Hopefully this is helpful.Talita - Woo hoo! Congratulations on getting back to your goal. I know you can maintain it...keep doing your best, one day at a time. With regards to posting pictures, I use Flickr.com, like Sue. Upload your photo, change privacy topublic, go into photo stream tab, select photo you want and click on it. It will open and have a black background behind it. In the bottom right corner of that page there are 4 choices for editing, sizing, etc. Click on the downward pointing arrow over the line and select a size (I tend to choose medium). It will open your photo onto another page with a white background. Copy the url of this page and post it in between the following BB code [img]pastelinkhere[/img]. There is possibly an easier way to do this, but this worked so I never explored any further. LOL. With regards to smoothies, Landog is correct, they are not recommended. Jeff Novick explains why in this thread: Fruit Smoothies. But I'm not saying whether you should or shouldn't drink them here, just pointing you to the explanation behind the why.

verde - Interesting about the carb loading...it produced just a temporary move up and then back down. With regards to soups, here a few recipes from the recipe section of this website: (omit the pasta in the first one) Vegetable Soup, French Vegetable Soup, Heavenly Vegetable Soup. Maybe you'll like one of these nice light soups, or find that you prefer your hearty meal soups instead. Either way, what you're currently doing is working so no need to overthink this. Enjoy the soup! In February. I posted how I upload photos here:Hopefully this is helpful.Talita - Woo hoo! Congratulations on getting back to your goal.

Amy, I'm pretty sure you meant this message for victw rather than for me, right?
**Jeff Novick wrote:Let's face it, this program may be simple, but doing it in this world with its toxic food environment with little social, personal and environment support is nothing less than "brutal." As a result, people struggle with it and are always looking for the next "trick" that will make this easier for them. In addition, the "pull" of pleasure trap foods, even those often seen as healthy, is powerful.
Jeff Novick wrote:I have often discussed the importance of simplicity in achieving and maintaining both short-term and long-termsuccess. I am going to add one more issue that often gets missed in this discussion and that is the issue of habits.
What we are trying to do here is learn new behaviors and make them into habits. We are trying to break old unhealthy habits and develop new healthy ones. These include learning to be more active and learning to eat healthier. And, while there are several keys to developing a new habit, two of the most important ones are consistency and repetition. While simplicity is important, so is consistency and repetition.
Jeff Novick wrote:...the research on the power of consistent repetition of simple changes to form new habits and behaviors is fairly consistent and strong. For some, it may take a week or two, for some, a month or two, and for a few, a little longer or shorter then that. But in the end, the process is the same, consistent repetition of simple changes forms new habits and behaviors
