I second the congrats on your getting going on the bike. Calories burned are often a unicorn. I don't worry about calories burned. There are too many variables - wind, temperature., what you ate, if you had a good sleep, a fight with your partner or you have 35 pounds in your back pack or the wrong air in your tires. I…

Well, there are pamphlets and then there are real world experiences. Thanks for your expertise and good luck reaching your goals.

guacamole..

Congrats. Amazing accomplishment. You should be very proud.

Unfortunately, my doc wants to keep the records. WalkingAlong, if you scroll to the bottom of your diary pages, there is a food log report button. One would think it is in the Reports tab, but nope.

There are a few factors which many have mentioned, like your starting size and how much you lost. I find a lot of people are just uncomfortable mentioning it because it is like saying "Gosh you were fat." I also find that people you know well but don't see very often noticed it more. I ran into a member of the clergy that…

Don't let the space be an issue... I do this in my tiny kitchen on my laptop.

I think some of the Weight Watchers programs work like this. Also, a lot of diabetics use a system like this. Aster

Thanks all for being so generous with your time and comments. Nice cross section of ideas.

See, I never would have thought to use the CMI (crackhead mass index). ;)

When you work out in the morning, your body better utilizes the metabolism burst. You have more active hours for it to be effective.

Why thank you Ms. Pearsquared. Much appreciated. Continued good luck on your journey. :smile: Aster

They work within limits. You have to still look up the food and most have a fairly limited dbase, maybe 1000 foods. And I don't believe they let you add more.

Diet sodas affect different people different ways. I gave it up a couple of months ago and now drink mostly crystal light or water. I needed to get rid of the caffeine.
