At my lowest weight I had lost 158 pounds. At my last weigh in I had lost 142 pounds, which means I have gained 16 pounds. And I suspect my next weigh in will see a couple more pounds because I have been out of control with my eating. I... Read more

Getting back on track after a holiday is a bit of an effort. Lots of false starts. Got it! Nope, fell off the wagon. Got it! Not yet! And so on. Today is a Got It day. Yesterday was a Got It day. I will work to make tomorrow the sam... Read more
Uneven Success

One would think one would be able to get fully back on program after taking a brief break and maintaining, but no. Not easy. I have followed my program to lose 160 pounds, and I took a couple months just to maintain. Now I want to get b... Read more
