Really would like to get back in shape -- gained 40 lbs over the last 6 years, so now i'm 40 and it's a lot harder than it was to lose weight when i was 25. have always been a bit. heavy. the last few days were ok, but today was a bad day with chips and sweet condensed milk for my tea!

    I think that is why logging your food is so effective - you can see right away (or beforehand if you plan your meals) where your calories are coming from and can make smart choices.

    I find it helps to look up what I'm considering eating before I eat it - this way, I'm making an informed decision about what I'm doing.

    Of course, that was the good angel speaking. This week on my business trip...I barely...BARELY ate within my calories. There were a few days when I ate my limit and my exercise calories and THEN went over.

    Back to the drawing board :) We'll make better choices tomorrow!
