I was just wondering why all the posts have slowed. Who is still in the game? I know me and my partner are. Times have been hard and she carried us for a while but now it is my turn. I have had a great two weeks as far as I am concerned. I had maintained for way too long and am happy to have lost 4.8 lbs in the past two weeks. I don't expect to see huge numbers anymore but do expect to see some type of loss. So who is still in and what are you feeling this week? How are you and your partner d... Read Full Story

Sometimes I feel like I get more hungry than other people. I know this sounds strange, but I feel like MY hunger is worse than those around me. How couldn't it be? They eat a small sandwich for lunch and look satisfied. They eat a microwave lean cuisine and life is good. I do those things and I am still STARVING, or least that is how I feel.Here is the truth of the matter. Anybody who struggles with what they eat feels like their hunger is worse. It is an awful feeling to not have cont... Read Full Story

You are going to the store, you didn't want to go in the first place, but you need to get something.....so....to make yourself feel better about having to go out once again, you pick up a candy bar....you know that you shouldn't...but you do anyway , and you talk yourself into many reason why you CAN have it. like...I was good today....I have been following my diet to the T....I will...
