What wonderful advice we have all shared here about Key #4.... 
 
Kit your list has always worked for me. I keep mine at hand and take it to the store each week. 
 
Chilly I love the idea about printing it off and the checking it off... 
 
Throwing extra food away is one of the best ideas...at some point you will learn to make less...now I know we can't out guess ourselves when it come to buying fruit and veggies...and I have seen myself eat up the last 3 peaches because they were getting ready to go....but doing it all at one time is not the brightest ideas.... 
 
What is the saying...."Over the lips, on the Hips?"  
 
My favorite saying is " Nothing tastes as good as slim feels" 
 
Well I have done my doggie walk and am now ready to take my much needed swim....temps should be around 110 today....so early in before the heat really starts. 
 
Please ladies and gentlemen....consider your worth, being healthy affects the whole family..
