  • One or two slices are not bad. The problem with pizza and me is that I ALWAYS want more than one or two... :P
  • No worries... I have the Biggest Loser Game and Your Shape Fitness Evolved, both are pretty good. Honestly though I enjoy the Your Shape game more. You might look into both before purchasing. As far as calculating, I use a heart rate monitor when I exercise that also shows cal. burn. If you do not have one, there is a game…
  • Same here. I tried to replicate what I eat at Subway (Black forest Ham on wheat no cheese loaded veggies) and I was shocked at the calorie difference...I cannot remember the numbers, but I have not been back to Quizno's. Plus I really like Subway's chicken noodle soup.
  • I don't think the calorie burn is so important as long as you are eating under your calorie goal. Having said that, I am burning about 800 to 1000 6 days a week and about 200 to 300 on the 7th day.
  • First of all, LOG, LOG, LOG...Log everything you eat. When I started tracking my food, I was shocked into making better choices, now it has become a habit for me.

  • Absolutely, the weight loss is having a "ripple" effect. I honestly did not realize how often I was passing opportunities up because of the weight. Probably some combination of not liking the way I was looking and feeling physically bad. I still have a long way to go, but I have already come pretty far and the difference…
  • If logging your food in advance works for you...that is great. I just find that when I try to plan my meals or "pre-package" my food I struggle more. I think that it makes me feel like I am dieting. Plus, I am married with two kids (13 and 5) living a hectic life (as we all are) and any time I try to plan anything,…
  • WOW!! Great results, and I agree 100%. I have been unwavering in the path to meeting my goal and I am down 20 lbs since starting Sept.1. I can definately see and feel the difference. Losing every pound kicks my motivation into high gear. It won't be long now and I will be at my high school weight. I can hardly wait.
  • I try to log food as quick as I can after eating...the phone app is a huge tool if you have a phone that supports it. It definately helps keep me on track. Good luck
  • For me it is all about substitutions. We do not do any more prep for meals at home than before, we have just made a shift in the things we buy when shopping (shopping does take longer though). We also eat out alot for convenience and I have been surpised to find that most of our usual stops have pretty decent choices on…
