  • I'll give it a whirl. I'm usually doing good if I get in 6 a day. That is on top of one cup of coffee in the morning and a lot of times one cup of tea in the evening.

All that being said, I feel successful because I have lost and kept off 35lbs. I log every day, the good, bad and the ugly. The only time I don't is vacation because well, it's vacation! I move…
