My how time flies....I haven't posted since the 5th but have been slowly losing. Currently down a total of 8 pounds. Next week is Thanksgiving. I have that meal down to a science. Much prep before hand makes for a more relaxing day for me! The key to steady weight loss is daily activity, mindful eating and not letting the reading on the scale define one's day! I think once a week weigh ins are best for me unless I fall off the wagon or feel alot lighter in the am. ...

I also am limiting my time in front of the computer and TV and started reading again. So taking it slow and steady this time around.
I have been fooling myself. I have told myself that if I cut out the sugar, then I'm LCing. And maybe it would actually be correct, if I wasn't an addict.
