It must mean that your weight now is higher than what you have as your starting weight from long ago. I am not sure how you fix it if there are a lot of entries. =( Might check with Tech Support

I found one that goes to 11 lbs and it does grams which is very handy. Its a Hamilton Beach. Its very accurate too. I had a coupon for 20% off. It was definitely worth it. I didn't realize how much my guesstimates were off.

I actually quit eating corn bread muffins and some other stuff because I decided that for that corn bread muffin, I could have an extra BBQ spare rib. Glad to hear I am not the only one doing this. My friends think I am nuts.. lol

LOL and your friends look at you like you are nuts when you go, Chinese pepper chicken - 1 cup is about 300 cals and a crab ragoon is 140 =)

Congrats! Once you get past boot camp, you may be able to do different things other than running for your yearly physical. I know the Navy allowed me to swim. I made outstandings swimming. I can't run to save my life. ( I walk faster than I run.) That helped with the evals =) Also thank you. Good luck!

If you want to add calories but not carbs - check out some of the cheeses. They are usually about 110 calories per ounce. Things like almonds, other nuts work too like cashews and peanuts. Cream cheese, peanut butter. I try and stay away from salted stuff. You want to hit the protein and stay away from the carbs if you…

Good luck with the new job and lunches! Hey are we going to start a "chat and vent" group? I am sorry I have been out of it for a bit. Migraines have been too bad to be on the computer for more than a minute or two. Miss you all =(

I really like the idea of having a place to "chat and vent". Even though I have not been on long for the last couple of weeks, I miss talking to you all. Can we make up a place to go chat? I would go for that. I wish I knew what to tell you all about going up and down and changing things up. These last couple of weeks have…

WhooHoooo! Congrats on MIL being gone. Also Congrats on the new job!

Who hoo Karendee - one more day =) By the way here's the book review. I don't do apps as I have a dumb phone but it was interesting reading you'alls reports. Thea Harrison is a really good writer. She has a Elder Races series that pretty neat. She ties some of the happenings in what has really taken place in some of our…

Sorry I missed last week's stuff. I wanted to do a review cuz I read a bit and I am always looking for new authors. I read mostly fiction but some of the review look so good, so I will expand. Thea Harrison is a really good writer. She has a Elder Races series that pretty neat. She ties some of the happenings in what has…

I am sorry to hear about your problems with MIL. It very well could be she is sabotaging you unconsciously. Especially if she yo-yo diets. Just hang in there, she will be gone soon and you can get back to being you again. Speaking of letting you all down. Sorry to you all for not checking in. I haven't been able to sit in…

Sweet deal on the weight loss Spacecurly! Hope you had a good visit. (Good luck on the other, just keep the practicing fun =) Sorry I haven't been around much - just kinda in a holding pattern until Aug 7 rolls around. Pain levels will be high until then and I have been too tired from not sleeping to work out as much =(…

Bump!

It has been hard this time round. I am trying not to get overly hopeful. I have soo much to lose. My NSV was Friday I put on a pair of just washed and dryer dried jeans and they about fell off. I knew I was losing but I didn't KNOW I was losing. Spacecurly - You're right the mindwork is funny. I expect I will experience…

Like I said, it is weird. I feel guilty sometimes eating so much (and it's hard to eat healthy eating that much) but it is working. I am going to lose this weight and keep on going this time. It's frustrating too in a way cus the last 3 times I put on so much weight it came from medication changes and it has always been so…

Hey guys, several of you mentioned more calories so I will tell you my tale. It's been really weird. I actually got my metabolic rate checked by a machine (think breathalyzer for 10 min). When I did this, it showed my resting metabolic rate was 2800 calories. The dietician had me eat 2500 calories at the start of my weight…

Sorry I haven't been on much - I miss "chatting". It will be a couple of weeks before I can do more than just "check-in". I managed to lose 3 lbs this week =) so I was excited about that, since the last couple of weeks I have stayed the same. Maybe I should workout on Saturday more often lol. I just had to share. By the…

I bet the vitamin would help - I know if I don't take mine, I seem hungrier =(

Glad you had a good time and are back =) My NSV day was meeting with my Chronic Pain Group and talking about how to change my focus from "being successful doing things such as work, etc which I can no longer do" to how to "like myself as a person and be successful as a person". This is really tough for me to do. I thought…

My NSV day was meeting with my Chronic Pain Group and talking about how to change my focus from "being successful doing things such as work, etc which I can no longer do" to how to "like myself as a person and be successful as a person".

That's great! You get up and go do. That is fantastic considering you have a rotating schedule and hubby to keep track of =)

I'm glad you shared =) Topomax is used for a lot of things. I was on a really low dose to help with my eating urges (some of the medicines I am on make me HUNGRY). It helped some. About 3 yrs later when I started with the daily chronic migraines they upped the dose through the roof. I thought I should have wasted away to…

Oh that was a really cool movie. I saw it quite a while ago. I will have to look it up again =)

@mudflatmabel - sorry to hear about this week. I know the weather bothers me these days, does it bother you? Fingers crossed next week will be better. @spacecurly - I haven't been getting my water in, and it shows =( Glad you had a good time with the hubby (Ghost makes me cry too) @Karendee4 - lol I must have a black thumb…

Ok so I couldn't decide which movie to be a critic of. This week has been such a rollor coaster that I ended up watching both of these, Ghost and Die Hard. Ghost is a total chick flick. Ghost is a 1990 American romantic fantasy film starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, Tony Goldwyn, and Whoopi Goldberg. It was written by…

One of my favorites was Ghost with Patrick Swayze too. Think that is what I'll do my movie review on. And then go watch it, it's been a while. That or a good kick butt good guys win flick like Die Hard.

Glad you had a good day today and met someone new! Happy 4th everyone!

If you like John Grisham, you would probably like Elizabeth Lowell. She does do a little romance but it is mostly suspense with a twist. She has the Donovan series which is about a various family members who work with gems. Her more recent stuff is Death Echo, The Wrong Hostage, Whirlpool. I really liked Moving Target and…

I am in the same boat only I need something that is waterproof as I am water walking again. Any suggestions would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.
