Week 2 check in Weight - 185 Down 6 lbs from start, 2 lbs this week. This week was much slower than last, but it seems to be consistently working. Struggle times are still late night, but if I go to bed hungry I don't seem to wake up hungry so that's good. I had several temptations at lunches out fo...

Congratulations on this week. I'm glad it's Saturday because Friday's sure are tough. Knowing you're so close yet trying to stay strong.

Keep going, you're doing great!

I don't know how the whole mind body connection works, but I would say if you're still hungry to eat what you're craving at meals. Hopefully that will fend off the temptation.

Keep going. You're doing great!

The weekend.... Well that was interesting.... I think I found out how many sweets one person can inhale in 2 days, however at the end of last night I was feeling like my kids after Halloween night. Not only did I attack sugar with a vengeance I also made sure to "make up" all of my snacking. Yeah fo...

Don't get discouraged. I too have no desires for sweets after this weekend. I also overdid the sweets and snacking. Look at all the great results you got from last week. Keep going strong. Think about it this way. You had one weekend that burned you out on sweets. Before I started doing this I could...

Congratulations on a great week. I am also concerned that I don't go overboard this weekend and undo this week.

Day 5 - success No S. I'm still trying to figure out what size my portions should be at meals. With No S I'm considerably hungrier at meals than I used to be and now I find myself piling up my plate bigger than I normally do, so that's going to take some adjusting. I have found that while I never us...

Day 4: success

No S, went to bed when tempted. Win win

Congratulations on another successful day! Slow and consistent is much better than fast and erratic. Keep going!

Day 3 - success (finally!)

I didn't snack all day. I was really tempted at night but my wife told me to go to bed instead and she was right. Much easier to sleep then to watch tv and not be tempted to snack.

Congrats! 3 success days in a row. You're doing great.

Day 2 - failure I did really well with snacking and sweets, my two biggest obstacles. However, I was so hungry when we got to dinner that I ended up getting some seconds without thinking about it until I was sitting down eating them. I'm not worries about seconds since I don't typically have issues ...

Congratulations on a successful Day 2. That is a great start. You're on your way to making a new habit.

Day 1 - failure

Well, I didn't expect to fail the first day. I didn't realize how much snacking I was doing until I tried to stop. I did pretty good all day until the evening. I stayed up with my son to watch a late movie and then ended up snacking right before bed.

Congratulations on a successful Day 1.

You made some great choices by avoiding past negative habits. Keep it up and I'm sure your husband will change his ways.

Keep going strong.
