I was doing so well and was feeling so good...then, one anniversary dinner (and dessert!), I splurged. It's now been a month and I've yet to get back on track. I put 1/2 pound back on (I finally found the nerve to…

Totally agree with the Lite Laughing Cow wedges. One of those and a couple of Wasa crispbreads (high in fiber), and I've got a crunchy, satisfying snack for 125 calories.

Also, make at least a few…

I've been a vegetarian for 35 years (I was 16 when my parents finally relented and let me "try" vegetarianism).
