on this thread.

      :D Flowergirl, the best things to eat are foods that have a lot of nutrition to go with the calories. I learned a lot by logging my food and analyzing what foods used too many calories for the amount I got to eat and began eliminating them and adding other foods. It helped me to stay away from sauces and dressings that added only taste in exchange for too many calories and not too much to chew on.

      :D Sparkle, you have a great "never give up" attitude about your injury. Thank you for being a part of this thread.

      :D I have a date to meet a friend after lunch for a walk and talk. My friends know that I don't like to meet for lunch or coffee, that I'd rather walk with them.

      Two days in on my 2nd week and I've been successfully prelogging each day the night before and double checking my calories and macros. This time around no diet "program" and nothing is off limits~ I just need to stick to my calories and macros. Having a friend for dinner tonight and I even worked it in to have Chicken Curry over real rice! Tomorrow will be pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts~yum! Next I need to start moving more which I really fail at, so I'm planning to walk the mile each direction to the store for my next shopping trip. Hoping these small changes become habit and I can finally make a permanent life change. Happy Tuesday everyone!

      That's a great idea Barbie! I always find that when I meet friends for coffee or lunch I end up going over my calories or decide to have a biscuit with me coffee! All I want to do is catch up with them and chat anyway! The walk and talk friend dates sound like a wonderful idea!
