Keeping warm, eating hot food, sleeping. ugh! but feeling better than two days ago and even one day ago. Encouraging, but at a standstill activity level.

I think I am coming down with bronchitis and feel uggy muggy. Will check in tomorrow. Listing foods and staying under but not legal foods if that makes sense. Thanks for listening.

Good day yesterday for food. Went out to movie and dinner after and selected food to stay under calories for the day. It is going well. Goal is to stay within caloires and make good choices for food. Good to be getting back into a better rhythym with food and self.

Checking in and love reading all the good things we do every day. Read an article last night that said in essence that while we are on earth it is what we bring to others to meet their needs that counts in iife. Getting the job done. Nice to see that everyone is bringing something to their own lives to get the weight off.…

Checking in tonight after checking in this morning and being away for a few months. Weight has not changed, no surprise there, haha, but legal on foods today and just under limit for calories. A good new beginning and being accountable to me by me. Thanks for listening.

I have been gone for awhile. Have not wanted to eat correctly. Will start today listing food to stay at my calorie goal for dropping extra weight. Thanks for listening.

Such festive posts. Great news on getting into RN school. One of my daughter is has her RN. Good jjob. Doing well on under fat calories, under food calories, etc. I feel centered and focused on this weight thing; am being able to visualize a thinner me. Actually looking for a pic of me younger and thinner for motivation;…

Great job niki.....losing is such a wonderful feeling. On the road yesterday, my Sabotage Sunday, haha, ate chinese food with almond chicken, sweet and sour pork, half cup, fried rice, three fourths cup, spring roll one only, taco bell nacho supreme and a diet coke. Calorie count was 1429 for the day and fat was 51 grams,…

Arrived safe and sound after being in the car all day, or seemed like it. Breakfast was greek yogurt, almond cereal, raspberries, sugar free jam, stevia. Lunch was Cafe Rio Beef Tostada and Diet Coke, snack was Think Addictive, Newton Fig Snack Cookies, Hot Cocoa ( it was freezing all day long in Utah......brrrrr) I saved…

Quick check in traveling day. Day 6 of my dieting on track and under calories. Today according to my past history will be sabotage day, but I am no longer in denial about this pattern. Have begun the day with good choices, will check in tomrrow and post all my good choices. Thanks for listening.

Was out and about all day. Ate at the California Pizza Kitchen. I ordered from the diet menu and loved the chili relleno with portabello mushrooms, 380 calories. Ordered hot water with lemon to drink.. Walked for two hours around themall then stopped at Sprouts for a Kind bar 190 calories. Came home and ate homemade…

Thanks for info about i phone. My phone slip off my night stand last week and chipped the top flip screen, my phone is 12 years old I think, and since then it has been slowly deteriorating. Today the screen came completely off when I went to answer a call. Fortunately Hubs and I need new phones, and we went and looked at…

Dear Grammy, I send any and all leftovers home with the guests or I just dump it down the garbage disposal. Better there than on MY waist. Satan, get behind me! haha

Dear Bap, you will be great and you can taste anything at all. Just three bites; you can either put the three bites on a clean plate, because they give you everything your heart desires on a crusie, right? hahaha or you can pour table salt on the remaining portion and stir it in. You can and will stop at three bites,…

Thursday truth; being mindful to listen to this mantra when I am anxious and want to eat or in a social siutation and want to eat or am home alone and want to eat. Stop, Evaluate, Wait 15 minutes, Evaluate again, then eat one healthy snack. This way you are deciding to eat, not emotionally being driven to eat to ease…

Dear Hansea, try and relax, it is just one little conference and you will be fine. Really, laugh at the dream.....

One peach a day and 10 - 12 glasses of water and some bran cereal, tbl or so in a salad ought to make a difference. Plus exercise daily aids in elimination.

Bap I have a lady friend who eats three normal bites of anything at every meal; that way she doesn't over eat, but still eats everything and does not feel deprived. It could be a good thing on a cruise. Oh and you will be walking a lot on all those decks and you can take the stairs too and it will be so much fun Plus…

Exercise during commercial breaks on TV. You can get in about 20 minutes during a one hour show.

Susan, great going there in making your life what you want it. The bean soup reminds me of a recipe I have called Senate Soup. I think it is made in the Senate Cafeteria every Thursday. Same recipe basically, but they add a cube of butter. Oh is it every good, not dietetic, hahaha, but darn good. I made it every few weeks…

I love your story and am amazed that you are losing again? What a woman. I am in the middle of reading How I lost 150 lbs forever by Diane Carbonell. It is such a great book; you might want to read it as it refers to all the people who want to help you and talks about all her continual struggles with losing weight. I am…

Mountmary---nuts to the nuts, if you have to have a snack it beats a snickers bar doesn't it. count it for good. Been out of town for a month, but back to gym today for my Silver Sneakers class. It is sooooo much fun and makes me feel super invigorated. Been battling a sore upper arm since summer before last and now that…

L2T loved your post. I have had a similar epiphany and am working on a three pronged approach. 30 per cent fat, exercise and exact portion control....you will get there. I also identified with the clothes experience. It is an aargh moment when the pants don't fit? Great article and I hope it gives your confidence to…

It is saying it will show under all forum posts but it isn't doing it. My daughter even is trying but no go! Darn!

Tried to enter the ticker but not sure it was added. posting to see if it comes up?

Thank you so much for the info. I will follow the directions too get where I need to go. I solved the fat per centage question; I want to keep my fats at 30 percent for my weight loss goals so I figured out how many calories I want to consume per day, took 30 per cent of that amount, then divided the fat grams into the 30…

Quick question? Is there any place on myfitnesspal that you can figure out the percentage of fat in a food. Also when you are entering your food choices for the day and a number comes up, that is grams of calories, calories, or grams. I know that protein and carbs are 4 calories per gram and fat is 9 calories per gram, but…

So when you want to reply to a post you enter the @ sign in your post and then go back up to whereever the person's name is and type that too. if you are doing two steps why even do the @? I am not making the connection. If I click in front of the name nothing happens at all. Am I making this more difficult than necessary?…

So how do you get a reply to be in the post and have the person's name in blue. I clicked on the name but and made a response but that just went as a PM. Anyone?

Thank you all for the positive feedback. The evening was much better than the day and the munchies eventually went away, finally. So today is anew day and I am on spot for legal breakfast. The nice thing about the breakfast is that it oddly enough is something that I have never even considred for breakfast, so maybe…
