Everyone has a bad day now and then. The best thing is just to get right back on track. Don't beat yourself up about it. Acknowledge that you had a bad day and move on. :smile:

I agree! See too many people "loosing" weight

I am not tracking! I will try not to overdue.

Meds and Therapy works for me. Also exercise

The best bars are the balance bars. They are 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat.

Hi I am Mary and I am 58. I would like to lose about 60 to 70 lbs and I also deal with depression. I am a firm believer in keeping a log of what you eat whether you are having a good day or a bad day. 8 years ago I weighed 300 lbs and managed to get down to 139 lbs. Because of losing a job I got pretty depressed and…

I like that! This was supposed to be in reply to srcardinal10. I haven't quite mastered how to post to a post already on the board.

I track my food on here and in a notebook and that includes the "bad" stuff. I have a personal trainer who checks my log and weighs me once a week. I don't own a scale because I would be weighing myself every day and I personally don't think that is a good idea. I am also accountable to myself, As a previous poster said I…

You can also buy Vitamin Water Zero! There are people who say drink 8 glasses a day and other people who say you don't have to. A lot of foods have water in them anyway. Someone told me you should drink half your body weight in ounces. So if you weighed 200 lbs you should drink 100 oz of water. And there are other people…

Quote: Just because a farmer used pesticide doesn't make it unnatural. I guess the closest would be GMO foods but I don't have a problem eating those. There can be an ethical opposition to them, or a financial one (as adjacent farmers can have a problem). I didn't say that using pesticides makes a food unnatural, however…

If anyone is interested about losing weight there is a book titled Shape Up the 8 week program to transform your body, your health and your life by Jonny Bowden M.A.,C.N.S It helped me when I first started to lose weight and it goes into some of the stuff I mentioned in my original post.

I lost 160 pounds without surgery once! I did gain a lot of it back though and am trying again without surgery. You can add me as a friend and then you can read my blog about how I did it. Best of Luck to you! :smile:

Trainers are great if you find the right one. I have used trainers and got good results with them. They can help you with diet and show you the proper way to use the equipment. Try it out! What have you got to lose!
