Taking your measurements is a good alternate way to check your progress. Sherrill

Is there a monitor for this web site? Is there a right way to follow this program or is this even a program? I have read some post that say that if you aren't going to do it a certain way, that maybe this site isn't for you. I'm confused. Thought this was just a way for anyone to chart there food and exercise. Period.

Hi Julie: Thanks for the thumbs up!! I wish some of these gals would understand that they can't be so rigid. It will backfire on them. I know. I've been there, done that. It is just too stressful. Sherrill:smile:

Hi: I finally lost 3 pounds. I know it was a combination of water and exercise. The exercise helps so much. I feel better. Drinking water keeps the body hydrated so I don't have all that water weight. Feeling pretty happy today and more motivated!! Sherrill:::smile:

TOPS is for taking off pounds sensibly.

A lot of you might disagree with me but I think trying to record every calorie is a bit obsessive. I think it's great when you are first starting out and learning about your eating habits. But there comes a time when you need to trust yourself enough to eat without fearing that extra 10 calories. This may become the…

Hi Andybear: Yes, I would like to know what you think of TOPS. I think I will increase my exercise so I can meet my goals with more confidence. I have a thread going for over 50s so please join us since you are going through menopause. Have a great day:smile: Sherrill

Hi: I have been dieting off and on for about 12 years so I know that what you have said is true. I would like to put my food and exercise log on the message board to see what others think I might want to change. It would be nice to have some input from someone else. How would I do that? Can I copy and paste? I think it is…

Hi: I have been recording everthing I eat but then I go back and find that I forgot something. It is so easy to not notice hidden calories. For, example, I thought the lite cranberry juice was low in cals. I looked at the bottle and it had 40 cals ber 1 cup. I was freezing it and using it as something to chew on instead of…

Thanks Eve!!

Hi: I have some ideas for being successful. I think that anyone that is worried about the number of cals they eat should gradually reduce them instead of going cold turkey. I know that is what will work for me. I put a cap off 1,800. I have been hitting around 1500 and I think it is because I let myself have a little…

Normally I don't use computer programs that you have to add everything each day. I find that this can be frustrating and take a long time. I am getting better at it with patience and just adding more and more of my personal foods. I am 56 years old and would like to lose 20 to 25 lbs. I am really stuck right now. Haven't…
