woo hoo 20

I love my Diet Pepsi. But I will not allow myself to have one until I have had at least 80 ounces of water. This has drastically reduced the amount of Diet Pepsi I drink and it has become a treat instead of my standard beverage.

Down another pound. My goal is 240 and I am now 243.8

moving along

wow, a lot of new people. I still haven't gotten to know all the "old" people yet. Welcome to all the newbies. Monday check in-- I always weigh in on Mondays and Fridays--don't know why I weigh in that often. I guess if I had a good weigh in on Monday, I can't wait to see if there is a further loss on friday and if it is a…

just make sure you are netting above 1200 calories

the question being asked is what number value is tthe red number at the bottom of your food diary under the fat column at the end of the day

sometimes I crave my morning grapefruit and my lunch time broccoli

I try to track everything. If it is only one bite and it is the only stray thing all day, I don't worry about it but mentally remember it. I look on my tracking my food as a tool to assist me in my weight loss not as something to obsess about. But as a tool, I want to be as honest and thorough as possible so I can see how…

@skinnyjeans wow you are a busy lady @jtconst I do a lot of prep with my veggies too. I put them in baggies for easy grabbing for a snack Well, today I was both bad and good. While at the store shopping for all my healthy stuff, I passed by the lbakery area and there was a single serve peice of marble cake with buttercream…

woo hoo three more today

My favorite salad requires no dressing. I love to take baby spinach leaves and put fruit on top. one bite of fruit with soume spinach leaves--yum strawberry spinach salad by whitecapwendy, on Flickr

LOL I did not mean to start a fat in fish discussion. My focus was originally on nuts and howhe fat in nuts is a good fat. Throwing fish in there was an afterthought. That said, I am from Michigan where cold water salmon isthe most common fresh fish.

fish and nuts may be high in fat but it is a good fat that helps increase the good colesterol. fats are not equal--look to increasse monounsaturated fats over saturated fats

and leave the price tag (and any other tag) on it so the guests know it has never been used.

@jtconst Woo hoo! congratulations. I hoped you logged your exercise for your celebration. When one of my friends has a loss, she will have a post for "burning ____calories jumping for joy for two minutes". It always gets a chuckle out of me. @legallyheidi I just saw a post from you on another thread. Small worlid--this…

First, I am not looking at this as a diet. I am looking at it as a life change. I decided that I wanted to be healthier so I wanted to start eating healthier. But first I had to find out what healthy eating was, so started studying. I came up with what was mentioned several times already. Lots of fruits and veggies, whole…

Well, I only lost .2 pounds today. friends at the lunch table were laughing about the .2 and saying maybe I wore the wrong shirt or drank an ounce too much water. Oh well, a loss is a loss, and I had lost a pound last Friday and another pound on Monday, so it all balances out in the end. Friday fitness: I did a good job…

Keep in mind that you need at least 1200 calories and probably much more just to survive (for your heart to beat, and all your body's organs to work). You need to make sure you eat at least 1200 calories and eat back some of your exercise calories. If you are making wise choices as far as food--lots of fruits and veggies,…

I have been doing really well this week staying on task, and keeping at my working out--with the help of Leslie Sansone. A few days I was able to do the video twice and a couple of days I was able to get out for a good walk. I am excited to see if it has paid off at the scale tomorrow morning. Thursday truth--I also know…
