  • You can do it! Just keep on trying, and don't give up if you slip sometimes.
  • I went to North Carolina last week for vaca and am up 3.5 lbs from before the trip. Wahhhh! I tried to eat good, but slipped a few times. Drank way way too much good wine though. Trying to get back on track this week! Wish me luck.
  • Totally agree with you! Reading posts motivates me for sure! I missed yesterday almost entirely, and am bummed my system wigged on me so my Tuesday stuff didn't log. So today I did Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and my streak is down to one day. WAHHHHH! I had workers at the house this AM to fix problems and estimate…
  • Good luck Stephanie! I'm 58 and the queen of inconsistency. One would think if you know what to do, it would be easy to do it. So why do I sit here typing and at the same time thinking about chips? Lol! Hope your night (or day) is going better!
  • You hit the nail on the head! The hardest part is just doing what we know we need to do. It's amazing that this is so hard, but we are certainly creatures of habit and so many of us eat for all the wrong reasons. Best of luck with your mission!!
  • Is there any way to edit typos? I meant "both" obviously, but my fingers moved on at "bot". DUHHH! Oh well...
  • Good luck on the trip Rachel! I'm doing the same, to my sister's house, where we usually drink a lot of good wine and eat a lot of good food. Lucky for me she is also trying to lose weight, so we're going to try for a spa week where we exercise daily to try to offset any bad food/drink. Hopefully we will be more mindful of…
  • Beverly, I totally get that. My portion control is totally out of whack because I always eat more of stuff that tastes good, whether I should or not. Hard hard habit to break. I like the "use smaller plates" idea, but I've never had a problem going back for seconds, and plate size doesn't affect that...except how big my…
  • Hi everyone. I responded to Corina, but thought I'd comment again to introduce myself. I'm Connie, and did this a year+ ago to try to re-lose weight. Went on Nutrasystem in 2006 after seeing 2005 Thanksgiving photos that opened my eyes. What a shocker. I dropped 37 lbs to 167 (I'm 5'8), and I actually no longer had those…
  • Corina you have done so well! I am impressed! Try not to let this little setback defeat you. I too have the exact same "where'd this ice cream come from?" issue (or chips, cup of nuts, glass of wine or vodka drink...). I know what I am supposed to do, and know what stuff should not be in the house even, but in have…
  • You can do it!!
  • I'm from northern Virginia USA...just started over last week to try this again. Good luck everyone!
  • What was the eye opener for you? For me it's counting calories, and the "Jeez-oh-Pete, did I eat that much" awakening.
  • I don't know about tomato, but wouldn't a Denver omelet be really good now?
  • LOVE THIS!!
  • Because his standards are tooooooo high! :-)
  • Her youth! Great skin! @crystalsilenc
  • Oh how I wish I was one of those people who stop eating when stressed. I eat too much junk, and very unbalanced anyway, that emotional eating just makes it worse. Food is always a friend, which is sad, actually. And I'm battling a lifelong "always clean your plate" brainwash. I agree with the poster who said its all…
