Saturday check in - hello all. Laurie - thanks for the email. Success today... we were at the fairgrounds all day, and according to my fitbit I walked over 9 1/2 miles and the equivalent of over 72 flights of stairs.

I make the pumpkin muffins too, but use the sugar-free yellow cake mix + 15 oz can of libby's pumpkin (plain pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie mix). Don't add anything else. Just follow package instructions for cupcakes to get the cooking time.

One of my favorites is spaghetti squash with either marinara sauce, or a little balsamic vinegar. Spaghetti squash is very low in calories, and very filling. And pasta topping works great with it.

There are lots of folks here in the same situation. Just work on it a little at a time. I have been using the site for 6 weeks and have lost 17 pounds so far. I think the most important things are tracking your food, and I do mean everything, and I also think being involved in the community boards and the support you can…
