I know, I like it too and I think that is the key factor.  Whenever I feel like snacking I have a bowl of soup. When I'm hungry, I have a bowl of soup.  Before meals, etc. etc.

So I just got back from a dept. store and tried on some shorts and capris and am so disgusted with myself!   I am 2 sizes larger than I was a year ago!  Now I am more determined than ever to get serious with this.  For sure Monday I'm on the bandwagon again!    There's no time like the present and I can't wait 2 weeks in between, I don't care what anyone says.

Anyone coming along for the ride?

Great!  The more the merrier!  Are you going to do the original or the "New" or your own "tweaked" version?

Good, good, good!   Something about MONDAY...it's a good day to start!   Tomorrow is day 7 for me so Sat. and Sun. I'll take a break.  I hope Sat. when I weigh in I will have lost 5-7 pounds.  Of coarse I'd love to shed more but I am being realistic.  I will still kind of follow the Weight Watcher plan on the weekend, (counting points) and I am going to have some cocktails and enjoy myself!  I will count the points in my drinks, no problem, I just get less food, but hey...we all have our priorities, right?  ha ha

LOL!!  I'M WITH YA SISTER!

I did WW 8 years ago and lost 50 pounds and kept it off until the past 8 months!  It does work and is something you can do the rest of your life, but I am too impatient right now and need a jump start!  I will still keep my points at 20 a day during my OFF days!  I know that plan so well that it's second nature! 

I used to always pretend that the booze didn't count  and that I can drink and stay within my weight goal but the problem is when your wasted, you don't care what you eat.  So on the weekends when I'm "off csd plan" I will try to keep it at 3 cocktails or only ONE bottle of wine!  LOL  he he, just kidding...though a bottle of wine is only 8 points!  (Yes I've measured and counted it in my journals!  Whose the lush?)

Well Sal, she may loose 0.3 pounds this week and you may loose 3!  So There! Or do I mean "Stones"?
So if 14 lbs. = 1 stone, what's 1 pound?  Do you fraction it out or then go to kilos?  I guess you could go to pebbles! lol

same here pound = lb.   I was just making a joke about the "Stone" measurement of you Brits!  I know a stone = 14 pounds    but what = 1 pound?   1/14th of a stone?
You know I think I remember watching an educational show one time and they said that originated in the olden days from people having to carry stones to measure their weight or something.  you know, "he carries his weight in stones"  or am I way off there?

Anyway, I like it,  it sounds better so from now on my goal weight is 10 Stone!

Me too! lol I hate the tape measurer, I haven't measured myself since high school!
  It's funny too, here in the US it depends on the brand and the quality of the item.  I never buy expensive clothing (because I'm a cheapskate) but I am usually a size smaller in a good quality brand!  Maybe that's why rich women pay such outrageous prices for things!

haha. Sally, there is a downside to my tape measurer. If you want to determine your bra size, no matter what your actual size is, according to my tape measurer, you'll be AA. Unless that's what you want to be. lol.

I can relate.  Pretty soon I'm gonna have to move em to get my pants buttoned.  Gross even picturing that!!!!!

I'm sure you have heard this one before.... I don't drink milk, what can I do? I really want to try the diet.

I don't drink milk, does this mean the diet will be unsuccessful?
