I&#39;m so impressed with you! I can&#39;t believe you were able to give up sweets!<br /><br />Try caloriecount.com (google it...it&#39;s an about.com site) I&#39;ve had success when I&#39;ve stuck to it. It helps you decide how many calories you need, but you can eat whatever you want. I like the fact that it also keeps track of nutrients, so it&#39;s like a game when you&#39;re trying to get all of the nutrients in while keeping the calories where you want them. Good stuff.<br />I just can&#39;t seem to stick to anything. I think I&#39;m going to seek help soon.<br /><br />xoxox,<br />marthaMarthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17782925951300369029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1525875471465984849.post-30591295977484596692012-01-03T22:24:28.375-05:002012-01-03T22:24:28.375-05:00Best of luck to you! I was able to lose 23 pounds last year--the big 5-0 was looming--by following loosely the Dr. Dukan diet. If you can give up sugar over the holidays, then it will be easy for you to do. You can find tons on line or buy the book, but essentially, you give up all carbs (all!) for about five days, then you add in veg carbs only every other day until you achieve your goal weight. Then you can begin to add fruit, whole grain, etc. I took December &quot;off,&quot; but I am doing a no-carb purge this week, and hopefully can lose another 5 pounds or so this month. Can&#39;t wait to hear your progress!Town and Country Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00842299632895569707noreply@blogger.com
