I am going to try this at home tonight.....

Thanks everyone for sharing all the recipes and experience..... I think I will make bread tonight after work....yummmmmm.

I never take my shoes off inside till the very end of the day, when I am just wantching tv. If I walk around much without shoes on my back and feet start hurting. I will take them off if I am at someone elses house if they ask me to though.

I use an Omron pedometer which I love. It tracks steps, aerobic steps, calories burned, and miles. It seems fairly accurate, once you get the stride set up correctly. I wear it everyday and it helps me keep moving. I try to get at least 10 thousand steps a day. I spent around $21 online... such a great deal.

You can add me....I'm short , 41 and also have a long way to go. We can do this.....

I usually plan ahead and log my food for the day in the morning. I sometimes have to go back and change it , if my meals or snacks change. I tend to eat the same foods for lunch and breakfast, so it makes it easy to enter.

I find if I do my own cooking from scratch I can keep in under my goal. I have been trying to buy the "lower sodium" versions of pre- packaged soups and stuff like that when I can find it. I like to use Mrs. Dash instead of salt when I am cooking. It is definately a challenge.....

I have a snack right before bed almost every night. I sometimes have problems with my blood sugar going to low at night....so a snack before bed is helpful. I usually have a slice of bread with a little peanut butter....yummm.

I love my $21 dollar Omron pedometer....its pretty accurate and the price was great.

"fun size" bags of chocolates....reeses, york peppermint patty etc....can't have them around or I can't stop eating them. Brownies with frosting.... It is kind of nice to know I'm not the only one who has trouble with stopping at just a serving or two....

I would probably do peanut butter. Yummmmm.......

My total 10-16- 12829 Not gonna get any where close to it today though.....spent the day at the surgery center with my dd, who just had her tonsils out.

I am joining this thread....can't believe I never saw it before today... My pedometer only saves data for 7 days, so will record the last week or so..... 10-10-10457 10-11-12302 10-12-13320 10-13-12049 10-14-10455 10-15-10412 10-16-12140 I am so happy to find this thread....nice job everyone

I am from Bellingham Washington......

Thanks for the responses....I sure appreciate it. My Omron doesn't have a website (that I know of anyway) or sinc with MFP.....its a great pedometer, but a little lower tech compared to some. Thanks again....

I weigh every morning but I only log my weight once a week ...usually on Thursday or Friday.

We usually go there a couple times a month. I usually get a happy meal and give the toy to my 6 year old.....she loves it because she gets 2 toys instead of one....lol. All things in moderation is the only way I can keep myself on track.

So glad you are OK now.....what a scary feeling.....btdt. Also glad that there were some kind ladies to help you..... Take care of yourself....

I hate when I can't find what I am looking for......maybe try "potatoes - usda" and see if that helps. Good luck

I highly recommend the website Quitnet.com. I joined it 471 days ago when I decided to quit smoking. It is a wonderful, helpful site. I could not have quit without it. I used the lozenges when I quit, they were really helpful. Good luck you can do it....Add me if you want.

I have an Omron HJ-112 pedometer. It is incredibly accurate once its set up correctly....and very reasonably priced. I would definately recommend it....

Hi everyone, Just peaking in from work and wanted to say Hi and thanks for the welcome yesturday. I'm at work and gotta get back to it.... Have a great day everyone.... .

Hi, So can anyone join this thread? I am 41 and just getting back on the weight loss wagon. Looking for some friends and support. Thanks Mary

Good job to all of you.... I quit smoking on June 16th 2012. I used the lozenges for the first 4 weeks and then weaned myself off of them. I wish I had paid more attention to my weight while I was quitting.....I am here now because I put on a ton of weight in the last 14 months. Mary PS...I would highly recommend the site…

Good job everyone....pretty amazing before and after pictures. I am another shorty....only 4 ft 11 and am just starting my weight loss journey again..... Thanks for sharing pictures.

I always gain a pound or 2 of water weight during my period. It usually goes away the next week. I try not to let it bother me.....

Thank you everyone for sharing......:happy: I think its great we can all share our experiences with each other. Good Job everyone......I am very inspired reading about your successes. I am just starting this journey (again) and enjoy reading about others success.

Thanks for sharing everyone..... It sure helps to read other peoples thoughts....makes me feel less alone. Mary

I sure have enjoyed reading everyone elses suggestions. I might try a few of them myself, since I sturggle in the evening after work as well. Thanks for sharing everyone.....
