I'm in Liliann! This is what I've been doing for quite a while - only I'm using a website to count.

Do you have a daily goal? Mine is 1500/day. So far this month I'm a little high - a daily average of 1624. I'm finding that in the colder weather, I'm wanting heavier foods. In the summer salad weather sticking to 1500 seems to be a lot easier!

Can I start Jan 2nd lol... too many xmas parties going on and a new years day celebration!!

But yeah I track my calories on a website too. I try to stay around 1500 as well but it's really hard this month with all the xmas goodies!!

Good luck Lilian! I look forward to reading your posts!!

Keep up it needtoreboot!

Raven, I hear ya with the Christmas parties, etc. I'm going to one on Friday that is at a place that tends to be pretty challenging for me.

I've been working on my lifestyle change for a couple years now. I tend to cut myself a little more slack starting around Thanksgiving. I just have to not let the holiday period be a free for all!

Total calories.....1,625
Total carbs.... 64

I am good and done with eating. My kitchen is closed!!

Mistake, calories under 2000, not 3000 ..

You can do it reboot,raven!!! :)

Liliann, I wish DS had icons. I'd love to have the one right now with the little cheerleader jumping up and down waving her pom poms!!!

You deserve cheerleaders and a BIG HURRAH for today!! Excellent job!! Sending you wishes that tomorrow is equally successful!

I will probably post my daily calories the following day. I have a BAD habit of middle of the night eating. Have done this my entire life ever since I was a kid. The solution that seems to work better than anything is to plan what I'm going to eat and then record the actual the next morning.

At least I've learned to keep a note pad and write down what I'm eating in the middle of the night!

I stay up til midnight-1am, to wake hubby for work and spend some time with him, so I eat late as well. I usually have a small snack around 1030pm. What works best for me is to save calories for later in the day so my late night eating doesn't push me too far over my limit.

Great job today Lilian!

I agree with Ravenstar. I eat lots of fruit and veggies today until I went to a business Christmas Party. I had a fried oyster in my mouth before I realized it. I ate on a 6' plate with 4 shrimps, 3 fried oysters, and some kind of meat on a slice of baguette. I have parties up to Christmas then New Year. I would like to eat more salads, fruit, and veggies daily so when I go to the parties I don't feel sooo bad. But I want to get back to my old ways so I can lose weight.

Great job!

Well done Liliann!

Yesterday's numbers for me:
1524 Calories
150.4 total carbs/108.4 NET carbs

I'll be going to a big holiday party on Friday that has traditionally been pretty decadant food-wise so I'm hoping to stay in a good calorie range today too.

Reboot...great job!! Good luck with your party!!

Bad day..
Thursday
Calories...4,264

You can do this Liliann!! Back on track, OK girl?

Tomorrow is a new day, a fresh start and another chance to be healthy.

It's working!! On my home scale, sw 446...now 437 ..:) Yahoo!! :)

Thank you all for the kind support!! :) (((((((( hugs))))))))

Hope today is a good day for you Liliann! The every day little successes add up ;-)

Yesterday was not great for me either.
2160 Calories
247 Carbs/195 net carbs.

I need to figure out what is causing these sugar cravings in the middle of the nite. Some nites I'm happy with a yogurt - but last nite I went after the sugar again ;-(

Also, dinner last nite was pretty high in sodium so between that and the carbs, I'm sure to be holding a lot of water weight. Sometimes I think the carbs make the water weight worse for me than the sodium does!
