Too late to join the group? I'm 52 and have 5 kg (~11 lbs) to go - I've lost 5 kg in the past 2 months and hope to get the other 2 off by June. My main goal however is to keep up the exercise and the eating habits over the long haul.

Well, I work in SE Asia - and everything seems to come under the category "food" - certainly dogs (I've lost 3 to restaurants!!:sad: ). I am not a fan of goat meat. Snake and pidgeon blood are also off my list of foods I will eat. On the other hand, a lot of the food is really delicious and fresh.

I have little choice but local cuisine but am usually able to figure out a good estimate. My problem is really going back to the US for 8 weeks and all the temptations there (beside the…

Hi: Does anyone travel a lot and long distances - I do, and I am not sure if I just recalculate my calories for the day so that it is a longer day??? Next week I have two Wednesdays - I may sleep through one of them, but of course my timing for eating is way off whenever I have jet lag, so that I am craving dinner at 2…

Is there any reason not to count unsweetened fresh brewed tea as part of water intake - I drink a lot of hot and cold tea during the day but not that much water.

I also get full very easily - and find that multiple small meals work for me. I also often can't get to my goal calories especially with exercise add

I joined about a month ago and found that it really helps to log my foods & exercise. Not sure how much I've lost because I am traveling and no access to a scale - but my clothes feel better:smile:
