I did great in this WOL all summer and lost about 15 lbs, then went back to work as a nurse on the 3-11 shift. I was so proud of myself for the first couple of weeks, then started having a hard time getting "good" food around in time to take to work with me, and ended up SOOO HUNGRY around 8pm with a break room full of hi carb goodies. I started to feel like it was just too hard to maintain, as rushed as I always was. The rest is history. I don't even know what I weigh now. I'm scared and ashamed to face the scale... but I know from experience that it has to start somewhere. So here I am back on Day One... and yep, I quit my job! (Not for diet reasons, just felt better about being a mom and making life at home better for my family. The $$ I brought in just doesn't justify how much more valuable I am to them here. I was such a grouch when I had to leave my family and home in chaos to go work in chaos... it wasnt worth it!... But that's another thread! ;-) My motivation is my son's air force graduation early in January. 20 lbs in 8 weeks
