😂 made me lol 

Cape Cod Sea Salt and Vinegar. I bought a large bag recently and ate the whole thing in two days. Absolutely no control, I cannot have it in the apartment.  

acomandr, I have no clue what you're talking about. I see both of the posts.  

jheeden, I totally had to laugh too! Swelling up like a water balloon overnight is just a bit crazy! 😁 Shir, I totally get it! We can all learn portion control, but with some things it is harder than others and I am still learning. Interestingly, with very few exceptions, we are all here because weight is a challenge... Either gaining or losing. Not many are here because we have perfection sorted out!❤️😁 Thank goodness for kind people!!!  

Melissa this past weekend I did nothing wrong and overnight was up 4! This morning the 4 were gone plus another 2! I use the scale to keep me honest but it doesn’t define me. It LIES!!! 😂😂😂  

YEP. We had some chips enter the house recently. Ruffles cheddar serving size is 11 chips. The pita chips (which I thought would be healthier) had a serving size of 10 chips. Same calories. Let me tell you - in the bang for my calorie buck I would definitely NOT recommend the Pita chips.  

If you want chips that are low carb, buy a package of cubed cheese and nuke one on high for a minute. Just watch it. Better than a Cheez-It and you’ll be satisfied for a long time. Just eat a few, not 10 😂😂😂. Sharp cheddar and pepper jack are my faves! 

Probably just the salt making you retain some water. I do that when I get over 3000mg of sodium. 

jheeden, sometimes it is so strange what makes jumps in weight happen. I'm suspecting most of this will be gone tomorrow. If I wasn't commited to recording every day, I certainly could have happily skipped today! 😁 That sounds like a lovely idea to make the cheese chips! I think I shall introduce one of my sons to this idea! I bet he would love to try!  

Yes, jazzylittleone, I think chips are rarely with the calorie "expense," but sometimes a treat is nice. Yep, peeper! Pretty sure the gain will "flow" away pretty quickly. 😁  

Worth* 😊 

Chips are high in salt and we retain water when we eat them... Being a little under normal activity can cause some gain too. How have you been lately Melissa?  

CHIPS! We like them and incorporate them into a meal...like with a healthy portion of homeade refried beans, guac, salsa and labne. P.S. repackaging a large size bag into small baggies seems counter intuitive to being frugal minded and the impact of all those plasric baggies to the environment is a negative for me. We store open large size bags in opaque rubbermaid containers so the visual temptation is lowered when looking in the pantry. 

Hi, Jamie! 😁 I'm doing well... Better since I dropped this water! 💦 I feel good. "Calories in" are pretty level and my "calories out" are obtained copying you. My yard and garden work are keeping me busy hours a day a lot of the time. Not like your work all day, but it helps!  

You've got a good plan, catchick. Sometimes I can exercise very good control and balance, but sometimes... Not so much. I'm still working at building good habits to replace the not so good ones! 😁
