Screen name gethealthyincali I ate some candy last night and wrote it down instead of pretending like ir didn't happen.i only went 70 calories over because all this tracking really does seem to help. Starting 260 Week one 256 Week two 254 Lost 2 I'm ok with that. Just need to bump up exercise

I agree with Steve. It's hard to write it down if you ate something you shouldn't, but if you keep up the record you'll see your triggers. Also don't beat yourself up if you aren't perfect - that's the hardest thing for me and I'm working on it daily. if something isn't perfect - so what - it's better than before!

You can customize it to show different percentages if you are ok with the percentages and just worry about the charting. There are many different eating plans out there that are slightly different ratios than this one, so as long as you don't get too extreme it's fine. I'm always going over on protein so I'm changing my…

She's right and it also revs your metabolism so you are fine - main thing is to get better fast!

Not to be a downer or anything for you all up North but there were cases of listeria, salmonella, food tampering, food with unusual objects (like metal) and lots of cases where uhndeclared foods (such as peanuts etc) were in Canadian foods. Sorry about that but I think you all have to be diligent also. :(

If you start to feel weak or sick you can have your doc check your sodium level. I used to keep mine that low with no problems; however, I'm salt/sodium sensitive so I know I have a problem with it. Silverflutterby, if you need to keep yours really low, here's a guy that publishes lots of really low sodium recipes, even…

Welcome! I just started a few days ago also and there is alot of good info on this site as well as very helpful people. If you track your food and exercise - to me that is the most important feature. It's alot easier than some other sites - not as much info needed to get it tracked so I'll probably be more diligent about…

Ditto for me Monicat - especially if you eat bananas! So I added some cinnamon sprouted bread - it's only 80 calories and not so bad on sodium, sugar, starch.Also I figure if I go a little over on protein instead of sugar i can live with that, so I may start adding a hard boiled egg or chicken or something like that - just…

Good luck to you too! I think we have to acknowlege the health issues (something I really like to avoid) and then figure out how to do the best we can. I used to be Type A perfectionist so now I have to say - do a little - it doesn't have to be everything and it doesn't have to be perfect! I can tell you that my mom has…

Please count me in. I need to lose alot more than 50 but this will surely get me in the right habits. Starting 260 Goal 210 Eating plan and exercise may sound lame but it's a start. Beginning 5 min a day 3 times a week working toward 30 min a day 6 days per week. Eating plan is to keep sodium under 1700 and eat 5 veg fruit…
