LOL I think I have everyone beat. I lost about 320 pounds - my ex-husband and my sister who had an affair with him. Um, yeah my life is like a Lifetime movie. :tongue: :laugh:

Thank you everyone!! Again, I love this site! :bigsmile: I packed the cooler and I am off to bed. Thanks again.

You are brave driving through the night. I have made the trip but never just my son and me. I aqm sure it will be fine. I am actually pretty excited about it.

I did get 2 books on audio. I teach high school (boys :bigsmile: ) so I figured I may make use of the time in the car and listen to one or two of the novels.

Seriously!!! Like it isnt hard enough going through this without seeing ads like that! Again, thank you all of you and this sight is amazing.

Thank you everyone!!! I found my mistake and you saved me wasting a TON of carbs on something that wasn't worth it. :happy:

Okay. Thanks again. I appreciate it bc I use them in my smoothies and dont want to waste more carbs than necessary.

Thank you!!! I will check on that. That was why I was so confused. lol

I have been there. It is extremely difficult not to let a cheat turn into a binge. Not sure if this helps but what i do is try and figure out what it is I am craving and google or try and come up with a substitue. For example, if I want chocolate I will eat sugar free chocolate pudding or if I have a taste for pizza I will…

Also, once I have it set at the calorie intake and food raito I want, do I add in and/or eat back calories exercised? That part of the equation always confuses me.

Thank you very much that does help! I agree with the protein being too low. Is there a site where I can calculate a good ratio?

Can someone help me with my calorie count? I would really appreciate it. :smile:
