HI,
I've been wanting to try the body for life, type of plan because it includes good healthy eating and exercise that should work. I've been talking about it for months but can't find a "partner in crime" to work out or use the program with. My daughter told me about this site and I logged on yesterday for the first time. Thought I'd just keep track of what I'm eating so I'd have an idea but this food set up is SO COOL. I just followed along with the calories it gave me, yesterday and today. Now I've created a work out ticker, so I've got a small goal to walk 8 miles before the end of the month. Seriously, I was just checking into to this site but now I'm really excited!!!! My goal is 50 pds. I'm not sure if I should break it down to smaller goals or just go for it, so I'm going for it.

    You can lose the 50lbs for sure! But make sure you celebrate every 5 or 10lb increment (not with junk food though lol). Like once you lose 10lbs you get a Starbucks drink., 20lbs a pedicure, etc.

    Another good "trick" is to plan out what you will be having for dinner and then log those food items in the morning, that way you know exactly how many calories you have left for the day. It helps you "budget" better throughout the day/.
