What to do when you're sick
So, I just started recently and of course 3 weeks in I get a terrible chest cold and my asthma starts acting up. I was always told growing up to starve a fever and feed a cold. So, is it a good idea to continue tracking calories and trying to lose weight when you are ill? Any ideas?

Question...
Maybe I have missed the thread for this, but I was just wondering. When I add crystal light packets to my water, I log it into my food diary. Can I ALSO add that to my water intake as well?

I'm taking a break...but not completely
When I first started this I was OBSESSED with counting calories. To the point it made me more hungry and hating it more and more. This last week I took off and ate everything because I binged out of guilt (guilt of not going to the gym, counting, etc). I think to the break chain I'm going to try for the next two weeks to…

Venting
So I told my boyfriend yesterday that none of my pants fit, (because they don't) partially because I shrunk them, but also because I have gained weight. I weigh 142 and a few months ago I weighed 132. Its crazy how much 10 lbs can add to a small body frame. It really pissed me off though because he said that maybe my legs…

Low Carb Diet Snacking
I've been on a calorie restricted, low fat diet for as long as I can remember. I do lose weight (also due to an active exercise program), but I've always hit a plateau. I've decided to try a low-carb diet, but I'm looking for ideas on acceptable, healthy snacking. Eating is an emotional release for me, and I know I'm going…

Halloween Damage...
As I am a 21 year old student in a small college town, Halloween turned into a MAJOR throw down. I went to a party at my friend's house, which was fun. I rarely hang out with this group of people because I'm very shy and I basically think that everyone hates me unless they specify otherwise. ANYWAY, After 2 drinks and 2…

I'm so dissapointed
Lost 15 pounds but I still feel the same and look the same. My clothes still fits... how many pounds do you have to lose before you notice a difference? Over ate over the weekend (not by much but big bowl of pho, vietamese beef nooble soup) and gained 2 pound overnight... how sad.

My husband ROCKS!
I've been BEGGING my hubby for the longest time for some kind of weight machine or a variety of nice free weights.

HRMs
I bought a HRM a few months ago. It is a Sportsline watch. I noticed someone posted about being able to enter their age and weight into their HRM the other day. Mine doesn't let me do that. I thought it was odd that it wouldn't let me enter my information when I first got it, but I have been relying on it since I started…

Confession Is Good For the Soul
I just had the worst eating day I have had since I started on my weight loss program in January. I started the program at 234 lbs. and this morning I weighed in at 162 lbs. I attribute a lot of my sucess with the fact that I log in EVERTHING I eat evey day. So today I really blew it. My wife and I went to the Macroni…
