I was so excited to join in that I just hit reply on the first page and asked to join, but as I look at the other pages I can now see you already closed this challenge... Booooooooo Hoooooooooo got so excited about it for a few minutes.. :( Missed it by just a few minutes.. Shucks.

Yes, I am in. I usually weight in on Wednesdays anyway so tomorrow morning is my day. I weigh in on my Wii. I would like to keep my weigh in on Wednesday if I could as that is the day I have weighted in on for over a year. Old habits are hard to break. Looking forward to hearing all about this and how I go about getting my…

Go to Recipes and I think there are some in there. Hang in there.

I was always called Mousy Bill when I was young. I know the mousy was from all the cheese my mom put in my lunches.. I have no idea where the Bill came from. When I got my computer I tried to use that name but it was taken, so I had to use a number after it and did not want to do that. My girl friend who could never…

I read your article on movie popcorn.. I did know that it was very high in calories, fat and sodium.. I work in Hemodialysis at out hospital and our Dietitian told me. I go to the movies at least once a week, most times two, and I do look forward to the popcorn. I even make it worse by having my popcorn layered with hot…

Have any of you heard of the "No S diet"? This site is free also, and you have people there who offer lots of support. Some have lost lots of weight on this.. It's concept is follow the program from Monday to Friday with no sweets, no seconds and no snacks except on S days. Saturday, Sunday, and special days.. Birthdays…

I must say that I have not noticed any. Except that big banana. I must be so into what everyone has to say on here that my eyes are just on what I am reading and entering on my food list. However... Try and ignore it all if you can, because no matter how annoying or un-motivational it is... it's because of this that we are…

Hi and welcome. I have only been here a couple of weeks also. I love it here. I just use my Wii scales. Do you have any family or friends that live out of town? I have a niece who lives in Phoenix. ( I am in New Brunswick Canada) and her family and my sister who is visiting there for 3 months weigh in on Wednesday. We call…

I am from Canada and in my area I have not seen this. I was in New York a few months ago and was at The Olive Garden in TIme Square, I didn't notice it at first and picked out something that sounded interesting to me. My friend said, "Oh yea, you picked that because it is the lowest things in calories on the menu".. I was…

Yes you should still count. That way you will be able to see how much you have eaten over your calories today... Then maybe bump up your exercise for the next couple of days before you weight in again. We are all going to have those days, but it is really something we should know. Knowledge is power.

I am totally confused. I have only been here doing this for two weeks. In my understanding of things from reading lots of views and opinions of people this is how I see it.. right or wrong. For me to just maintain my present body weight of 185lbs I am to X"s that by 16 (2960) and that is the number of calories I would have…

I am from Burin Newfoundland, but live in Fredericton New Brunswick.

Thank you for that site.. I put in my info and it is very close to what I enter in my diary.

I also am some what confused about the counts, and I am aware that everyone says a HRM is what you need to get the correct calories burned. I walk on my treadmill, incline 1 at 3mph for 60 mins (70 mins today). My Treadmill tells me that I have burned close to 500 cals. MFP says different, so I put in 400 cals. Maybe I am…

YES.... that's how sure I am that I will never be that size EVER again.

and a good week to you also. I have had 5 good days in a row... that is until the movie tonight. I was going and I knew I would eat the large bag of popcorn, and the 5 packages of sprinkles. and I did..oh and how could I forget it was also layered with butter.... So I have to forgive myself and plan a little better when I…

That is pretty high in sugar. Our Dietitian at work said to look at it this way. For every 5 grams of sugar in anything it equals 1 teaspoon of sugar.. so in your 8oz glass of tea it would be like adding 4 tps of sugar.. would you take a glass or cup of anything and actually add 4 teaspoons of sugar to it??? Hope this is…

I have found the same thing. I lost about 30lbs last year. I was having a great weigh in every week. Then I took off a few days and went to New York for a week, and not only gave myself a vacation but also my diet, so now I have put on 10-15 lbs and back to the same old eating habits. That was toward the end of Nov. Then I…

I have heard so much about theses "endorphins" but I have never walked or ran either fast or long enough to feel what you are talking about.. I have never been and can not really see my ever being addicted to exercise. I have invested in a treadmill and got it set up yesterday.. did 25 mins first morning.. did 30 mins in…

Thank you everyone for all the wonderful advise. I do love chocolate, especially Coffee Crisp bars. Maybe I will keep it for a treat every once in a while. I am only getting at this now even though I have been here a couple of weeks. Got a treadmill, and some motivation, and after eating all my meals I still have about 400…

Congratulations on this milestone. what an accomplishment to be sure. My treadmill arrived today. I have tried the gym thing and then have two excuses to use.. don't want to go out on snowy cold days, hot humid days, just plain nice days... etc.. plus not really wanting to exercise. So I thought if I bought a treadmill and…

I am having problems finding my weigh (smile) around here. Trying to post a message but can't seem to locate where I have to go to do that.

Thank you for the welcome message.
