As your eating and activity habits change, your body is adapting as well. Sometimes the weight does increase a bit, but that is just temporary. As your system adapts to more exercising and better food choices this will improve. Don't make the mistake of weighing or measuring too frequently. Changes aren't big enough for a…

Closet eating is still eating. We all sin, so make a good confession, decide not to repeat that experience. Photos can be cruel, but they ARE truthful. Put a shot of nice,fat, you. Smiling or not, YOU know just how happy the smile really is.So forgive yourself and move on. Weigh or measure food. Estimating tends to be…

My bad habit is buying something to work with (that makes me feel good, I'm trying, right?) Promptly followed by NOT using it. Try this: Get clothes for the workout -whatever you do. Not a loose sweat suit, but the spray on look. You aren't hiding your flaws from yourself if you wear a skin tight stretchy outfit. I've…

How do you send a pic here?

Just think of them as long cal.

Do you have any friends or family that will tell you the TRUTH, no matter how painful it is to hear? I've always trusted one or two that tells me if I look bigger in this outfit I love, or will ask if I really need that second helping. :) Not to be sarcastic or nagging. Rather one that can see you as others do, without the…

Scale is not for volume. Measure the TABLESPOON (or whatever) and go by that amount. Example: label reads 60 calories per serving, and 1 serving = 1 TABLESPOON. No weight measurement needed. Use the scale for weight like amount of meat. Would you put the cooked meat in a cup of water to measure displacement? Some foods…

2 items found. First one is called Lunch on the Run. Bumblebee brand tuna salad (not pure tuna, has other things too). A box for one, contains 6 round crackers, tuna salad, small cup of fruit, and a cookie. Calories are tuna-220, crackers-80, cookie-90, fruit cup-70, Total of 460 calories. The other is an add on for…

Don't be disappointed if you hit a plateau from time to time. I find my weight loss alternates with losing inches. Stay on track, change your routine now & then so your body doesn't acclimate to new eating/exercise patterns. Insufficient calories will put your body in starvation mode, making it harder to drop pounds. Don't…

In the descriptions one page addresses some questions. One that caught my eye was what's the difference between a white and black color of a model. I like what it covers, but it says it only comes in black. I can't get a straight answer when the white model comes out. My computer died of old age and I haven't replaced it…

Set small steps. Concentrate on the small steps and the big ones take care of themselves. Example: I am going to follow good eating TODAY. Break it further if needed. Exercise! A walk around the house better than sitting, wishing you could get to the gym.

Sightings aren't always visual. But they happen too many times, too many places and circumstances just to be a brainwashing of some sort. My initial sense Mom was here was smell. I could smell the same brand cigarette smoke she used. No one smokes here I smell it nonetheless. For only 1-2 breaths. This smell never absorbs…

Am I the only one that has a "pouch" Left over after pregnancies? At first it shrunk down-slowly- but last time around skin stayed stretched. On top of that, fat I gained just increased it more. When I started to lose weight, I was at 304 lbs. After collapsing and 4 days in a coma, a DIFFERENT doctor agreed with me:…

No. This isn't a story. First hand experience. In many different places, so I know sensing ghosts have nothing to do with the place. Learned they can be friendly as well. They have a bad reputation from Hollywood.

We lived in the UK a few years on a British RAF base. One of the buildings there is a hospital set up for patients,in case room runs out in other bases nearby. There is a ghost in that building that makes rounds checking each room:lights on, lights off. Next room same thing. Then upstairs. Same thing but going the opposite…

Sox missing are the ghoul in the dryer. Not a ghost.

That's the definition of the word BELIEVE. To believe is not expecting scientific proof. And I'm not talking about Hollywood or Halloween concepts of ghosts. I mean the real ones. You either belive in ghosts or not. If you don't believe, no one can convince you. If you do believe, you can't be convinced they don't exist.

Definitely believe in them!

After my Mother passed away, she came around almost daily. I could smell her brand of cigarette smoke, even though she had quitter 25 years ago. Once got her in a picture we took after cleaning some antiques she had collected. Other ghosts here as well. We have had a residential ghost here since moving in A child's ghost.…

Just remember the answer to life's problems are NOT in the refrigerator. I found that's a big part of my problem. Now when I want to eat, I ask myself is it my mouth wants something, or is my stomach grumbling. Trust the stomach. How old are your kids? They can be a help. Ask them which is better? And show them some…

Hi! My name is Sharon. All my babies out of the nest now. Enjoy these days.

I'm looking for a way of traking calories burned etc. Does it work with this diary app? Is there a scale to tie in too? I got a new Octane ellipse machine in November. Still trying to figure out how to use the info it gives at the end of the cool-down. Does anyone know how to use the programs?

Can your stomach stretch now? I got used to eating way too much, making it necessary to eat more to feel just as full. Can the pouch you have do the same thing? You have to change eating habits. Surgery like yours can help, but won't do it all for you.

Type diabetes doesn't run in my family: it gallops! My mother, all her siblings AND both parents. I told my doc it wasn't a question of IF I am going to get it, but rather WHEN. Other things also tipped the odds as well. The tricks I found is moderation and measuring. That means using measuring cups and a scale for foods.…

There can also be medical reasons to gain weight with low calories. A friend's thyroid is not giving out whatever chemical that regulates calorie burning. She lives on less than a thousand a day and gains weight. Have a doctor check to rule out medical reasons too.

Remember to be truthful in your eat & exercise diary. Closet eating still counts. That's a trick I learned 200 pounds ago. Measure everything is another. A Tablespoon means A TABLESPOON , not a cupped hand guestimate.

Great goals there, but don't shoot too high! Set goals that are within a real possibility or it could be worse than none. For example, I am very out of shape. My job has been keeping the couch from floating out the window. No walking called for. When I am walking, instead of planning on walking a mile, I cut it into…
