  • Ok, I'm in!! I did not even own a scale until I started this journey in January, and now, I find myself stepping on it every time I walk past the bathroom. Enough is enough!!

  • I am 5' 10" and have never been thin. I listed my goal weight as 180 and I think that is as low as I would go with my frame, even though according to the BMI chart I would still be technically over weight. Overall, I am not dwelling on numbers. I am on a quest to get healthy, to feel comfortable in my own skin and to feel…

  • I just went to their website and they don't have a breakfast sandwich (or any sandwich for that matter) in that calorie range. :ohwell: Here is a link for their menu and nutrition calculator. Hope this helps. http://www.timhortons.com/ca/en/menu/nutrition-calculator.html
