By the way, I will be going on vacation next week to New Orleans. Yes, of all the places. My hubby is from Louisiana and we lived there four years 1982-1986. There is where I gained all the weight. When we moved to Louisiana, I had just hit my target weight. I am going to enjoy my food, but I am going to be aware of what I…

I am sure we all go through this at one time or another. When I start to get into a slump, I start seeing myself at my goal weight and dress size. I think about all the cute clothes and shoes I will be able t wear. Just take one day at a time. Don't focus on the total weight and inches you want to lose Remember the…

WOW, I never thought about the crazy things I eat. I must say these sound pretty good to me. Especially when you are craving sweets. And my hubby thought peanut butter and bananas on toasted wheat bread was crazy. LOL.

I use the Atkins line also. I find them to be lower in sugar.

Hi and welcome. I am in the Windy City, Chicago. Sounds wonderful. I won't weight myself. If I stand on the scale and the numbers are not good, I give up quickly. I can tell by my clothes that I am losing the weight. I am going to wait until the five weeks are up. I got through Father's day. I have my birthday and a family…

Thanks these are great. This is my first week with my food journal and it hasn't been to bad. it is wonderful to be able to receive all of this great information. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hello to you also. This seems to be a great tool. I have a bit of weight to lose and I am one of those people who have tried everything. Now I just want to do it the right way, good healthy eating and exercise. It's not a diet, but a life style change.

Hi TX, thanks for the welcome. I've only been to Dallas, Austin and San Antonio.

Thanks. I am learning. I have never used a food journal before. It is still a little strange, but I am learning to use it. I do find that it makes you aware of what you are eating. Especially when you start seeing those numbers going up. I have quite a bit of weight to lose and I am hoping his will be a great tool to get…

This is my first week. Today is day number four for me. I have never completed a food journal before. However, I am happy to say, this is really exciting for me. My friend even showed me how you can put in meals ahead of time to see how many calories you would be eating depending on what you order. That way you can plan…

Sounds like a great way to start the day. I've been told it would be a good idea to add a protein shake to my daily intake. My protein intake has been low lately. Are they really good? What about the protein bars? The bars I have seen seem to be loaded with sugar. I don't need the sugar at all.

WOW, that is awesome. You look fantastic. Keep up the good work.
