Kept to the plan last night at dinner party...small glass of wine, salmon and veggies. Was able to enjoy the occasion, yet ate within limits. Today I will take the BIG WALk-3 mile loop and catch-up on some cleaning. Look forward to relaxing later with my son. Important to have some fun before the work week...Keep up the…

:smile: Your posts give me strength! Today I will measure everything and cutback on extra unneeded calories like nuts and craisins in my salads. These munchies are my downfall and sabotage all of my counts... We are having a dinner party at the river tonight. I plan to hike to the lighthouse and eat small portions of good…

Sorry to hear you're still sick. Avalox or Levaquin? BE CAREFUL...if prescribed..read the IFU enclosed. They are effective but the proclivity for tendon rupture is very real and can extend beyond the dosing time. Ask your pharmacist. I had better luck with Augmentin 850 without the worry of the tendon issue. This may sound…

EXCELLENT!!! Keep up the great work!

Not a great week...still keeping on track, but a few extras and less exercise added a small gain :-(. I went back to work 2 weeks ago after a surgery and am still getting used to the full schedule. Feeling a little tired and discouraged, but reading your posts lifts my spirit. I keep thinking one day/choice at a time. I…

Love thyself...take it easy on you! It is VERY difficult to diet when your energy and emotional resources are depleted. Take care of the babies AND take care of you! I was sick last week-made huge pot of chicken soup with lots of onions, garlic, carrot, celery and chicken broth. Ate lots of soup and salad with tea and it…

Thank you for your wonderful post. I appreciate your time, thought, and perspective. I have made progress...(as I hope we all have)...no longer do I go for large portions of everything and snacks that never seemed to satisfy . I am becoming much more aware of the role of food in my life. These last few weeks I have been…

Feeling a bit despondent-. I have been slacking off the last 2 days...copying the same meals over and over without accurately logging extras like walnuts and craisins in my salad...My exercise has been at the minimum as well...1/2 hr. walk per day. Need a quick pep talk as I'm slipping back into bad ways. Dreading the…

Feeling discouraged...have been consistently tracking and I am stuck at a 3 lb. loss. Exercise has varied this weekend due to foot injection :-(...I go back to work tomorrow after a surgical absence. Hoping the structured time will allow for less focus on eating/weight ups and down. Overall, controlling portions and eating…

Steady progress! 3 lbs. down...maybe even a bit more towards 4. But always quick loss at first...Most importantly, I feel like I am back on track after several months of free fall into a 15lb +weight gain. Exercising daily -mostly walks and elliptical is helping to keep me in balance. Hope all are doing well and are…

This is helpful...thanks!
