For the first time in 100 days of diligent calorie counting, I did a quick-add of calories. This was National Librarians week and on top of that, tonight was my Book Club meeting. Yesterday I ate 4 chocolate cupcakes. Today I had another cupcake, most of a package of pepperidge farm montauk cookies, and tons of goodies at…

I did SlimFast while in college. After reaching goal weight, I was so happy to be able to eat real food again that I binged one day on a large pizza, cheeseburger, fries. And ended up gaining the weight back. I've since lost the weight again eating real food for all meals. I just love experiencing food too much to be happy…

I recently synched mapmyrun to myfitnesspal and let it record & synch my past two runs. I also use my Garmin with HRM to track my runs. The runs synched from mapmyrun is WAY over-generous with calories burned. Where my Garmin says I burned 240 calories on my run, mapmyrun records me at 400 calories! Way too huge a…

This happened to my son, too. He still can't eat them, and that was 3 years ago. The funny part was that he threw up the Cheetos where having a pulmonary test down. The technician thought he was vomiting blood and we had to reassure her that it's just Flamin' Hot Cheetos'

I ended up spending all day reading this document! ugh... I'm a sucker for research regarding nutrition. Good thing I'm on vacation this week! For myself, I rarely eat out anymore and my sodium intake some days is less than 1,000mg. I found this info to be fascinating although not particularly surprising. I, myself, eat…

Any chips, especially potato chips or Cheetos. Also cake, Oreos, thin mint cookies, ice cream... I just have no self control. I can't buy any of these things to bring home. If I want any of these, I must buy 1 single-serve portion and eat that.

I use vinegar., either balsamic or red wine vinegar. Alternatively, I use homemade salsa or fresh lime juice. I love the vinegar the most, lately.

I used to drink a lot of soda. I trained myself to like sparkling water and now buy it by the case when it's on sale at Costco. When I need a change I squirt lime or lemon juice into it.

Be honest in your logging and don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day. Own it and move on.[/quote] ^ this. Log completely and accurately, even when it hurts

Age 44 SW: 143 CW: 121.5 GW: 118.5 I am small-boned, 5'5". My goal weight is what I weighed when I was at the height of my fitness 3.5 years ago. Then my dad died and my son got Cancer and I sat around eating foods others prepared for me. I'm finally getting my life back.

I made miso-ginger marinated grilled salmon and sesame green beans. Delish!

I need to stop reading these posts about Popsicle sticks... I can't stand it! Just the thought of licking that wood gives me the shivers. I hate that! Glad I'm not alone, though Confession: I often go to bed early so I can resist temptation to eat more. This works!

Me, too. So much is the same question, different day.

I have a couple "secret" social networks I belong to, for this same reason. Family gets a little too involved sometimes.

escargot organ meats Spam, when the can is opened I immediately gag... it smells like nasty canned cat food. cooked spinach: tried it again recently. couldn't do it. There are other foods I don't like but the above seriously set the gag reflex going.

Hi! This looks like "my" group! I'm 44, eat mostly clean and am trying to get fit again. I don't have a lot of weight to lose, just about 7 lbs to go to get to the weight I was 3 years ago, before my son got cancer. I went from marathon training to couch- & hospital-room, researching and care-giving. My son is becoming…

Usually with blueberries. I've used homemade jam as well. Yum!
