Oh NOOOOOO! My dress doesn't fit!

Tabetha, I had good results with Slim Fast after my first child was born. So did my hubby - he gained even more "baby weight" than I did! It's nice to not have to worry about how many calories you're consuming since it's all packaged right in. Good luck!

My physical therapist kicked my booty today. I was sweating big time for about an hour and a half. Then I ruined it by eating M&Ms. Dang it! I told my husband to take those to work with him today! I just have no will power at all.

I'm not going to beat myself up over it though. I'm making a very healthy dinner and I'll just get right back on track. I'll also make myself confess to you all when I do things like that so I feel too guilty to do it again.

I'm glad to hear Slim Fast has worked for you in the past! I had great success with Weight Watchers when I was at home a couple of years ago. I lost 23 lbs, and never felt better - and probably never ate so healthy.
Of course I gained it all back on my first ship contract.
I'll probably go back to Weight Watchers when I get home, and start jogging with my fiance. Which reminds me, I'd better get started on my training program!

Don't worry, you can do it! And a few M&M's isn't the end of the world... Keep everything in moderation, right? There's a big bag (I'm talking 5lbs) of M&M's in the office here on the ship where I have to do my reports and check my business email - holy moly. Every day I just want to open it and stick my head in there like a feed bag.

THAT would be the OPPOSITE of moderation.

I will be your weight loss buddy too!

I want to lose two sizes before my IndyBrides wedding next year!

I found a great tool called myfooddiary.com, it isn't free, 9 bucks a month, but there may be free tools out there.

This has a really easy way to keep track of calories ingested and calories burned, and keeps track of your measurements (after you take them, of course)

The one thing that saddens me the most is my evening cocktail.

I have switched to sparkling mineral water in the evenings, and save my cocktail for our Sunday Wedding planning Sessions.
