My old scale broke my heart. It told me I weigh 6 lbs less than my doctors told me. It ruined my whole day. 6 lbs is alot to get off and I felt sad the rest of the week. ugh. I need a good one too.

Starvation Mode: Dispelling the Myths If you've been on a diet, you've surely heard about it. The dreaded starvation mode. How many people have said to you, "be careful not to dip below 1200 calories. Your body will go into starvation mode and you'll gain weight." Or, what about, "Oh, you're not eating enough, that's why…

I try to never eat my calories back! I am here to lose weight and if I ate them back I wouldnt lose. I also occassionally fall under my calories goal but as long as Im not hungry, it doesnt bother me because I know I am eating healthy and my tummy is not growling. Once I get closer to my goal weight, I will worry more…

I would log it! Im sure you burn alot by moving those arms and climbing up and down a ladder! I know when I paint a room or two, my arms and wrists hurt bad the next day!

Carbs, sugar and salty foods.:cry:

Howdy neighbor! I live in Granger, IN and you can add me for support. I have just lost 18 lbs in here. Be true to yourself and add EVERYTHING you eat, even if it is a bite of candy or a whole gallon of iced cream. lol. You will perfect this as you go and you will learn things that I have learned and cant believe. So much…

Dont give up! What helped me most was I was a saltaholic! Loved salty foods. I also gave up all white foods....white rice, potatoes, sugar, pasta's, except for once a week low glycemic pasta. My first month my weight just fell off. Also drink lots of water and stay away from the juices! :wink:

McDonalds Mocha Frappe's!!!! OMG they are so good in the summertime!!!! I wish they could make them sugarfree. I also have the worst time with craving salty foods!!! Love cheesy puffs of any kind and chips and salsa or ranch dip. OMG.

Thank you. I was a salt a holic and when I started this journey, I gave it up and I think the first 15 was water weight. It slowed down now and took almost 2 weeks to lose 2 lbs. Nice to meet you and thanks.

Awesome, I cant wait to lose that much!!! and more!!!!! Be proud!

I have to track my sodium. I have high blood pressure and I want to get off these pills!!!!!:ohwell:

You go to settings and you can actually make your own columns. I have and at the bottom of your diary you will see "printable version". I open that just to see all at once since you can only shoose 4 colomns. Hope that helps . I go over on my sugar and I am so trying not to because I found out I am prediabetic. But I…

Yummy, but what is the calorie count on these delicious looking things? OMG! MMmmmm!:bigsmile:

Add me if you want!:wink: I too am border line high cholesterol and prediabetic.:sad: Also high bp. I had my wake up call this time.:embarassed: I lost 50 about 6 yrs ago and let myself go when I lost my folks just 5 mths apart.:brokenheart: Now its time for me to get this right once and for all and not become full blown…

Yep I am right there with you!!!!! I just account by not eating past dinner unless it is fruit, or jello or a few crackers or yogart. We can do it, buy you are right.....its hard because you cannot go out and do things like you can in the daytime. And I also found out that Im deficient in Vitamin D because of it. So my doc…

That is awesome. I hope to do that too. I lost and gained more back than I lost as well. Im proud of you and I hope I can do it and keep mine off this time. I had a wake up call of being prediabetic. Congratulations to you!

Way to go!!!!!!!!!!

Great job....walking works!!!!

We do!!!!! My hubby works from 6pm to 6am and we have crazy hours or we wouldnt have time to be together. I try to stay up til around 5 am and get all my chores/whatever done. People think we are crazy but we live and sleep normal hours. But it is still hard. We get up around 1pm ..him around 2 or 3 and we begin our day…
