I try to eat clean too, and I count calories. I know both have helped me lose my weight. I don't know what I'll do when I reach my goal weight, but for now, counting works, so don't feel bad!

That's what I kind of figured! Thanks!!!! I haven't tried the free step yet. I feel so uncoordinated and messy when I do the regular beginners Wii step! hahaa

oh how can you watch TV at the same time. I would love to know. I have to change video/tv mode to get to the right "channel" for the wii. I googled, and it looks like free running works well with TV by just changing the tv/video mode Is that what you do too? THANKS!

I love the food diary. I would be lost w/out it. I can access it on my iPhone or my computer, and there's no excuse to not log in my calories!

bump for later!

Thank you for explaining it! PS go pats!!!

I thought natural whole food sugars shouldn't be lumped into sugar. Because there's fiber along with the sugar to slow down the "process" of sugar in your blood. I am not a diabetic, but I don't necessarily worry about whole fruit and veggie sugars and I mentally deduct them from my sugar total on my diary. Since you are a…

Don't know if anyone cares, but QVC has Ali Vincent, the biggest loser (first woman) on today. The BL Scale is the Today's Special Value. I watched her last night at midnight for a little while, explaining all the BL merchandise. Most of it looked like plastic crap, but it was fun to see her. I am currently reading Ali's…

Congratulations! It sounds like a great opportunity to inspire others! But I feel your pain, I would be nervous too, but once tou start talking, you'll relax. You'll do a great job!!!

Thanks Stephanie, I think I might just wait until the spring then. I can't deal with the winter cold. brr. Maybe I will start a little on the treadmill though. I dunno. I don't have any race plans, but ya never know!

I would love to try it maybe in the spring. does anyone do it on a treadmill? or are you all outdoor runners?

The iPhone app is in beta mode right now, and I think it's waiting on Apple for approval. What are you having trouble with using the site on your iPhone? Are you using the old or new web site version (there's a new version) The only problem I have with the web site on my iPhone is changing my exercise calories and if there…

Walmart has it for pretty cheap $, or maybe your library has a copy. I found the first one at my library, and read some of it. I did find the grocery one was the most helpful for my needs.

Check to see if your local library or library Consortium has a copy. I just checked online on my library's site, and they have a copy in another town that I can request.

Nope, it's Don't Eat This Book, it's by the Supersize Me guy. A great eye opening book! I get audio books from the library and listen on the way to work. :) http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Eat-This-Book-Supersizing/dp/B000NO1CPA/ I do have the Don't Eat This, Eat That, and yeah, the series is good. I have the grocery one....but…

I don't know what's up with Rudy. It's too bad. When I see him with his family, I warm up to him and I like him, but then he keeps pulling these "game" moves, I dislike him all over again. I was bummed Rebecca was voted off, but I think she was happy to be home. and it was cool to hear she is dating Daniel!!

I eat healthy at all times of the day, and continue to lose weight. I don't think skipping a meal is healthy at all, especially breakfast!

That is incredible!!!! Congrats on such a wonderful and happy accomplishment!

good luck!!!!!

I took a quick peek at your food diary, and I am no expert, so take this with a grain of salt (so to speak) but where are the fruits and veggies? I don't see many in your diary. Could be you aren't listing them, as I don't always list them on mine, since most of them are freebies....but your fiber looks very low. Don't see…

cals, sodium, fat, sugar, fiber, calcium I sometimes switch them out and around, it's nice to be able to easily to that. I do wish there were one or two more slots that displayed though.

They ARE (not almost) doing a commercial right in the middle of the show. They get paid for those ads! A lot of "actors" or tv personalities get paid big bucks for stuff like that. it's just that it's so over the top, in your face, blatant that it doesn't look natural at all. Bob is not a good actor. LOL It's hard to trust…

oh I just found this conversation on the BL. I love the show. Yeah, I was disappointed that they voted Shay off the show, but when I saw her on Leno, I felt better. She is doing alright! The thing I really hate about this show is the blatant product placement ads for food products or something. HATE that!

Yay! congrats on making the right decision by going to the gym, instead of eating. REMEMBER that proud feeling and use it to fight off temptation when you have the same decision to make in the future! As for your DH changing, I agree with the others. Someone who loves you isn't going to call you fat and ugly, they are…

A BALANCED diet is the key to losing weight. If you want to reduce carbs, remove all the processed sugar and refined flour from your diet. And only eat good quality high fiber whole grains, veggies, fruits, etc.

If you want something natural for anti-nausea, try ginger pills. Or maybe the doctor can prescribe something less strong for you. You won't need to take the meds until December, I assume, right? Just keep sticking to your calories, and you will do fine! Try to eat healthy filling foods, like whole grains, fruits, &…

I have been taking my vitamins, calcium, and vit D regularly now. I was always so forgetful before. Now that I have them included on my food diary, I always have a reminder!

that is completely false! I pay off my credit card EVERY month down to zero, and I have no problems with my credit or credit score. I have cards that I don't use anymore, and they do not close the acct.

I don't know if this is the same brand you are taking, but I found these ingredients online from walmart Dicalcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Crosscarmellose Sodium, Stearic Acid, Hyrpomellose, Magnesium Stearate, Silica, Hydroxypropyl Cellulose. Contains Soy. doesn't sound like anything I would want to put in…
