I'm so happy to see all of you being so strong! Having a hard time this week. My head knows all of the right things to do, but... Worst time of the day is, you guessed it, the evening. I don't know what happens, but I seem to start eating and can't stop. Errrrr!0

Still accepting members? I keep trying this and losing some, then getting frustrated. I am at the 50 plus a bit end of the scale. Really could use some MFP buddies to keep me on track0

What about "skinny" popcorn? 3.5 cups at 130 calories? Eat it while drinking a bottle of water. Or maybe , a fiber bar with a cup or 2 of almond milk? My new fav, light "silk" almond milk
40 calories a cup. Can still snack but fewer calories. 0 -

I measure out my 3.5 cups and out the bag away. Another thing I thought of is Ocean Spray diet juice. It's awesome. 5 cal a cup. Yummy and satisfying.0 -

My strategy is a glass of water on weekdays and promising myself it can turn into wine on weekends.0

We're about to leave on a 5 day trip to watch Monday's practice round of The Masters golf tournament. The trip will include 12 hours of driving there and 12 hours driving back home. I wonder how this will go with the delicious trail mix we make for trips like this as well as 5 days of eating in restaurants. I doubt I'll have the opportunity to weigh myself during this time so I will be in for a surprise when we get home. I'm hoping it's a pleasant surprise and I will not have gained more than a pound or two.0

Have a great time! I'm sure you'll do fine. Remember we are watching you Ha ha ha0 -
Please add me to the group, I can use any suport I can get. I am 52 and was at 348 Lbs in January. I have made it down to 301 almost to my intial goal of 298 by the end of April. The weight loss has gotten slower lately which makes it harder to stay motivated but as long as the number goes down on the scale each week instead of up I tell myself I am doing good. I have about another 75 Lbs to loose to get to my long term Goal of 225Lbs.0

Mick I hope you have a fantastic trip, enjoy the tournament and the time away. Have you been to a Master's tournament before or is this something to cross off your list of adventures?We're about to leave on a 5 day trip to watch Monday's practice round of The Masters golf tournament.

Mick........Measure out your serving size on the trail mix before you leave! And hit a grocery store once or twice for some fruits and veggies! My husband hates when I make him stop but it always good to just walk around at a rest area for a while also. Good luck and have fun!0
