Taste just like regular, but you do have to watch it more carefully as it will get soggy. It comes in a yellowish box. Hope the tips help a little and I'm with you! It's a tough battle.

I am going to try some of your tips. I do know that carbs are a down fall for me. I love pasta. BAD,BAD,BAD!!!!! I also love my diet sodas. I used to dring a lot of water but now I notice I don't so much any more. I think I wll try some of your tips and see if it works. Yes I have been to that stand still point and then just give up dieting altogether. I have had a weight problem all my life and now that I have gotten older I can’t seem to loose any.

I had lost about 70 pounds several years ago and kept it off for some time and then it started to creep up and then bam . . . I had gained it all back. It's a tough thing, but good luck with losing the weight and getting healthier! Even a little exercise helps.

I've worried about my weight since I was a little kid. Always had to battle to not be heavy and it's a tough battle. Thanks for the good wishes. Thanks, Joan.

My husband loves to eat and is constantly trying to lose weight. Good luck to all of you on diets. I have never had to worry about my weight but I know how you feel.

A few years ago, I went on a low carb diet and lost about 30 pounds, but as soon as my husband came home from an out of town job, I started eating normally again, and the weight all came back. I'm trying to watch what I eat, and I've started exercising for a few minutes every morning. Yeah, only a few minutes, but it's better than what I was doing. I'd like to walk more, but I have problems with the nerves in my feet (which I'm having treated, so hopefully I can start walking for health soon).

You should be amazingly proud of yourself. I have bunch of those flavored water mixes and must start using them as that is one of my biggest downfalls -- not drinking enough water.

I have switched to iced tea with Splenda to get more water into my system. Also, I get the tubes of flavored drink mix which I add to bottles of water. Varying the flavors keeps me from getting "bored" with any one flavor. I've lost 54 pounds in the last 2 1/2 years. Like you, I've now hit that wall!! In fact, I've put 3 pounds back on. My focus is now to lose those pounds plus a few more. Few is the operative word, placing emphasis on small losses and accomplishing that plan. Then I set another small goal and so on and so on!
