this sounds so good! i'm going to file it away for a weekend "splurge".

Rick, your plan is working very well for you! Moderation is certainly the key to many things in life. I tend to be an all or nothing person so I've learned a lot throughout this journey about moderation. It feels great to get a handle on that concept! Have a wonderful day in CA! Hugs, Stephanie

Stephanie, Thanks for taking on the posting duties. My plan is just to keep on doing what I have been doing and remember a treat is okay if it is really a treat and not a habit and only if it is in moderation. Those are also some great motivational points listed. Have a great day. Rick

Thanks for the info...I was using da vinci syrups but they taste like they have an after taste to me now...I don't know if my tastes have changed or what...but I don't like them any more....If I could get a hold of DD flavor shots I would be all set...lol.... J

Good morning Stephanie. I had a good weekend, i see you read my previous post. Thanks! I'm very thrilled with my results so far. I feel now like losing more weight is now possible. I still don't know what the right weight will be, just didn't feel 170's was it. I am more comfortable with the 160's for sure. The plan for the week is to keep doing what I've been doing. Keep at the protein, water and exercise. The plan is to keep telling myself when I see something that looks good that I know I shouldn't have that "It's not worth it" and keep passing it by as I have been doing. I think that is making a big difference too. I think at times we think that just a little taste will be ok, or one bite, or only today. But today turns into tomorrow and you might do it again. So I keep telling myself "It's not worth it" and move on. Have a great day. I have the day off for MLK day so will been enjoying the extra long weekend. Take care.
