1) I’m logging everything. EVERYTHING. Even if/when I go over. This way, the habit and awareness is still there. As long as I log, it’ll never be as bad as it WOULD be. (Admittedly, it’s not as good as it should be either). 2) I’m in a Biggest Loser competition with friends and family. It helps keep accountability, even…

I don’t know if you have a Wawa wherever you are, but they’re usually my go to because they have a very user friendly nutrition calculator online.

Oh! And honey! And alcohol! And cheese! Man, calories really go fast...

Sometimes a smidge of a nut butter or honey with cinnamon. I like making my oatmeal with milk instead of water if I can.

I don’t avoid nuts/nut butters/seeds but I keep in mind how quickly they add up! Same with things like granola.

I've never done a challenge but I am interested. How does it work?

Well, I don't NEED a snack, but I want to try to be economical by packing some things. I have pistachios that I will section out into servings, and we are thinking about single serve oatmeal cups for a few breakfasts to save money and calories... I also want to make sure I'm not so hungry when it's time to sit and eat that…

Thank you! Unfortunately I think this is the one I was looking at that seems inactive

It's beautiful time of year for it! But I'm no where near ready to do this outside! I keep hiding in the living room.

I just found this thread and would love to bring it back. Who out there hoops? I just started and would love some community!

Not in my 50s, but coffee lover just the same!

I definitely intend on embracing it all (in moderation), but I am afraid if I don't log (the good, the bad, and the ugly) that it'll be hard to get back in the habit.

The Pinterest links I found were dead. Did you find any that worked? I would love to just be able to print them. I wouldn't mind making my own for her but I found the lists/portions were good for inspiration and variety.

I've seen it on eBay but it's like $100! I was hoping there may be an alternative.

Edit

I had no idea you could shop goodwill online! Thank you!

Well the obesity and genetics are definitely there! Yikes. I was under the impression that type 2 was not genetically passed, but does run in families due to learned lifestyles. And, someone I know who is probably 120 soaking wet (she's quite tiny) has type 2 that she/her doctor attributes to sugary/carb overloaded eating…

Good advice-- thank you!

Are there any other apps you may suggest?

Thanks for your advice

I could use instagram, but I was hoping for something less linear and more organized by date. It's not necessarily that I want to go back and look at it, more that having a visual record might keep me from making poor choices. A picture can be more confrontational than text in a food log. Meanwhile, good choices are…

This are really great to see! What is your calorie limit for the day, if you don't mind me asking?
