Subject:	pounds to lose?

Hi, 
I'm new to the group and am looking to regain some sanity in my relationship 

with food! Cutting out the snacks and sweets in my diet will undoubtedly help 

me get to a steady and healthy weight if I can pull it off consistantly. 

How much is everyone trying to lose? I have a vacation coming up and am 

hoping to lose at least five pounds of fat (not just water!) by then. We leave on 

Dec. 28th so it's not a lot of time. 
How much is everyone else trying to lose? Is anyone else just trying to eat in 

a normal and sane way? I find that way too often I use food (sweets 
especially) to deal with emotions so hopefully this strategy will lead me to 

finding alternative ways of coping with stress and the like. 
Good luck to everyone! 
Anne
