Thanks, I will be trying these!

Avett Brothers would be good choice for newer music.

I look at the full report most days and try to get close to the nutritional goals. When I began I focused more on calories, then looked at protein, carbs and fat later. I now make sure to see where I am with Vit A, C, Iron, Calcium, Sodium and Potassium. It is easy to eat a few fruits or veggies to meet Vit A and C. I…

I would suggest Lightly Active as your normal activity level. If you exercise beyond your normal daily activities log it separate.

Kitchen staff that add more ingredients to the meal than it is supposed to have. I will often check the calories and nutrition of a dinner before I go, order it and it arrives with a mountain of cheese on top of the chicken that probably has more calories than the whole dish is supposed to have.

Looks like you are at a healthy weight.

Self perception can be tricky, When I look at myself I don't see as big a difference as other people do. This is especially true when I look at a specific body part, like thighs or stomach, I know they must be smaller because I wear pants that are 4 sizes smaller but I really don't see a drastic change when I look in the…

Congratulations, that is a great accomplishment to be in better shape now than 25 years ago! WOW!

I am 5'3, just turned 41, last weigh in was 151. I have been here over six months and have lost 36 lbs so far. I would like to achieve 125 lbs. I log my food every day, the good, the bad and the ugly.

Go outside, if you are already inside all day stuck at a desk I would think some sunshine and a walk would be something that might just make you smile too! I started walking around my neighborhood, then hiking parks in my town, then I bought a bicycle and now enjoy bike trails too. I had not rode a bike for 20 years and…

I was a 40 DD when I began, I was near 200 lbs. I am now 153 lbs and a 36C.

I bought a bicycle and rode it 6 miles on a beautiful trail. I haven't ridden a bike in over 20 YEARS!!! It is just like the saying, you never forget how to ride a bike.

That is an awesome victory! I sooooo need to get the courage to do just that too! It is intimidating, and you were very brave!

I just ate puffed Cheetos, exactly 13. I realize one serving isn't so bad, however it is bad that I justify it by skipping lunch to make it easily fit into my calorie goals today.

Sugar Free syrups like Torani are great and zero cals. If you get a skinny vanilla latte from starbucks that is what they use to add the vanilla flavor. There are many different flavors to choose from. 0 cals, 0 fat.

Rick Springfield, Working Class Dog Yes, I belted out Jesse's Girl and still will.

I have previously lost 50 lbs through both tracking calories, walking exercise video 3-5 days a week, and also additional walking in my neighborhood or school track when the weather is not freezing. I am following the same path this year to get an additional 50 lbs off. The exercise is great for feeling stronger and more…

I work in a clothing store too, I have lots of regular customers and on Saturday at least 5 noticed I had lost weight and told me I looked much smaller. My co-workers that see me every day even commented at how many customers were complimenting me.

I would have to agree with most of the others, no gift needed for a first date. However, if you have wonderful time and can tell she did too, then I think sending her flowers with a note letting her know you enjoyed the evening with her a day or so after your date would really make her feel special.

I LOVE to hear that! I work for Dressbarn and it makes our day when women come in and are so happy when they have set a goal and made it to the misses side of the store. It inspires us to see women achieve their goals and see their dreams become reality. I have been exactly where you were, I was a size 20 three years ago…

I was plus size three years ago, that was my first goal to make it out of plus size clothes. I still have a ways to go to get to my final goal, but I am never going back to the plus size again. I manage a clothing store that sells both, and while we do get cute plus clothes in, (even maroon skinny jeans) I am sooooo glad I…

I highly recommend Leslie Sansone DVD's. They are a great way to get a quick effective workout. I don't have to buy workout clothes or expensive equipment, just wake up, grab a water and walk with Leslie. I use the 5 mile fat burner and depending on my day I choose to do between one to three miles. I find her to be…
