I had a wonderful trip to Maine and had nice visits with all of my family.  I'm thrilled to have lost weight as we did eat out at least once a day, everyday.

What worked for me was to eat a small salad or broth based soup before every meal and ask for everything on the side (dressings and sauces).  I just dip my fork in to get the flavors and I do not use the low fat dressings when I'm out I love creamy peppercorn too much! Of course I try to get something that is healthy to eat not fried or slathered in something I can not identify.  I think I even over estimated the cals in a few of my meals.

Depending on where we ate I would eat light the rest of the day (I brought a lot of my own food to cook)

Good luck to everyone. I'm so glad to be home.

Since logging onto cal count, I have managed to get back to a size 10 (was pushing a 16) and can finally put on some of my old 8's and get them zipped 1/2 way !!! I think this site helps me be accountable for what goes into the old piehole.  Final goal be at a size 8 by Christmas.
