Linda Cecil will you be joining again? I bet it won't be as bad as you think, littlepitcher! For myself, it is a struggle to lose and keep off the weight. Even though I feel so much better when I do lose it, I tend to get lazy and it creeps right back up.

So for today I will walk at least 2 miles and keep track of my food intake.

A little peer pressure would not be a bad thing in my life. I had some bad news, went on a junk food binge, and became a pants stretcher instead of a dollar stretcher. I am just starting to swear off the stuff and resume eating healthy, but I'm terrified to look at the scales.

What happened to this thread? Is anyone else interested in keeping this going?

I have lost 23 lbs since last July, but I gained 10 back in a month! So I am getting back to business.

Hi all,

I am going to weigh in tomorrow if I remember. I am back to counting points, at least this week, if I get sick of it, I will go back to calorie counting. Its about the same!

Been pretty good so far today and yesterday. I was so bad last week. I ate out and had mexican and omgosh, did I not feel good!

No work out today... to tired!

I don't usually eat "treats" anyway, I'm just not a fan. My artificial sweetener is in cereal, coffee, iced tea, crystal light, pop and energy drinks. I will not give up my diet dew and pepsi max!

Forgot to weigh today.

I think I want to eat more often because I think about food and balancing it out more than I normally did. I was a chronic meal skipper and now it's hard if I have to wait later to eat for some reason.

I don't do artificial sweeteners. Just one taste of a diet pop or something and my mouth feels weird and I have this awful taste for about a week. Nothing will get rid of that. I do use sugar but have reduced the amounts of sugar I use in various things and try to eat more vegetables and fruits instead of sweet treats. I've also read quite a few time that the artificial sweeteners make you crave more and more sweet foods so it can really hurt you trying to diet.

As far as eating after 6-7 pm, if I'm hungry and have the calories left, I do eat a small snack. I feel that if I'm feeling true hunger pains, then my body is telling me it needs something. I do drink water first and it that doesn't help will find a snack.

Weighed yesterday, down another 2 lbs to 175!

ever get tired of dieting?

I get tired of thinking about what I'm OK to eat and what kind of exercise I should be doing LOL! I think I'm getting obsessed.

I had to add some sugar back into my diet because I just did not feel good for 3 weeks with just splenda and asartame stuff. Still managed to keep my calories at 1310 yesterday and 485 so far today. Had an hour brisk walk and Curves workout yesterday. Today will be a walk later this afternoon after errands.

I know I'm not supposed to eat after 6 or 7 pm, but why does my stomach growl at night when I don't?!

I always loved that old Weight Watchers favorite--brown rice cooked in fat-free Italian dressing. You can also cook it in beef bouillon with rosemary, and garlic, or puree carrots and onions with curry powder and use it as a sauce on the rice. If you can find black rice in your area, it is great but pricey. Oriental stores have it. Where, oh where, is the brown Basmati or brown jasmine rice?

My diet is just sprouted in the back flower bed, behind the dumpster of all places. Leaf lettuce, romaine, spinach, rainbow chard, and green onions. I've planted sugar snaps but they are holding back. Frost tonight--I hope that little enclave and the dumpster-windbreak provide enough shelter. If the frost doens't get the garden, the tenants probably will, even though I've promised them some cherry tomato plants and a split on the jalapenos.

Cutting back as much as I can when I can. I think I am going to weigh in tomorrow morning. I haven't for awhile, but I will switch back to doing it on mondays. I missed my opp. this morning.

Today had fruit, yogurt, cereal bar and a bowl of bean soup. I ate some french bread but omitted any butter, so that was good. I have a salad for afternoon snack with vinagerette dressing and only a 4th of an avocado, all else fresh veggies, mostly lettuce.

Tonight probably make some ham and brown rice for dinner. That doesn't sound very good does it. The ham does but not with brown rice! Oh well, its what I have.

Hi guys,

So far today I've had a egg salad san with light mayo on whole wheat bread, some low fat cottage cheese with mandarine oranges, and some pretzels. I have a spinach/strawberry salad with FF feta, OMG... I don't have any dressing here at work and I forgot to pack some. Not sure I will eat that.

I am walking up a trial, uphill and then down about a mile up and a mile down in a few minutes. That should feel good. Other than that, casserole for dinner. I hope its not too bad, I am gonna try to keep my portion to a cup or two.

I am sweating my dinner tomorrow night with family visit...always makes me so nervous.
