Sigh. I'm not doing well at all. Too much tempting stuff in the house that I bought for daughter and nephew. And secretly so I could eat it too, I'm sure. 
layful:
When these two are gone we're going to stepdaughter's house for a couple of days. More temptations. I can still wear my smallest pair of jeans but I've stretched them out now. Maybe I need to wash them and stick them in the dryer and then make myself wear them which will remind me I've been a pig and to stop it now! :distrust:

Worth a try. That was my wake up call---when the clothes started getting tight. You are so good at this, I know you will be successful in the end.

You're doing well, Nancy.
I just managed to get into my smallest jeans, but time in the dryer would fix that now! Anyway, when guests are gone I'll get back on track. Got 3 days with grandson though next week.
Thanks, SeaBreeze. Getting boring, but at least now I remember it's possible to live without pizza and candy bars. It's those TV commercials. Need to go grocery shopping again. Danger time.

... Don't go hungry when shopping....
Good advice.
Still plugging away. Today was difficult because I ate too much too early in the day. Had 12 peanuts and a cup of cabbage (separately) for evening snack

You're all doing well, everyone.
I keep asking myself WHY I always become a pig just because we have guests in the house? I was so happy that I only had 5 lbs to go and my smallest jeans fit. Sigh. These guests were hard to cook for as our meals always have tons of veggies in them (curries/chilis) and they don't like many veggies. So we had lasagna, mac and cheese, BBQ's meats of all kinds, then there was beer, ice cream.....
Well, guests are both gone. Today I'm sticking to 1200 calories. Been to the gym and will do both upper and lower body muscle work this afternoon. Was planning to go to the gym again tomorrow but have to go into the city again. We're taking uncle with dementia out for lunch with some of dh's other relatives. We are going to restaurant that lists the calories on the menu. I'm going to have a chicken breast burger with salad instead of chips - 420 calories.
Weds we are spending the night at a hotel in Glasgow as we are catching an early bus to go visit grandson. In-laws invited us to dinner at their house as they aren't too far away from our hotel. Hopefully it won't be too fattening and they won't have dessert. My intentions are not to have any alcohol (calories/kills willpower) until I'm on my flight to the US Aug 24th.

This is the most difficult situation of all I think---visiting someone's house when they are cooking for you. You absolutely can't be picky about what you eat. You have to try everything, and if you don't have seconds they might get offended. And if you try to get by with small portions they will think you are being little miss fussy. I usually just try to enjoy it, count it as a skipped day, and try not to go over maintenance at one meal. Good luck Ameriscot.
Yes, we'll be at in-laws for dinner Wednesday, stepdaughter's family all day Thursday and Friday - but we'll probably have dinner at a restaurant one night. At least I can turn down beer and wine without hurting any feelings.
For a really huge challenge, I'll be spending a week at my son's house in Michigan in August and they have the worst eating habits. All fatty, cheesy, sugary stuff, no fruit, few vegetables. It's a lot easier when I get to brother's house and later sister's house as they eat healthy. Then it'll be restaurants for 10 days when we travel with sister, so my choices.
Sounds good to me right about now.

If you saw the size of my son, his, wife and oldest daughter you'd soon change your mind.
