Thanks everyone- I'm to the point that I don't worry about my protein so much and sugar I just subtract my fruit and milk and make sure I stay under from there. I don't eat all my exercise calories but some of them I do some days. Right now I am exercising 5 times a week at about 40 mins a day then I eat really good during…

thanks- I have been logging all my food and have stayed within my calorie count- do you eat your calories you burn in exercise? I've been about 50/50 on that. I'm not comfortable with the calories they add for my exercise - I need to get my polar back out- I trust that more.

I am so new to all this- I always thought the protein shakes/drinks were for people who worked out. Can you use these drinks in place of a meal then and do they help curve your appetites? I have some Attain on order and was going to use it as a snack to get me through between lunch and dinner since we always eat late so…

Since I have to watch my cholesterol oatmeal is a basic breakfast for me. I have been doing the quaker instant packets and usually add banana's so that helps me get in a fruit also- it doesn't seem like alot when you make it but it does fill you up. I also like to do an english muffin (multi grain) with just a little…

this is exactly why I went to a heart monitor- my elliptical was giving me way too many calories burned. I need to check this runkeeper out.

I just changed my workouts- I aim for 400-500 three days a week and 250-300 two days a week- I take the weekends off usually.

I have the polar f4 also and it fits great- plenty of room left-

I also watch tv- I actually have been watching series- currently watching 24 and Dexter- I stay on the machine for one eposide- I actually look forward to it just so I can watch my shows.

all the way for the DA BEARS- Lets Bear down Bear Fans!!!!!

I just bought the polar ft4- my first one so really have nothing to compare it too but I am liking it. I paid around 85.00 for it.

I just got the biggest loser challenge- I am finding I have a difficult time with doing jumping jacks and skipping rope- i usually just keep moving during these exercises. I have three of Richard Simmons sweating to the oldies- I love them also just not sure what calories I am burning when I do them probably not enough but…

great job- I'm looking foward to my first 20- I am at 14 so far- mine is coming off slower though but I am fine with that. Keep up the good work.

I am so there too---- 3 days of kinda of tracking food and no exercise. I just got off the ellipitcal and it feels so good. Just get back on it tommorow and everthing will fall in place again. I had to throw away all the leftover pies- no will power.

Plain old mustard it is then. Good thing I like mustard. Thanks everyone- I love all the information I get from everyone- very helpful

Thanks for all the info- very helpful- I also noticed how much sugar yogurt has in it. I'm starting to get the hang of this eating healthier- you really do have to read those labels though. Thanks again.

That is what I was hoping to hear- lol! WOW 169 pounds- good for you!!

I will start dieting and exercising after the Holidays- there always seemed to be a Holiday right around the corner- NO MORE !!!!

You look great- I can't wait to buy xl sizes ( that sounds so sad I know-lol). I am stuck at 10 pounds but not giving up just getting started.

This is on my Christmas list- there are two out isn't there?? I think the challenge is the newest one. Wonder what the difference is between them. Right now I do the Wii Fit exercises but I now have a elliptical and bowflex so may back off of these.

Had leftovers- 6 oz pork chop- 1 cup rice-1 cup mixed vegetables.

Great job- i can't wait for that day- it has been 10 plus years since I have been under 200. Keep up the great work

I weigh in every Friday. I do use the wii about 3-4 times a week but don't really pay attention to that- it almost always shows a gain sometime during the week but by Friday I have lost weight every week so far.

Your lucky to have us for support then- please add me as a friend- I would love to be with you during this journey of ours. My husband tells me the same thing also--- your beautiful, you don't need to lose weight....... well I do love him for saying it and I know he believes it but I know how unhealthy I feel. He has never…

I went to my first buffet (Golden Corral) this past Sunday. Needless to say- my first day of not keeping track of my calories. We had buffet around 11:30 then we had eggs, toast, hash browns that night for dinner. I was proud of myself. I started with salad- lots of veggies and no cheese and light dressing. Also had lots…

I'm looking into getting one so good to know all this info.

I too would let him pick- you can always do some research on internet and find what you can eat there- I have even emailed Happy joes when I couldn't find the info I wanted and they emailed me back that same day with my info.

We were potato people all the way- at least 3-4 times a week- now we eat sweet potatoes only once a week at least- we just love them- have even tried the sweet potato fries from Schwans. I use a little butter and lots of cinnamon- yummy yummy

I too have been told these are numbers you need to reach every day so going over is no problem-- YES something we can go over on .

I like the ice tea with lemon or ice tea with raspberry- usually go through a pitcher a day.

3 large slices of supreme pizza with a heath blizzard.......... ok that is what I want but probably having salad.
