I don't eat dressing or I bring my own. Without the dressing it is ok in a pinch.

French frys do gross me out...so I may be crazy but double fried potatoes look like artery clogging heart attacks to me.

My son watched Super Size me 8 or so years ago and has not eaten McD since. Fast food that is high in fat grosses me out. But I always find healthy on the menu. I will eat a McD salad but never a hamburger.

Holy cow $50 for a tie? My husband stops by Steinmart and always gets great ones on sale for $10. He is a very sharp dresser, and he won't pay more than $20 for a tie. But you have to shop the sales, watch the big stores like Dillards, etc. Don't buy cheap, they look cheap. Buy nice on sale.

You can get there again, just keep at it! Your the same person!

I too only have 1200 calories, and I do better when I don't snack at all. I stick with 4 300 calorie MEALS, or a similar mix, that will sustain me to the next meal. When I snack it does not curb my hunger at all, so I just eat more anyway. Most successful is a 200 cal bkfst, 400 cal lunch 300 cal snack and 300 cal dinner.…

I pick a future goal, a 5K race I want to run in 10 weeks, a dress I want to wear in 2 months, a 10K walk to benefit a charity that I sign up to do with friends a few weeks out. Makes me accountable. I have found FP to be the fastest way to keep track and get motivated by people having the same goal.

I just started adding friends and it is keeping me on track. Feel free to add me!

I have done WW a few times. I am too busy to make the meetings, and got tired of the anxiety of weighing in once a week. If I slow down for a few weeks I don't get so upset that I have to pay for those meetings. FP lets me lose weight at my own pace. 3 pounds one week. .6 the next. The stress is off. I started the…

Hey Ken, I noticed you don't track your sugar or fat intake. I think if you switched out a couple of categories and replaced them to track your fat and sugar you would see that the pizza and candy are pushing your totals way high for the day. (set a goal first, google what you should have) Sugar & fat can hinder your wt.…

I forgot to mention, I treat myself everyday to a hersheys chocolate mini for 45 calories...so I eat the junk too..everyday, just a little bit.

I am 48 almost 49 and I was thinking of posting your exact topic. I am using FP for the first time with new friends to stay motivated and it is working. Would love to be friended and encourage each other too. I don't use a personal trainer but I use to be one 20 yrs ago. Thanks, Sandi

Ken, I looked at your diary and I did notice some processed foods. With me, when I don't chose processed foods like ice cream, processed cheese, white bread, etc. and DO choose eggs, natural cheese, oatmeal, 100% wheat bread, coconut milk, nuts, etc. I always lose. Same amount of calories but healthier. Ex. So today I had…

Love my Planet Fitness membership, my 17 year old son loves it too. No models in skimpy wear or matchmaking going on, everyone just looking to get in shape. They have no classes (which I have done my whole life and taught for 10 years), but I use thier personal training classes which are free, lift, run, bike, elliptical,…

I was a definite couch potato and took the YMCA couch to 5K program 3 years ago it was 12 weeks.
