After making terrible choices on food today, I decided to log in and see how many calories it all added up to. By 4pm I had consumed almost 800 more calories than my recommended intake for the day. Yikes!! So here I am, motivated to do better. To make better choices today, tomorrow and the next day and so on. Any words of advice are welcome. I need help!! LoL and I would love to motivate you too!! Good luck everyone, we can do this :)

    Don't beat yourself up. I did it today but I am about to exercise for a little bit. Just get back on track and keep your goal in mind. You will do great

    I went way over a couple of days ago. We went to TGI Friday's for lunch, and I got the Dragonfire Salmon, which comes with rice and broccoli, so I thought it was pretty healthy. My husband got Dragonfire Chicken. AFTER eating, I looked up the calories and mine came in at about 790, whereas the chicken was in the 300 range. Wow. So live and learn. The next day I went on a seriously long hike to make up for it. Motivation for exercise!
    I also just downloaded the worst picture of myself at Christmas, so every time I look at it I have more motivation.:-)

    The best piece of advice I have for avoiding discovering you've gone way over your calories is to enter everything in your food diary BEFORE you eat it. You can see if you're headed for disaster before it happens and can make the necessary adjustments in time. Good luck!
