| Here's what I've been doing this holiday season and it's working pretty well: I am really limiting my calories the day of the party by snacking only on low-cal things like sliced cucumber and hard-boiled egg whites. Then, an hour before the party, I eat a bowl of All Bran cereal (and drink a lot of water). That way I walk into the party full, but nevertheless with plenty of room in my calorie-count to splurge if there is a food I don't want to have to resist. I tend not to overdo it, since I am full o' fiber, but I have left myself the flexibility to enjoy the food at the party.
Hope this is helpful. |

| Maydaydr - Nice work on staying at 1000 calories at a holiday party with wine! No easy task. I bet it is the salt ... it's making you retain water and that is the reason for the small and temporary gain.
I was 147 today! But the sweets started arriving at work today ... a 2 lb Godiva box came in at 3pm from a vendor ... UUUUUUGH. I'm relying on gum to get me through. |

| Re soup, D, Cambell's Select is pretty good (and they run on sale at the store pretty often). The Mexican Tortilla, Fajita, and Chicken Chowder are all quite good. | |||

| My new lunch is soup. I usually eat at my desk, so it is super easy, and the warmth seems to make me feel more satiated. Somehow, not doing a lot of chewing keeps me from then craving to chew more things ... weird, I know. Plus, I find it is good for portion control. I divide each can into two tupperwares. In the morning, I just grab a tupperware out of the fridge and heat it in the microwave at work.
Still 148 today ... |

| Joining! I am new to the site. Started at 150. Now 148. Aiming for 130. Under the theory of 2 lbs per week, aim hoping to post 146 next Monday.

| I'm one of the 20-pounders, so I may not be the one you want to hear from. But, it's significant to me, especially on my particular 5'5" frame.
Deanna - I'm adding you as a friend. :)) |

| I'd love to be a part of this too. I'm 31 and I live in California. Work full-time in a crazy hectic high-stress job. Married, no kids. 20 pounds has creeped on over the last several years and I want them gone. Been taking off and putting back on the first 5 lbs for a year now. I need to motivate!!! | |||
