I try to log as accurately as possible. To be honest, I have missed a few items, but I find that I stick closer to the plan when I log as accurately as possible, what I eat. Logging provides two key components to health. 1) Awareness of your daily consumption - that can be an eye opener for many, and 2)..... and I think…

Egg, Bacon and Cheese Soft Taco form the Sodexo cafeteria downstairs in our office building. Add a tsp of Salsa Verde and it is a perfect amount of "on the go" food to get me to lunch. 170 cals and not bad nutritionally:-)

No one is perfect. Just a minor deviation on road full of what we call life. Tomorrow is a new day.....

My weight fluctuates by as much as 3-4 lbs / day. Spend less effort focusing on results and more effort focusing on behaviors. Enter your food as accurately as possible and consistently each and every day. Enter you exercises every time you do them. Awareness of your behaviors is the only way to change them. The scale and…

Check the ingredients list on any packaged food you buy. If it lists sugar under any name (there are about 40 different varieties of Sugars in foods) in the first three ingredients, don't open the package. Check the RDA Values list and try to buy items that have fats and sugars with single digit numbers and proteins with…

Pick a SMART Goal (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time bound ) with regards to what you want to accomplish, develop a…

Don't look for a silver bullet. Lose your weight naturally, they way it showed up. You don't see many FDA approved drugs that promise to increase your body fat, so why should there be one to shed it?

Anything you embark on to lose Weight/Inches needs to be sustainable. Can you live the rest of your life with your imposed dietary restrictions?

You can add me. I have logged for 65 days in a row (working on 66 today) and have an open food diary. I log it all, the good, the bad and the ugly. In my profile, I have committed to log for a minimum of 365 days as history has proven to me, when I record, I am aware and when I am aware, I lose weight and inches. When I do…

There is inherent danger in focusing solely on results. Its like a business that looks at nothing but the bottom line. They lose sight of why they are in business and how they impact the world around them. Often, when we don't get the results we want, we get frustrated and that becomes justification for getting off the…

Getting Going!! "We have a choice every day - to act on yesterday's good intentions or get an early start on tomorrow's regret."

The easiest way to improve statistical performance is to you tell yourself you are doing something good, when you really are not. It has been proven many times over, that it is the least effective way to achieve results, but if you want to think you are being successful, continue to cheat. A best estimate, is still much…

Amazing! Be proud of yourself. You are the envy of may people using MFP and a testament that effort and diligence pays off in the end.

I have been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in both knees with no cartilage at all. I have discussed knee replacement surgery, but want to try to lose weight before any of that goes on. I am currently at 316 pounds, based on a love for good food and a sedentary lifestyle, but have dropped 15 pounds in the past three weeks…
