Depression has set in
So I had been doing well for so long. I had foot surgery two weeks ago and not only am i bored out of my mind but I have put on 3-4 lbs.

Summer BBQs and weight loss
I would like to know how everyone else is handling the parties and BBQ s. I'm sad to say that with graduations parties and BBQ s I've put on 2 lbs since June.

Dieter's Bag

Paying for pounds(lbs)
My husband pays our 12yr old son for his grades, As & Bs. Since I don't pay for grades, I will pay for pounds. For every pound mommy looses, he will receive $5.00.

Is it cheating
I've found my fitness pal very helpful. With the exception of my chocolate fix, I have been doing ok. My only problem is that I can't shake my cravings for the dark chocolate monds. I have an 80 calories piece just about everyday. Ok everyday. I have included an extra 10 min on my treadmill to burn off that piece of…
