  • Hmmmm....where to start......taking the whole box of crackers into the living room while watching tv......buying anything chocolate covered and telling myself I can have just one (end up having hubby hide the rest of them).....so many more things....but I won't ever give up!
  • Thanks for all the replies! I think I am safest to go with a raw weight, unless it specifies cooked. I search pasta under "cooked" and that seems to work ok. Should all work out in the end.

Then in May I switched to meetings. I did lose about 30 lbs. following the online. I quit altogether in September as I was not losing and could…
  • Really interesting comments here. The "low carb" issue is something I struggle with. Having read scores of "diet" books and reviews of different diets, I realize that my best bet is to listen to my body. That is, to observe what effect different foods have on my weight, mood, appetite, sense of well being, etc. I KNOW that…
