Just wanted to say how helpful the weight tracker has been. I found it through my igoogle back in march when I decided I HAD to lose weight and get back in shape. I really think it has been as integral to my first month of weight loss as the diet and exercise have been. Every morning I wake up thinking about what I'm going to weigh because I have to put it on my weight tracker and it's going to be staring me in the face every time I get on my computer. It's great motivation to skip the snack and make the extra trip to the gym during the week.
SHOUT IT OUT GIRL!!!! Am SO PROUD of YOU and YOUR EFFORTS!!! Just Look at what You've accomplished!!! Doing the happy dance for youuuu!!!!! Congratulations for a job very well done!!! :)
hope erveryone's weekend is going great!!!! um so happy with my weight results this week! take care everybody!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank YOU for joining us, jumping right in, participating in posts and in the LiveChat .. it is such a pleasure to WELCOME YOU to the WL&D community! What a wonderful addition you are .. and we are grateful and honored you have chosen to share your journey with us!

Heidi .. So very glad you made that choice for yourself! We're pleased as punch to have you here!!!
Jump right in .. we can give you lots of ideas about portion control and choosing the right foods. Just start some posts and ask your questions and the members here will get right back at you with amazing information!
I've been an emotional eater throughout my life and it takes examing our reasons behind our eating and some close looks at our behavior. Would be honored to help you with that. It does get better and the key is forgiving yourself quickly in those times the emotions win .. not quitting because it is a learning process .. and shouting out for help! Slowly we learn how to better handle our emotions and the emotional eating episodes get further and further apart.
Now, as for the wine .. there is no need to give up everything you like. This is about modifying our food intake. Try drinking only a few ounces of wine and mixing it with diet 7-up or Sprite .. like a wine spritzer. It is a compromise, falls within calorie content and you will not feel deprived.
Love that you are setting up your weight tracker. May I suggest the exercise and mood trackers as well. The mood tracker is especially important when it comes to emotional eating.
Very best wishes .. and many supportive and welcoming (((Hugs)))
