Hi.  I regret to say that I am a "returner"; ten years ago, when I first

Well, I finally stepped on a scale and I am down to 132.5  When I really
started my new WOL (I no longer think of it as a diet) I was sometimes

Well, another month has passed on my journey to a 'slimmer' me. Had some ups and downs, I've been consistent with my calories - I am currently averaging 1900cal/day. For the most part I've been under my daily limit, but there have been a few occasions of going over. Only one ...

I am 17 years old and have had some good results with diets. Over the last
year, I dropped my calorie consumption from 3000 to about 1000 today. I lost a

I gained weight this year and I'm really mad at myself.  So I'm pumping up

I plan to do a personal pedometer challenge next week (mon-fri).  Please
feel free to join me!  I thought that I'd give everyone a heads up so

morning.

Today I spent the day at a "conference resort" working on setup for a
wine competition that takes place tomorrow -- the annual judging of
Virginia wines.  I'll work tomorrow at the competition as well.  Both
days include a very nice (complimentary for us) buffet lunch (and
