how to not gain weight on vacation?
I did not want to gain weight on vacation but come back 3 pounds heavier. I have learned from my mistakes. I went TOO LONG in between meals and was starved before I went to restaurant.

what mindset or tips have made you be successful in losing weight?
I had to make up my mind to quit night eating and drink water. I remind myself you will just wake up and feel sad and disappointed when you step on the scales when I want to overeat. I eat a lot of halfs now, half a sandwich, half French fries, etc.

thinking about going low carb, anyone do this?
I lost 40 lbs 4 years ago,gained 10 back, would like to lose this, I did a 17 day diet a long time ago, like the adkins diet. Read people who ate low carb didn't get as hungry. So maybe it is time to shake it up a bit. I hate giving up bread but maybe it will give me a start in right direction.
