The risky thing about eating your exercise calories you might end up eating more calories than you "earn". A watch, fitbit, or piece of technology doesn't know Exactly how many calories you are burning, so it's an estimation. Since a calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight, you may not be in a calorie deficit if you…

I find it more accurate to enter each ingredient than choose a generic "scrambled eggs". That person who added the entry probably used oil or butter in their eggs.

Why did 11 people disagree with me?

I am not a professional, nor can I give sound advice because I am struggling as well. I just wanted to say that the first thing I noticed from your chart is that you weigh in every day. You are going to drive yourself nuts. 2nd, you lost 9 pounds in a little over a month! NINE! That's amazing! Some days you eat less than…

The first picture was taken by accident from my webcam and I have to chuckle. I was horrified when I found it on my computer. 16 pounds and 7 weeks between the 1st and last picture. About 50lbs to go, but it's progress!

August 26th, September 17th and October 7th. About 3 weeks in between pictures and 16 pounds lost. Many many more pounds to lose, however.

My Diary is open as well!

This is only 1 month in, a long way to go! 10 pounds down makes a big difference. I stumbled across the first picture that I accidentally took with my computer and was horrified!

Carb Balance tortillas. The medium-sized ones are only 70 calories! I have made pizzas, wraps, burritos, quesadillas and homemade chips with them. Egg whites mixed with my scrambled eggs has saved me calories too, and I can barely tell the difference. Skinny girl salad dressings and skinny girl popcorn too! Tyson grilled…

My goal for today is to fit two walks into my day, even if they are 10 minutes long. It is 50 degrees in North Dakota today!

I add each individual food item and usually add butter, oil, or any condiments that may be in the sauce or used to cook with. If someone served spaghetti, salad and garlic bread, I would enter 1 cup pasta, 1/4 cup pasta sauce, garlic bread, 2 cup mixed greens, 3 tsp ranch dressing, 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp oil, etc. My entry…

I'm in the same boat! We can do this!

I have about 70lbs to lose so my calorie goal is 1400 if I want to lose 1.5 pounds a week.

That's a really good idea. I'll try eliminating one food and see if that helps. I have a small addiction to cheese though...I could eat cheese on anything. I wish there was an alternative!

I thought it might be the sugar alcohols. My sister pointed out how much of my foods are processed. I will try drinking more water this week, staying away from sugar alcohols and watching my sodium.

A few months ago I bought a pair of jeans that were a few sizes too small so I could fit into them by the summer. Tried them on for fun and they fit NOW!

I also have PCOS and have been trying to conceive since last April. I have been on metformin since October and have only started to lose weight in January. It's funny that none of my doctors recommended I lose weight even though I definitely need to, not only for my health but also to increase the chance of conceiving. I…
