Small Success: I said no to cake!
Okay, so it's not a post about losing 80 pounds, and there are no before and after pictures here. But I know you've gotta understand why I'm celebrating - cake is my nemesis! My kryptonite! If it is nearby, I am eating it, and it's all I can do to keep myself from plunging face first and eating the entire thing like a…

Scared that I'll get STUCK!
Hi, I'm fairly new, been faithfully tracking my calories for 25 days now... 5'4' and started at 174 (now at 170). I set my calories to lose 2 lbs a week, which I did in the first week. Since then, it's only about 1 lb a week. I don't think it's fair that I am eating for 2 lbs but only losing 1!! I'm wondering if I'm going…
