Hi eschano, you know how much I love vegetables - don't really have too many exotic recipes however as I either eat them fresh in a salad or something or steam them. I am going to try more roasted veggies this year, I saw a whole head of cauliflower, brushed with olive oil and baked until golden bro...

Happy Saturday All. Really feeling motivated, probably because I have had some really good days since the whole holiday thing and it feels so much better than overdoing. There are still containers of homemade cookies - several varieties - on the counter as well as a container of homemade fudge and o...

Good Morning, HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! Wishing all a healthy, happy year, Things are going well here, indulged a bit over the holidays but enjoyed it all.

Not sure if I fully grasp the entire concept of the "control" issue. I suppose if one was really in control, they would never have any issues about food or exercise. They would just go about their daily existence. I do know that when I eat the way I should and exercise the way I should, I feel that ...

I have eaten good, clean meals all week, haven't touched the candy bowls or snack bags. No diet soda or sugar in my coffee (never put anything in my green teas)....

If you seem to enjoy the sanity of your N days, make more of your S days along that model. No one says that a person MUST eat more snacks, sweets or seconds on S days. Many of us do not.

Really interesting posts. I don't count calories as far as saying I will have 1200 today and no more, etc. but I do look at the calorie count on every item I eat (if available). I am shocked to see the total calories in some items considered healthy. The suggested servings are laughable in many case...

Good to see you back, KCCC. I have always enjoyed reading your posts. I, too, need this board for accountability. No snacks is really the key for me (I include in them candy, etc. so that covers the sweets as well). It is amazing how easy it is to reach for "just a few" pretzels, cheez-its, corn chi...

Welcome to the boards. My advice regarding your apprehension about S days is to eat what you feel is best for your body. I don't treat any day differently from the rest. But, some people save treats and special items for the weekend (or days they deem "special".) I did more so in the beginning but t...
