I'm glad you vented instead of ran to the pantry and grabbed a bag of something horrible - like I might have done. You have a huge group of supporters here. We are rooting for you!

Thanks, Lisa!

How can you be having spring fever in November??? I totally understand, though! :glasses:

Welcome aboard, Marnie! Your habits sound like mine two months ago. I ate till I was stuffed. My, what a difference a little website makes! You will love this site. Already I can fit into my skinny jeans again. It sounds like you already know this but here goes... 1. Take it slowly. Don't expect instant results. I only…

I'm with you TamTastic! Liver or organs. Gross! I love just about everything else, (unfortunately)

I like any cereal that has some nuts (protein) with skim milk. I also like peanut butter toast on multigrain bread. I just discovered Wonder Bread bagels in French Toast flavor (250 calories) which give me the flavor of my french toast with fewer calories (although still pretty high). Hope this helps.

After we got married 1 1/2 years ago, I noticed I kept gaining weight. Sigh! From single girl microwaving to married girl country cooking, I guess. My doctor noticed the change and suggested I count calories to see where the numbers are coming from. This was the best site I could possibly have found! Not only is it a…
