I am ever so anxious to get started as I am trying desparately to get in shape. Focus is going to be key for me and I think everyone else. Please post any pointers or motivating tips to make us all successful and I will do the same. Sometimes trying something different makes for great results. I love the idea of a short term goal as this and it's right in time for the Summer months when we all want to look and feel good. I wish us all success!

    44roy - here are a couple of tips to consider -

    1) Don't go to the event really hungry. Munch an apple on the way, drink some water etc.

    2) When you do get ready to eat there, make sure you pile your plate with fruits and veggies and leave just a little room for those forbidden yummies!

    I have a sister in law who has always been thin and I noticed that this is the way she always eats. She never deprives herself of anything but has the self control to allow herself a small serving or portion while mostly fillig her plate with salads, veggies and fruits.

    Hope this can help. YOU CAN DO THIS! Keep your long term goal in sight and have fun.
