It worked for me. I joined after Thanksgiving and have lost 7 lbs since then. I didn't lose any weight over the Christmas/New Year's holidays, but I didn't gain either, which is a big deal for me. It was that time of the month for me beginning on 1/1 and I usually put on a couple pounds then, but I didn't. You guys are all…

I never get anything at rest area vending machines, unless it's a diet Coke or something. But this time I actually bought a 6-pack of 12 oz. diet Cokes just because they're cheaper than what you get at a convenience store. As far as convenience store food, whenever I can I stop at Quik Trip, because they have fruit and…

I'm not "dieting." I'm treating this site as a way to learn how to eat healthier in a sustainable manner, exercise more on a regular basis and lose weight in the process, while enjoying everything I like to eat in moderation. So I log everything, even the cinnamon on my oatmeal, and difficult things like that pre-Hannukah…

Yeah, I started out on the Beginners Forum, but they became mean and a little too R&R-like once, so I fled to L&O.

MorganaRuns. Cris and I are obviously on the same wavelength regarding usernames.

This is all I've ever known. When I was a kid, my Mom used to give us an apple and cheese or something as a snack after school. She always prepared it for us and gave us the portions in a little bowl. She certainly would have never allowed us to take a bag of something to the TV room and she never would have let us get our…

Lots of great suggestions here. A lot of what has helped me has been mentioned. I have also tried to really reduce processed foods and focus more on whole foods. When I focus on whole foods, I lose the cravings for junk. The occasional treat is that much better then. I also try to get a good balanced diet with a variety of…

Cool. I took a brief glance at that tool, because I'm considering creating my own exercise, too: trail running. Even if I run the same slow pace on the trails as I do on the roads, the ffort on the trails is greater, because of the different terrain. What's weird is that I was just a little faster on the trail yesterday…

Once a week for the reasons you mentioned and I've read that weighing oneself once a week at the same time of day (before breakfast for me) will give the most accurate estimate of actual weight loss, as opposed to weighing oneself daily or irregularly.

Welcome! So far I really like this site. It seems to work really well for something that's free.

Wow! You've come a long way! Congratulations! I've been over to the trail running forum a couple times. I had some favorite trails in Kansas that were hard to beat. But since I moved to Georgia, I've found some pretty good ones here, too. The funny thing is that I'm going back to Kansas in a couple weeks, and I'm looking…

Enjoy!

Wow! That's some serious food porn! And it was well-deserved! :drinker:

Cris - This is one reason why I weigh myself once a week (same day, same time in the morning before eating breakfast). That's supposed to be a more accurate estimate of actual weight loss in comparison to weighing oneself once a day or even several times a day. It can take a while for the body to adjust to weight loss…

Hi everyone! It looks like I'll have to work really hard to be worthy of this group! You are healthy-eating, calorie-burning machines!
