I know we will be walking quite a bit as well. That's a really fun idea for the journal! That would be good for me as well because I can never remember places for pictures either.

I'll be there for a week. So I shouldn't worry about logging?

Mine was "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban.

Mine was "Everything Else Disappears" by Sister Hazel.

I weigh myself on Sunday to input it, but sometimes I weigh throughout the week of curiosity. There is no set time when I'm curious.

Well, you've logged in...First step! Go ahead and log those foods. Don't worry about the calorie count at first. It's a starting point. It's going to take you a while, but you may end up finding something you love! Maybe march in place during your favorite tv show. When you feel like giving up, push through it. You might…

Yuck. Sweet corn.

Actually, there are other fast food joints that have better fish sandwiches, in my opinion. BK has a great one, as well as Wendy's. Arby's even has a decent fish sandwich. Honestly, as I have fish sandwiches at other places, the Filet-O-Fish keeps moving lower and lower on my list.

I don't have "cheat days." If I want something, I will just eat the serving size. Also, if my husband and I go out to eat on the weekend, I don't mind going over that day because I want to enjoy what I'm eating and not worry about it.

Here is a link that explains the fish question. http://dowym.com/voices/why-do-catholics-eat-fish-on-friday/

Here's a little fact for the day: The Filet-O-Fish at McDonald's was created because of Lent. Hamburger sales dropped significantly on Fridays, so they brought this sandwich in to keep their sales at bay.

You don't have to cut back on sweets. Each person decides what they are going to give up. It's not a Catholic-wide thing.

Good to know! I'm just not sure what I can do to increase my calories without searching for junk food to eat.

I had been in "Lose .5 lbs a week" for a while and then switched to "Maintain" once I hit my goal. Yes, I'm still losing weight on maintenance, and yes, actually, my work pants no longer fit like they did. Women's work pants don't usually have belt loops on them, so I have no way of holding them up without a safety pin.

I was shocked that multivitamins were even in the database.

I don't specifically do a cheat day, but if I want to eat something on the weekend that isn't when I eat during the week, I don't sweat if. I ALWAYS track it, though.

When I started MFP again on New Years, I realized that eyeballing does NOT work for me. I always thought that I was doing okay...until I was portioning. Then the weight started falling off.

I feel like it's a bunch of BS. Maybe it's just because I was considered "overweight" at 137. I'm now 132 and BARELY in the "normal" category. I'm 5' 1 1/2" so I look at the weights between 5'1" and 5'2".

The scale weight, for me, was just my goal. My goal was to get back down to the weight that my license says. I had to go up a size in jeans, but within 3 months, I'm needing to get back to my original size. It sucks because jeans are not cheap! I'm just ecstatic because my thighs are smaller and it makes me feel great!…

I said that I usually cringed because I knew my "If you eat like this for 5 weeks, your weight could be...". That's really the only reason. Due to this, I had never thought about it being okay that my calories were higher until I asked the question and got some responses. I don't exercise, which is another reason it made…

I weigh myself every few days just out of curiosity, but Sunday mornings are my usual "weigh and input" day.

I donated a lot of older clothes to a women's shelter. It made me feel a lot better about letting them go!

Does MFP give you those calories, or are you giving yourself those calories? I'm not even working out and I'm losing at my "maintain" of 1800!

Since Sunday, my scale said I've lost 2 more lbs. I'm pretty healthy, so I don't think it's anything more than what I'm eating. I also don't exercise. I just cringe when I go over my 1800 calories, but I'm going to take everyone's suggestions to heart. Thanks!
