Maybe I am a weirdo, but one thing I do that I find helpful is to floss and brush immediately after dinner/dessert. I find that I am less likely to pick at things aand nibble all evening (my downfall) when my mouth is sparkly clean!

Another tip is to have some herbal tea if you feel like you just need to have SOMETHING besides water. This is great for those of us with the heaters turned way down!

Good luck all! I would join you, but I have been counting, counting, counting, for the last couple of months and it is driving me crazy. I think I am just going to keep hitting the gym 3x/week and more veggies/less carbs and cheese. I think that the counting every day inhibits progress, for me at least, it's such a bummer when you are sweating and trying so hard, and you don't see a change for a couple of days. I got a little out of shape, so I am also sure that as I lose fat and build muscle, my weight will not go down. I just don't want to have to buy new clothes! I'll be good with 10 lbs gone, thrilled with 15!
