  • I love my wine and cheese as well..glad to see I am not alone. I have cut back significantly but I still indulge a little on the weekends. I just cut back elsewhere on those days or try to add in some exercise.

My goal for next week is to get up at least 30 minutes earlier so I can…

  • Don't know if this will help but I took my diet diary to a nutritionist at work to review. What she told me was that even though I was keeping my calories at 1200 ( ok so a couple days I went over ) I had been eating all wrong. What I thought was healthy and well balanced was actually helping my body hold onto pounds. She…

  • I am glad you posted this I am in the same boat and I am interested in hearing some of the feedback. I also have been keeping within my calories I have cut out white rice and pasta.
