I weigh myself daily because I am trying to track a little closer what my daily habits do for or against me. That said, your body can fluctuate up to 2lb per day so weighing weekly or monthly is a better option for most people.

It could be tendinitis. Repetitive motion with the same area of a body can wear down tendons and even cause tears. If it is severe, it will need to get checked out...

Have you tracked how much sodium you are eating?

I am cutting most potatoes out of my diet (especially fries), but I was in Chick-Fil-A last week and thought I should go with something like Cole Slaw instead of fries. That changed when I looked at the Calories, Fat, etc. Cole Slaw was worse than the fries.

I love a handful of baby carrots. I've really cut out sweets so these just seem so good to me.

Could you substitute some kind of sugar free yogurt with fresh berries or plain yogurt with sugar free apple sauce (looks gross, tastes great)?

In many cases it depends where you are getting the extras from. For example, I've seen multiple people say they don't count the fat from certain nuts and avocado because they are the types of fat you need. Its easy to go over on fat if you eat avocado or nuts during your day. I personally try to always stay under my sugar…

On Bear Spray: Please note that this is more of a fog than a spray. The goal is to create a barrier between you and an aggressive animal. It will work for Cougars, bears, moose (more dangerous than a bear), etc. **** BUT **** You could harm yourself as much as another person if the wind is against you or if the person is…

This also works for Guacamole. Just put the stone in with the dip and then avoid eating it.

I'd like to lose about 10 lb by June.

I would never call fidgeting silly. I've read articles that say that people who fidget (especially those who shake their legs constantly like me) burn up to 300 calories per day. I do not include fidgeting as a daily exercise but I do fidget because all the fidgeting I do is like exercise dessert. :happy:

Just remember, calories come from many different things. Eating white bread to get less calories might actually be worse for you than eating a whole grain with lots of fiber and more calories. Don't skimp on your fiber!
