Spent too many times looking for an excuse to eat,too many times making excuses for myself.Hopefully it's finally sinking it.This is 1st time not losing for a wk didn't send me into "oh,well, what's the use"....in reality,just a green light to eat.No way I would ever lose & keep it off thinking like that.
I write down what I eat, how much & cal count for all.Talking to my DD helps,reading food plans helps & all of you help so much.You've had a great loss.Please share any tips you have.

" Good job on the loss. I think you're right, everyone is different. And this weight loss thing has to be a lifestyle change. It has to be something you can continue on after you reach your goal. Sure you can lose weight on a Atkins or a 500 calorie a day diet, but just start eating again and you're right back where you started. I think it's all about eating healthy, portion control and trying to move some each day. Keep up the good work."
