I had 6 ounces of ground turkey and a sweet potato tonight Cara

The past few days I have been working and busy with school - I have hardlyeaten breakfast and little for lunch - by the end of the day I have only consumed about 200-400 calories. My daily calorie allowance is 1440. For example - this is what I have eaten as of 8:53 CST: Breakfast - nothing ! Lunch- 5 ounce grilled chicken…

I agree.. we all tend to have days when we do not fill out our food diary. I did begin to fill mine out even if I went overboard on my calorie intake. But...then I began to realize I needed to be honest with myself - it is what it is - then I move on and start a brand new day. If I hit a bump in the road I just need to…

Ditto! I am a binge eater, an emotional eater, and I eat because I love food - I am addicted to food and it has always comforted me (at least for a short time).

Iowa took the weight section off - so luckily I dont have to deal with that anymore - or at least make it optional. :bigsmile: It used to be about 50 pounds off. When I loose all the weight I want I will have them put it back on:blushing: Cara

You could try Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds on dvd or vhs. I finally dusted mine off and popped it in my dvd player. Good luck! Cara

Good luck on your quest of 69 flights of stairs ! This is a great cause - my husband and I have been involved with some events for this foundation after my husband's sister lost her battle with leukemia 8 years ago. I will have to think of some music for you - maybe I can think of something my sister-in-law loved as a way…

I splurged and had lunch at Olive Garden and ate: angel hair pasta with marinara sauce ( I ate half of a lunch portion) salad with fat free italian dressing 2 breadsticks ice tea

Hello everone - I just joined and wanted to say hello. This appears to be a great site and best of all it is free- hopefully it will remain that way. I am following the South Beach diet plan and I am currently working on Phase 1. I love the idea of being able to use this site instead of keeping track of what I eat on…
