My scale say that Ive lost 1.5 pounds since yesterday??
Is this just a fluctuation? Should I be happy? I followed my recomendations from the site very closely and the scale reflecks 1.5 pounds lost. Im confused, I want to be happy about it but I cant stop thinking that its water weight or something. What would cause me to lose that much water in one day? Thanks

Need to vent
My husband is turning into a selfish irritating little turd:explode: !!

Question about eating after Midnight
When you guys eat after midnight do you put it on the current days journal or the same day (that starts at midnight)? Yesterday/today I had a late night so I at after midnight? So Now I'm like do I cut calories today or just consider the day as 24 hours from the time my day started? Hope that makes sense.

Family Health
Our family health has been a process in our house. I used to keep junk in the house for the kids on the thought "why deprive them?". But then it donned on me. Why give them crap and set up bad habbits for them? Don't get me wrong, they are not weird granola eating kids, but they are very healthy eaters. And even with all…

Lost another pound....and 10 calories.
So I lost another pound this week (woot!), so I decided that I should go to the "update diet/fitness profile" (under "settings") to see if I'm still eating the right amount for my weight, since I have lost a few pounds, and when I pushed "continue", without changing any of my settings, it took me from the 1370 calories…

Freaky taste in my mouth!

Do you ever wonder....
Do you ever wonder if you're encouraging someone to lose weight- when in reality you shouldn't be encouraging them? Maybe it's just me and my anxiety/paranoia/ocd/trust issues/whatever but tonight I was looking at a profile of someone who recently joined the site. Their picture would lead me to believe they have NO weight…
