  • Oh, here is one BIG timesaver I figured out about logging in my meals. If I tend to make the same thing frequently, use the recipe function! I like to make salads with some basics. So I created a recipe I call Cindy's Salad (nobody sees it but me if I don't click on the share button). I write the recipe with mixed greens,…

  • The best advice I have learned so far is: DON'T MAKE THIS HARDER THAN IT HAS TO BE. Find ways to make this fun and easy. Instead of drudging through the supermarket go to a farmer's market and buy fresh veggies - whatever is in season this week. Try something new - you might really like it. I found a steamer pot at…

  • Yeah, it's been a real workout. I am about half way with the walls. Lots of prep time caulking, etc. Unfortunately, there is no category for "painting" in the options to choose from. No idea how many calories I burned, but my muscles are telling me a LOT. Thanks.

  • That is amazing - you lost enough weight for a whole person! I bow down before you, because I just started January 1st and I'm proud of losing 7.5 lbs. lol Diabetes is a scary thing, I'm sure that was a big motivation - and you beat it!

  • If I go out to dinner on Friday night and really overindulge, I gain 1 or 2 pounds on Monday. My Saturday and Sunday will be normal, but Monday will be up. I decided to have my personal Weigh In Wednesdays for that reason!

  • I had the same problem with carrying my phone while I walk so I can use the MapMyFitness app. I went to Target and got my "arm pocket". They are not cheap, mine was $40, but get a good one that won't fall apart. Be sure and get one made for the iPhone or the Android, they come in different sizes. Mine has room to put in my…

  • Last weekend I was out running errands and my parents asked me to stop at Taco Bell and pick up lunch. They had seen the ads on tv for the new double tacos and wanted to try them. I thought, I'll be good and just get a salad. When I got home and logged it in the Fiesta Salad with Grilled chicken was 710 calories! I could…
