Five years ago I ate half a hamburger….
…instead of the whole thing ( half the fries too) and started my weight loss journey while on vacation. I was on a cruise and finally owned up to the fact that I was 65 pounds over a heathy weight.

Jeans
Well I see a lot of you remarking about "real" jeans and some that rather live in leggings. It entirely depends on what you plan on doing in either one. I for one live mostly in Jeans as I do a lot of outside Yard work. Would not consider leggings for cutting shrubs, trees or even grass. But leggings are ideal for exercise…

How do you log your food?

When tracking your food, do you: - Log it as you consume - Log it at the begining of the day (or week) and check it off as you go - revising throughout the day if needed - Log at the end of the day I have my…
