Exercise yes
Calories yes
Enjoyed some organic corn chips. I weighed them out 1oz and clipped the bag. Just knowing I could have a serving and not keep eating made me feel good. This scale thing and small portions my husband doesn't understand.
Tracked yes

@goldthistime yes, it is about good habits and of course good choices. Scales drive me crazy especially if I work so hard and it doesn't budge. Sometimes it just gives you a reason to quit if you let it. That's why I don't weigh often. Maybe one or twice a month. The real test is how you feel and how your clothes fit. It took me this challenge to figure that out.

@DreamAchiever33 so glad you are seeing results..stick with it. As you are finding out this is a life change. As @RangerRickL recently said when he was away for the wedding it gets to be second nature to sustain because of the habit of making good choices (sorry those are not his exact words I'm sure but you get the point) No race just little by little chipping away toward your goal. The good thing I love about this challenge is it's for weight loss but also for maintenance if you chose for it to be. Additionally for me it is a place to come back to if you have made it to your goal and need to return because old habits crept back in, health issues ect, ect. It's here to use and the people here are amazing. Keep up the good work

My moto is "nothing tastes as good as being fit and thin feels". I know that I didn't originate the saying but I have adopted it as my phrase. Come to think of it, maybe it is my phrase because when I first heard it the "fit" part was not in there. That's it I'm claiming it as mine. lol
