  • I weigh in daily. I get to notice things like, high sodium days produces weight gain, which can last a day or two. I also like the progress feature on this site. And I get to see the graph of my success. Even when there are days I gained, in the end the graph is still going down. In the past, I've weighed in once a week…

  • Being stuck is hard to deal with. There are so many different reasons we get stuck. I would seriously consider looking into eating more calories.

  • We're making our own pizza now. Cutting the sodium in half or even more. And the pizza is so much yummier. You can even plan ahead and freeze the pizza before cooking.

  • You can do it! I quit 6 years ago, then smoked again for 11 months--I've been smoke free for 1 year again! It's hard, but there are things that can help, if will power is not enough. Don't eat sugar--it will make it harder to quit. Smoking actually spikes the blood sugar. And if there is an acupucturist near you, give them…
