    Hi, I just joined today but am on day #36 of keeping my own food journal. I am in a similar situation with the exercise part of all this. Have not done anything really to exercise but have been diligently keeping track of all food or drink I consume. I do not have a scale at home so must wait until next doctor appointment to see how much weight I have lost. I too am at a bit of a loss with meal ideas. It has just been an adventure to say the least experimenting with different food combos haha. I am also keeping track of sugar and sodium intake due to health concerns. Congrats on your weight loss. I began my journey because I lost an uncle last month who had not been taking care of his diabetes for over a year. I am not as of yet diabetic but it runs in my family and with my weight I am at high risk. I just woke up and have decided his death will not be in vane. I want to live and think of him everyday as I write down my food. I have gotten my blood pressure down on my own and no longer take medication for it. That sodium adds up very quickly. My encouragement is just knowing I am more aware of what I am putting in my body. Sorry if I kind of rambled..I am new and am not used to talking to anyone except my immediate family about my journey :happy: ---Lori

    Awesome loss! I don't rely on daily exercise because of various health issues but I do walk. I don't always record it, though. I keep my food diary current and try hard to stay within my calorie range. Feel free to add me and we can support each other.
