I always worry about putting in Canadian brands unless they are really well known, because I don't want to clutter up the food lists. If everyone from South Africa, and the UK put in foods... it might make the site too busy. What do you think? Or should I just go ahead?:huh:

Yesterday, went shopping all day in the big town. Plus I burned 300 calories on elliptical last night. Had too... just to even out my day to 1200! Went to a fast food place, Wendy's, and decided to get a mandarin chicken salad, only used half the dressing package, and drank water. Went home at night to check calories -…

Hi Melly: Welcome! It's been a busy day for me so didn't get on here sooner, but saw you didn't get the traditional everybody saying hi. Fridays, ya know. :bigsmile: Good luck!

Going for my usual walk today in the pouring rain, and started noticing something. I could feel my pants loose on my butt and thought, "Gee, I feel weak right now." Why? Because I always thought I could take on a bear by whaling on it across the nose with a big stick, or knock someone over, sit on somebody and put them in…

I thought I was being really good - bought myself some dill rice chips which are 8 mini rice cakes for 60 calories. Only problem was it came in a bigger bag. So I thought, well I can have 6 more and then it's only 100 or so calories. An hour later - 8 more wouldn't hurt. It's only another 60. I finished the whole @8%^&#…

Sarah, I definitely track my walk with the dog. He's a high energy large poodle so it makes for a good fast walk. lol Your doggy is very cute!

This may sound silly, but I've promised myself a new bra when I get down another 5 lbs. lol The reward for me is looking in the mirror and starting to see some definition instead of a double chin. There you are! :bigsmile: Thought I'd lost the young woman in me, all I was seeing before was my mother and grandmother in the…

The bestus of luck Shannon! All you have to do to succeed on this site is enter everything you eat every day and throw in a bit of exercise. If you follow the calorie amounts - Voila! :wink: Pounds lost.

Hello Jenn! Welcome! :flowerforyou:

Started October 14th at 210 (I thought) Was 195 last week (I thought) Bought a new scale right after posted 195 last week, and found out I was actually 197.5, bummer! lol Our old scale would change weight every time you stepped on it, and it was a dial one. Every time it moved, you'd have to fix the dial back to 0 and it…

Be quiet about the 85 degrees! lol I love the heat. :glasses: Bundled up toque, gloves, orange poofy winter coat, wool socks, sweats, wooly top, and went for an hour walk with the dog through the Provincial park. Mountains capped with snow, all the trees covered in a frosty blanket, sky bright, river, squirrels and jays…

Hi EDR EDucated Resourcefulness: Just remember to enter your calories and exercise on this site, and you'll do great! Good luck!

Hi Lori. Welcome! And best of luck to you!:smile:

This sounds very healthy and good for you!

Welcome Meg!

Yesterday, laid off the exercise equipment - drove to the river, and walked along beside the river in through the brush, and along the gravel. Sun shining - wind blowing... almost expected a tree to crash on us, but it was fun. Then drove to the top of a canyon and walked along the edge of the canyon area. Dark storm…

Hi Deb! Hip Hip Hooray! Must be all that rice and fish! lol Congrats! and keep on keeping on! Blessings :happy:

Hi Tara and Cherry! Welcome to both of you! :happy:

Thanks! for the not old comment..woo hoo! And for all the good advice! Listen to my body and take it easier for a day or two - sounds good to me. I have been stretching before exercise, but not after -so more stretches! I tried Pilates last night. And I'll lay off the elliptical for a week, and see if I see any…

Hey all. I've been sticking to this, throwing in my extra exercise in the evening, if I go over my calories. Not mega-dosing on exercise, trying to take it easy... but every morning I am waking up with the hunchback of Notre Dame syndrome. It takes me about 1/2 hour of walking around the house, and doing some stretches…

I've tried Weight Watchers with the support group and it worked for me a long time ago. Since then have tried to eat as healthy as possible, but always had trouble losing weight even with being able to do 15 miles on the elliptical and 5 miles on the bike. Just working back up to that again, as took some time off and lost…

Hi Bunny! Just to let you know this site does work! Congratulations! A baby girl.....bet she's cute as a button. Good luck with your toning!

Welcome, both of you! Good luck! :wink:

Hi Joanne: No comment on the low-carb. Just saying hello and welcome!!:smile:
