Wow great article and very inspirational!

Yes, you're right. I eat out on the weekends and do enjoy wine on Fridays and Saturdays. Its helpful to have others look over my diary and point out issues. Is there any way to enjoy social drinking with friends and still lose weight?

I have a food scale at home and weigh most everything I make while at home (most of my lunches and dinners). Some days I unexpectedly eat a cookie or cupcake at work and that is when I try to estimate the best I can, but obviously I can't weigh a cookie at work. I try to quick add when I don't know what I ate, especially…

I then calibrated it by eating the suggested amount for 30 days and, noticing…

Don't worry, you're not alone. I have the EXACT same problem. I am 5'3'' 125 lbs and all I want to do is get to 110! But I have been tracking every little morsel I eat with MFP and work out 3-5 days a week. I usually run 15-20 miles a week (except its been especially cold lately and harder to do so).
