Drinking vinegar and lemon juice 3x a day is hard on your teeth's enamel.

Some of the time I have no problem staying on track and it is easy. Then I go through periods where I want to eat the house and I struggle. The nice thing is that I now know when I am struggling that I will get back to where I am on track and it is easy again.

Happy Wednesday everyone! @rickweinberg - Yes we do pick our battles. @cbabie - You and your dad are in my prayers (((hugs))). @theslightedgeforever - I am glad you are feeling better and able to work your way back on track. @FitPhillygirl - Hi, it is good to see you. @bugmom92 - I know it can get ugly but try to track…

Go to You Tube, search low impact workouts, and then watch some of the videos until you find some that you think you can do and try them out. I watched a mess of videos until I found some that I could safely do.

Good afternoon everyone, @rickweinberg - You are right we all get our confidence in different ways. I think in many ways being a parent is a never ending battle. We win some and lose some. But like our weight we keep moving forward slowly but surely. I got my exercise in today. I did a half hour extra since I took…

Hi everyone, @rickweinberg - I think I will make that my new mantra, take two steps forward. My youngest daughter and her boyfriend were making supper in the kitchen on Friday. Her BF was mimicking his father, "If you clean up as you go, there will be less to clean up after you are done eating..." My daughter, "Ak don't…

Food or bathroom scale?

Good afternoon everyone! I hope everyone is having a nice Sunday. It is in the low 30's here and the sun is shining, we are having a heatwave lol. I got in an hour thirty minutes of exercise today. Still trying to do damage control. It was not a good eating week for me. @rickweinberg mentioned a journey of a thousand steps…

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a good weekend. @bugmom92 - I am sorry you have been sick, glad you are on the mend. It is good to see you. <3 @rickweinberg - I really like #4. That is one I am going to have to remember. It also transfers over to when I am cooking something that I don't cook that often. Yay for…

Good afternoon everyone, happy Friday! I hope everyone has an awesome weekend. @rickweinberg - It sounds like you are on track and have your weekend planned out. Swimming sounds like fun. I used to both downhill and cross country ski. Like you say being dressed for the weather is everything. @gemwolf110 - Even with all the…

You can push tare/zero button between adding different things to a plate or bowl as well. It is awkward at first, but it soon becomes second nature. Something else I did was weigh all of my pots, pans, dishes, etc. and made a list. That way if I forget to push tare after dumping something into the container I can just…

Good afternoon ladies and gent, @rickweinberg - Hi welcome! @gemwolf110 - Yay for making it to the gym!

I love it. I eat the chocolate flavor as a snack and cook with the regular.

I have been on Seroquel for years. I have lost 67 pounds. Yes I gained some back when I wasn't watching what I eat, but when I can stay focused on my eating I lose weight. I am back watching my calories and the weight is coming off again. The exercise I do has the added bonus of making me feel better mentally s well. I…

Good afternoon ladies, @theslightedgeforever - I am glad you are on the mend. Sorry about your dentist. @cbabie - Sometimes the WHY is elusive and sometimes it changes. I think when we are focused and follow through, that it is something that we need in our life at that particular time. @trooworld - When I was young back…

Take it one day at a time and take small steps so you don't overwhelm yourself. Just log for a week and go from there. The neat thing is you have experience and getting back into the routine will be easier because you know what works for you.

Pasta and rice are usually weighed raw. Since the water content of cooked can vary.
