  • I weighed anything that wasn't premade and jotted it down in my weight watchers journal I still have. Just put cals instead of points. I always kept track in a book or journal or would carry a piece of paper around with me if I misplaced those for any amount of time.
  • Then as in when I was eating healthy or when I ate whatever before? Healthy I did 1600 - 1800 : dietary guidelines Back when I got my first house, no idea. I'd eat fast food for almost all my meals because my then husband worked at McDonald's and Long John Silver's and would get me free food from Mc and brought all the…
  • Haha, I don't really think about workouts in general. I do workout after work though if I have time, but it's usually something I forget about or try to sneak a little in on weekends. I walk to and from work though, so I get a little exercise that way. @MFPMol: I only work till 1pm latest in general, but I'm so tired…
  • Haha, I get hit on just walking out of my apartment so your opinion doesn't matter <3 And Hot! <3
  • Awesome list! I don't really feel like waking up at 3am just to work out though, I already get up at 4am to go to work. :P
  • Can't really tell... lol So, not?
  • I'm not sure if it's linked to cancer, but I can't eat it. I get violently ill if I eat meat. Most everyone in my family has died of cancer though, so maybe my body doesn't want me to do so as well. :P I'm pretty sure if you go ask California, they'll tell you everything is linked to cancer, so I wouldn't worry much about…
  • The 10,000 steps a day thing might help. I have a Pokewalker from Soulsilver that I've been neglecting to use for a couple years now. That or I could rack up step points on one of my other pedometer pets I've neglected or on my Nintendo DS. I use to walk that much in a day at the minimum because I can't drive, but now that…
  • If that's how you're going to go about thinking on this, than maybe. You should really try to make your own relationship work with this. Communication is key in any relationship, so you're going to have to explain to her why you want to do this. She doesn't have to join in if she really doesn't want to and don't make her…
  • I'm not, but I'm not an exercise kind of person. 5 minutes of 3 - 3.5 mph walking hurts and I have asthma. I only did about four seasons of any sport throughout my entire school career, so I also have no muscles and no real experience doing anything at all. The most walking I do is grocery shopping for thirty minutes and…
  • My guy ended up jumping right off the support bandwagon as soon as I started eating healthier. He eats out almost every single day for every meal and tries to get me to do the same. Friday he ordered pizza, McDonald's and then took me out to lunch the next day. I have to basically lie and say I'm not hungry so we can skip…
  • Do dancing and laser tag actually count as exercise? I did both for my son's birthday and I was fine after about 30 minutes.
  • I'd love to bicycle, but I've already had two bikes stolen that were double-locked and put up, so that ones a no... Does anyone know how those stationary bikes compare to a real bike? We have some of those in my gym. And as for walking, would it work just as well to increase the distance instead of speed? I seriously can't…
  • Haha, I guess it's just me. No one ever seems to reply to my posts... so yeah, just trying again in case anyone attempts to read this. Trying to find suggestions for starter exercises for someone who is rather weak and easily winded. A lot of the races around here seem rather fun, like The Color Run, but I have trouble…
  • Oh wow! This is a wonderful idea. I have 5 lb weights and I can put them on the Wii board to see if it says they weigh what they actually do. Awesome tip! :3
  • I haven't actually used it with the Wii Fit game yet... so I'll see if I can hook the thing up and find the disk this week. And yes, a half-inch thick measuring tape is what I use for sewing, the kind you roll up, not the metal, retractable tool ones. I usually use it for patches or other projects, so I feel a little…
  • Thanks for posting this. I'm a pescatarian so the non-fish meaty items would be off my list, but it makes me think more about budgeting. I only have about $80 a month for food for myself as I have a little guy who eats $150, plus snacks for my fiance. I'm in Arizona, so the cost of living is pretty cheap here too. Not…
  • Will... will they let you do that? There are three around my area, I guess I could try that. @ runningagains: I have a measuring tape for sewing. I've never really thought to take my own measurements as a way of tracking. I wanted to track weight in order to figure out my BMI, but I guess that should do. I'll also see…
  • I probably don't get enough iron. I take a multivitamin, but I know that doesn't absorb well. Most of the food I eat is when someone else pays for it, like my fiance always wants to hang out by going out to lunch. I just buy whatever is heavily discounted. I don't eat meat besides fish, and even then I try not to spend $6…
  • Thanks. Will this work on carpet or will it cushion it? @ Scheezo: No... I just googled it though and it looks rather interesting. I'm on the west coast, so not sure if we have anything like that.
  • I have next to no money and I know the cheap $15 scales are inaccurate, that's why I don't own one. Thanks for the sarcastic rudeness though. :)
  • I actually started eating gelato again when I decided to lose weight. Something like Ben & Jerry's I'll end up eating the entire carton in one 10 minute scarf fest. With gelato though, I'll just eat one spoonful at a time and savor it. Usually no more than 2 bites a day. It's way more satisfying and I adore the Breyers…
  • Thank you! I really like the idea of notes on why I eat. I already track what I eat, the why might help though. No food shopping hungry would probably be best... I have lots of really nice cookbooks that my fiance just bought me, so I should really try cooking more. I adore cooking, but for some reason I've noticed I've…
  • Hello everyone! *curtsies* I'm looking for some girl pals to support each other. I am looking to lose 100+ lbs in the next year or two as my health is bad. Friends with similar goals, around the 5'2 mark, in their 20s and willing to log daily is preferred. ~ Also, anyone into anime or the Lolita fashion would be nice too!…
  • I'll look at my before and after pics if I ever get finished, but my face never has really been fat. Even when I've been very overweight, my face is almost exactly the same weight / look wise as when I'm 119lbs. Lucky me!
  • I already know my blood sugar is messed up as I'm hypoglycemic and if I could afford a nutritionist then I'd be able to afford eating the foods I actually like. Money has always been a huge issue for me. Though I am curious, what are energy gels? I'm going to have to try harder on the fruit, I've been eating as much of it…
  • Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with tea somewhere in my day whether it be afternoon or late.
  • It's fine. I ended up doing the same thing this morning. I just hope the scale reads the same tomorrow or better. ^_^
  • I totally stopped eating healthy and exercising. I eat what I want now and don't really track it, but it's not like I ate junk in the first place. I'm now back to losing weight since doing this and I'm even starting to feel a bit better. I'm thinking about joining a walking group in my area, but that's about it for…
  • Just thought I should bump this up there since it's been almost a month. We have three members so far and it would be great to have more to get the group chatting seeing as we're all on every day! <3
