  • Completely non-scientific input here. I quit drinking 3+ years ago but I filled the void with other unhealthy calories, particularly a 248-calorie Milky Way bar virtually every day. I think I also added calories because I used to frequently "drink" my dinner in the form of vodka, and after quitting booze I consumed more…

  • Good luck. I had to stop drinking 3+ years ago and the holidays are difficult, that's for sure.

  • I do post a fair amount on Facebook - both for personal and business reasons - but have so far avoided any mention of my weight loss/fitness journey. I'm struggling with this issue. How much should others care? What would be my motivation in going public? I will address it eventually, but perhaps not until I have reached a…

  • That's funny, as reaching a simple "overweight" is my current goal. I started at 250# in July and am now bouncing up and down at 220#, so that's good. To be "overweight", however, I need to get down under 208#. To reach "normal" I would need to get down to 174#; a daunting prospect, indeed. One day at a time; 'eh?

I quit drinking 3 years ago, having consumed enough alcohol for any one lifetime. The heck of it all is that I am more often tempted to smoke than I am to drink. I don't…

  • Yes, that's me: eating while preparing dinner. Today was better, though; I'm done with dinner and still have 425 calories in case I want some dry popcorn or something similar while watching recorded episodes of 'Vikings' and/or 'Mad Men' on this unseasonably cold and windy evening. As for chips, I know they're not too bad…
