EATING OUT
Every now and then, I just want to go out and eat with family and friends. I found a great website, www.dailyplate.com that has a huge database of restaurants. It lists the nutritional facts on individual menu items. :smile:

progress!
Well, I've been on here for about two weeks, weight has stayed the same, but I'm losing inches! I lost a half an inch off my waist, and an entire inch off my right thigh (my left thigh has muscle atrophy, so I doubt I will lose much there)! It feels great to know that this is working and its more motivation to keep going.

Diet Devotion - March 26
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee: and shall say, 'Destroy them.' It's strange to think of food as 'the enemy,' but that's the best way to look at it if we want to be effective in our diets. Taking off the pounds is a…

Finally I bought my own scale
So, after trying to loose weight again I thought I can do it without scale, but it didnt work. I need some success :) I bought a scale last week, weigh myself and got 139.

Pregnancy and weight loss
I'm just wondering if anyone here has conceived while they were trying to lose weight? My husband and I are trying to conceive again, yet I'm also trying to get in shape and lose weight. Was just wondering if it's feasable to be able to maintain weight and get in shape while pregnant? Has anyone else been through this??

Diet Devotion - March 25
Exodus 33:14 And he said, 'My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.' The most effective diets are those with planned 'cheating' in them. Just as the children of Israel set aside a day for fasting from their daily bread, Christian dieters should set aside a day to indulge in the foods they enjoy. This…

Climbing back on the wagon.....
I've had a pretty rough last few weeks.:grumble: I have been at a plateau for over five weeks and the scale just hadn't budged. I tried different things-eating more calories, eating less, exercising more, calorie shifting, drinking more water-nothing really did the trick. So this week I was completely disheartened by the…

Motivation.
Lately, my motivation has kind of taken a hit. I've been doing well and all of a sudden it seems like my drive is gone. I know that a lot of it has to do with spring break along with going home for Easter and every time I get off track, getting back on is always a slight problem. Working out hasn't been an issue, but…
