Help...only 20 to go

first off congrats on the 70lbs lost you should be proud of yourself. second welcome to this site. I think the most important is to keep track of the food diary daily, drink water and try to move a little bit everyday. This is an awesome site that really makes you aware of what you are eating and offers alot of motivation and encouragement

I agree completely with both jbug and themommie! This site is a great source of motivation for me. Using the calorie counter was a HUGE eye opener for me. I have about 20 pounds of weight that I wasn't able to lose after having my kids, and, like you, kept losing about five, then gaining it right back. Last January I ran almost every day and still couldn't lose more, or keep the little I lost off.

The first day that I entered my meals into the calorie counter, I was absolutely shocked to see how far above the recommended calories I was! I thought I was cooking healthy, and we very seldom eat out. I sort of revamped my menus and am using portion control, and am happy to say that in my first week I lost 3 pounds! Give it a try--you may have the same results!!!
