I am going to start posting again. Life got super stressful and I just didn't stick with the small changes I was making. I am going for it again.

My weight is almost exactly the same as the first day I posted here. 158.6

Well it's not the actual cost that is the problem. The problem is how the companies manipulate the labels.

Canned Tuna Eaters

This was a good find for me because I have wondered about this for a while:

I wonder does tuna in pouches contain the exact weight that is listed on the package.

Benni, S days are for cake! If it leads to more snacking, it's still an S day. Part of moderation is learning how to handle cake -- and if you don't ever eat it, you won't learn that. Having treats on S days is over the top for many of us, especially when we're just starting out, but the desire to ...

Automated, I have tried so many diets and failed. I am naturally an all-or-nothing person when it comes to some things. I decided to take a different approach this time. Small goals that hopefully will give me results in the long run.

CM, if you keep your N Days sweet-free for a long enough time, there is a decent possibility you will get over your sugar addiction. I've seen testimonials for people where eventually their S days calm down. I hope so. I really don't want to experience this again. I already had a bad start today. T...

Thanks automatedeating.

You may be right. My husband reminded me today that I have a tendency to make big goals and then quit at the first sign of failure. I am an all-or-nothing person. Perhaps setting a smaller goal will be better (for eating and exercising). I will think about it.
