I should have given thought to my April goals around March 30th or 31st. Here it is April 3rd already. Obviously I need to have a goal of not procrastinating. My goals: Try to get closer to a vegan lifestyle. Read food labels more closely. Increase cardio. Investigate adding strength training. Set more specific meal &…

Cashews are my favorite nut. I could eat a whole pound at one sitting! That's why I don't have them in the house.

I like all the tips I've read so far. This is what I try to do: 1. Learn what a portion size is for the food I'm going to eat & stick to it. 2. Don't use food to control my emotions. Look deeper inside to see what's causing me the problem. 3. Be accountable. Log everything in, including food & exercise. (I don't always log…

1966 Chevy Impala Super Sport. It was grey with a black vinyl top. Black interior. Had steel bumpers. Round tail lights. Bought it around 1975. That car took me to work as a teacher during the day & to college at night for my master's.

This is going to be a great support group. We can share with each other what works for us to cope with emotional eating.

Count me in. I try not to eat emotionally but I don't always succeed. There's always some food calling out my name, especially when I am down in the dumps (depressed). Didn't know there were that many of us out there. We can work this through together.

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed it "alot."

My first name Bfly short for my butterfly tattoo 78 for the year I got it. Actually I got it in 1976 but I screwed it up on the user name.

WTG!!! Good for you. That'll show them. Awesome!

Mcintosh all the way! Only one place I can find them in all of Vancouver WA: Chuck's Produce. Yay!

^^This is correct! I used to be a math teacher. Awesome job showing the equivalents. You would definitely get an A+ in my class!

My 7 yr old black lab Floozie lets me know when it's time for her morning meal. (Sometimes @ 4 am) She jumps up & down at the side of the bed, then pushes me with her nose until I acknowledge her. If I don't, she continues to jump on me with her front legs until I get up & feed her. After her 4:30 pm walk she knows she…

Yolks all the way! I only eat eggs about once or twice a month. When I do I want to have the full benefit of the egg. No sense throwing away any of it. Waste not want not!

Started the car & realized my mirrors needed adjusting. I'm sitting lower because I don't have as much padding on my bottom as I had. I noticed I have been adjusting the tilt steering wheel lower to my lap. Also seat belt doesn't cut in across my belly. Now my driver's license weight still lies but it's in the wrong…

I didn't have too much to lose. But when I hit goal I went for mani/pedi. For every month I maintain I put $25 in my wardrobe fund. It's only been 3 months but that's ok. By the time fall comes around I'll have enough for a new winter jacket. The one I have is sizes too big. Also hoping I'll be able to lose some inches by…

Right now it's ooey gooey cheesy pizza!

Black lab. 7 yrs old. Thinks she's still a puppy. Gives unconditional love. Love of my life!

To each their own. It's not my business what you eat or don't eat. I'm a vegetarian & that works for me. Everyone has their own lifestyle & beliefs that work for them. When I go out with people & we're all looking at the menu trying to decide what to have I'll say I'm having a veggie dish They suggest that that would be…

I gain weight from the bottom up but lose it from the top down. Ugh!

Squeaky toys must get a squeakerectomy. My lab does the same surgery on squeakers. Then she rips out the stuffing. She also hiccups in her sleep & snores. Sometimes, as soon as I leave the house she runs across the bed. I know this because if I have forgotten something & come right back in she is at the doorway to the…

It sounds very much like the Cabbage Soup Diet I was on over 30 years ago. It was only a temporary fix. Just to satisfy your curiosity, try it if you think it will work. Me? I wouldn't waste my time & effort on it again.

Thank you for your input. I have read been reading reviews for both the Fitbit Zip & the One. It seems that the One is the way to go. It has everything I could want in a fitness tracker. I'll be saving up to buy it. In the meantime, I'll be working with the one I have. I'll try to be more careful about it not brushing…

Every day--rain or shine--I walk my dog 3 times a day for 20 minutes each @ 2 mph. It only burns 159 calories but it's better than none. Since I am too ashamed of my body to go to a gym (they might laugh me out also because I'm not that coordinated), I walk with the fitness programs on On Demand on TV. Besides walking I do…
