Hello Anita, Camping sounds fun, I haven't been since I lost all this weight, but used to love going when we lived in Cali and still have all the stuff, only now we break out the gear for hurricane parties instead of camping trips ... We always pack a HUGE cooler with meats, fruits and cheese for camping trips then keep it loaded up with fresh ice...So I would say stick to the best grill basics - chicken, hamberger, no fat hotdogs, that kind of thing, supplement with power crunch, Oh yeah and other protein bars and maybe take a few powder mixes you like that only need water - skip the potato and pasta salads as much as possible, bring lf chips if you need something like that or already popped popcorn ( costs more but stores better in the sealed bags )... Yes you sure did have a good day, you are doing great and are definately steering the ship on a straight course...Keep up doin' what you're doin' and enjoy the vacation... See ya soon...  Alesia

we are leaving to camp friday after hubby gets out of work. we are only camping 4 days. i did get some tuna that has some crackers to take with me. just 2 small containers. 2 meals.. my power crunch bars are almost gone.... :-( i love them things frozen. i bought 2 boxs of akins bars today at walmart. so i do have them... so thats it for now.. anita

Hi Connie, Man today I think I'm right on your tail for the bumped up calories, was doing fine until after dinner then just got the urge to eat and didn't stop with just a taste ...You know the biggest culprit was probably that salad at Zaxby's, still I don't see a day full of bad choices just some big counters...Start fresh tomorrow, I know I am, I AM THE CAPTAIN, I WILL drive this ship in the right direction !!! Alesia Yeah sure your sorry about the cherries , just think of me while you're eating them and maybe I can telekonetically get some joy out of you eating them...

Hey Carla, You had a nice day...I know it still suprises my when something just doesn't go down right, mostly I think I'm past those little issues then one day the pouchie just rears up and ...Almond crusted pork chops sound really good, made from scratch?  Another one I'm gonna have to had to my "try it" list...  Alesia

Hi everyone..So I went from wanting to eat everything in sight to not being hungry at all.  Explain that one to me..Yesterday's calories was really low for me and to be honest I kinda had to make myself eat.  I'm not sure what that was all about because it rarely happens that way.  Anyways, here's the day B: 20 oz sufar free caramel nonfat latte L: four cheese chicken S: 24 oz passion fruit iced tea lemonade S: salad with lettuce, tomato,onion, blue cheese, dried cranberries, croutons, and italian dressing D: seafood salad from subway S: 1/2 cup pumpkin with splenda, pumpkin spice, and 2 tablespoons ff cool whip Calories -- 1036 Carbs -- 100 Fat -- 38 Protein -- 73 So I guess that makes up for Tuesday.. Kerri

Yep Kerri guess it does - My body does that too, I think that when you overfill one day the pouchie and intestines send out a signal to the brain that they are still full and you don't get the urge to eat the next day cause you just got enough already...At least thats how I'm hoping it will continue to work, cause I know I have those days when I just overdo it and the next day or 2 always seems to off balance the craziness ... See ya tomorrow - Alesia
