I don't understand
Just returned from a 10 day cruise where I ate anything I wanted (yes, in large amounts), I drank more alcohol than normal, did very little exercise (bit of walking). When I stepped on the scale this morning, I was down almost 6 pounds. I expected to have gained 6 pounds! What gives? Any ideas?

I am pathetic.
I am pathetic. can't seem to keep myself on track re: diet. I have good intentions, then end up overeating. It is very, very, very hard for me to resist sweets.

Doing the math....1000 calorie/day deficit possible?
Firstly, I"m learning so much here by reading the forums and the "stickies". Making me feel that this weight loss is possible! No, not possible, definitely will get done! Here's my question: 1 lb = 3500 calories. To lose 2 lb/week = 7000 calorie deficit. 1000 calorie deficit per day. Is that even possible? I'm just about…

multivitamin?
Do you take a multivitamin while you are reducing calories? I take vitamin C and D in winter (live in Canada!), but I am considering starting a more comprehensive one. I googled this, but get lots of different opinions.

Hope to lose 50 lb or more
I have a feeling that this time is not going to be like all the other times I've tried to lose weight. Just looking through some of the info here is inspiring and I think I"ll be up late reading!
