Ah! Thank you!

So you do nails? I know this idea prob doesn't sound glamorous, but your post made me think of my friend. He goes for a beach walk, and the first half he thinks about all the challenges, past and perceived for the future, and then on the second half, he changes the focus to all the accom Lush nets, and the pride of turning…

Looks like a great site, thanks! I'm going to a pot luck, I think I will try to make one of the salads!

Pinki, You are so right. I try to get as many fruits in with my smoothies, but I am sorely lacking in salads and veggies. And yet, when someone makes a good salad, I love it! Thank you so much for your input, I'm going to try to work on this.....hmmm, hope I am not just saying that! I was brought up in a big family of…

Thank you!

Hi and thank you for the tip, so question, please: how do I open up the diary? Many thanks, didnt know it was closed! I've not been as good with food lately as I just did a cholesterol check- in and expect to do very well, but since the, have been "celebrating" a bit, perhaps with wrong food.....I'll see if I can figure…

This is really cool! You guys still doing it ? Too late to jump in?

What kind was it please?

I'm not sure, but here's what I am starting to think. It takes abt 1200 to just run the body. If you exercise, then you burn more calories and can afford to eat more. But at minimum, you need to eat the 1200. Someone posted that you should try to eat anywhere in between your 1200 and your calorie goal. If you eat closer to…

Tnx.... So much to learn here....used to seem so simple, right? Eat less, lose!

Hi! Thanks all.....pandorian, that worked, though it seems ironic that if you say you want to lose less per week, your calorie goal goes up and then you might lose more if your calorie goal is higher! ( eating more.....)

If your food intake goal is 1940, then you should try to take in 1940.......right?

" Your net should be close to your goal" ......assuming that you are correct in saying so, thank you! I needed a simple statement of what the point is!

Hi, I will be very interested in seeing how people answer your post, cuz that's a good question.....

I think that helps, another month and I won't be able to do so much exercise...it is mind boggling to think I should be eating more...just had two toasted honey and almond butter sandwiches...I am stuffed! But what you say makes sense, so I will try it...thanks so much...

Net should be Close to goal? Help me understand please! Goal : 1230 Food:1623 Ex: -1435 Net: 188. I thought the goal was to get the net to zero? Cal remaining 1042. Don't even know what to do with that! Ugh! Frustrating! Thanks!

So then, what's the ideal for losing - in a healthy way? Every time I think I get it, I get confused again....Is the idea to get the net as close to zero? Thanks..."

I agree ...sugars are hard to keep out!

Oh, thanks....just googled calorie dense.....rice, beans...will continue to look into it...tnx again..

Hi, I am new here, so I'll see how things go. If its of any help....im trying (despite my deviance today) to think what I put in my body I want to be energy - all this processed stuff is not energy - its chemicals..tasty chemicals sometimes, I'll admit. But if I can continue to develop this perspective, I am hoping it…

You have done incredible work! Congratulations! Am new here and trying to trim down a few and eat better, and you are an inspiration!

I'm just starting out here, but I make a smoothie with coconut milk, gnc chocolate , add fruit, a little almond butter, yogurt, and cinnamon. The fruit is melon and/ or blueberries, whatever I have....I love them....
