Thank you all for your tips. You are the best! I know it's psychological when I keep eating after I overdo it earlier in the day.

Once I click on the diary tab at the bottom it looks the same as always.

Oatmeal, skim milk, raisins, tea.

Thanks!

How can I save this link so I can come back to it?

We have a woodstove in our living room which I like to keep toasty in the winter, about 70 or so. Our bedroom stays 66 or lower because we keep our oil heat set to that for the night when our woodstove cools down. We have an electric heater for our bathroom just for bathing time. In the summer we just use fans, no air…

I never thought to do that with a drumstick! I do it with something like a banana, weigh the whole thing and then weigh the peel when I'm done. I'll have to remember that next time I have a drumstick.

I bought a food scale and started measuring my portions and logging everything.

Mindful eating never worked for me. I just couldn't separate the emotional side of food from the need for food. Weighing and measuring is the only way for me to stay objective about it and it has worked for over four years now.

Everything is closed here. Restaurants are take-out or delivery only. At first the grocery stores were wiped out of bread, meat, toilet paper, sanitizer, etc. People have calmed down a bit. You still might not be able to find exactly what you usually buy but you can get something. I still take my daily walk. I'm retired so…

Just watched my grandson while my daughter and son in law went out to lunch for their anniversary. Five years! Doesn't seem possible! Spring is coming. Today is the first day of Yankees pre season games. Shirley from Northern NY

Got an email from Garmin stating that they have received my Vivofit and will notify me when the replacement is sent. I discovered the calorie problem with Map My Walk. I had created my account when I was 30 pounds heavier and that was still in my info so it was saying I burned more calories. I changed my weight entry and…

So while I'm without my Vivofit my husband suggested I use Map My Walk for my daily walk. Today was my first time using it. It gave me almost twice as many calories burned as my Vivofit did. I know that info can't be totally depended on but wow! What to believe? Shirley from Northern NY

Grrr. My Vivofit died. I went online and discovered I'm eligible for a free repair/replacement but I will be without one for who knows how long. I will just deal with it but it doesn't make me happy.

I usually take our Christmas decorations down when hubby is off skiing so he's not under foot ;) so they came down on the 2nd. I liked the top he got me for Christmas so much that we went to Kohls today and I got another one. I'm still working on replacing my too big clothes but I still have to wear some of the baggy ones.…

The last item ordered for Christmas should arrive today. So stressful. Relatives keep texting me for gift ideas for my hubby and children. The kids have been married and out of the house for a few years now. I have a hard time thinking of things to give them myself let alone coming up with more ideas for other people to…

I managed to take my usual walk today. The air temp is 2 degrees with a wind chill of -7. Am I crazy? Maybe. I did my gift wrapping this morning. I have one more thing yet to arrive. Shirley from Northern NY
