Thanks for the tips! I made it through today without flubbing.. I drank all of my water...worked out on my Bowflex and did 30min. of Tae Bo...Yippeeee.... I am so proud of myself.

The food tips are great...I hadn't thought of the lettuce thing. Tonight for dinner my husband fixed cheese dip...normally I would have splurged on Doritos...NOT TONIGHT...I ate it with Pork Rinds! My family kind of laughed at me, but it was really tasty! I am not bummed now. I really think I can do this. Thanks to this site! I am so glad I got some replies...I was worried I had been taken as a whiner....hahaha...Thanks again!
