Just eat the one thing you want the most and savor it...slowly. enjoy the conversation and have fun. Skip the fries and the way bad stuff. Just remember you can take some home as left overs.…

  • I have been using this site for 2 weeks and have lost definitely 6 lbs or more. I journal my food the day of and the day after so I can see it for myself and preplan and edit. I am very careful, I go for walks to 30-75 mins. depending on day / weather...you can lose weight by just watching your calories for every 3500 cal.…
  • Hi. Explain to your wife that you want to be healthier for her and you need her support. Eat her meals but just watch your portions, or eat the meal and then take a nice family walk together. Take time and talk to each other and find ways to make the recipes work for you, not against you. Like meat for instance isn't bad…
  • I just ate out today. I preplanned what I was going to eat. I then felt secure and confident with my choices.

I got my plate and only put a tablespoon of each thing I remembe r logging on to it., I had 1 small piece of garlic bread, I…

  • try a hard boiled egg, A slice of whole grain toast with a Tblsp. peanut butter, and some skim milk and 1/2 of a banana. It will keep you going til lunch. Don't use simple sugar carbs. use the stuff that sticks there and holds you. Your body knows what it needs give it to it and see what happens. Think whole grain....like…

I can take care of myself thank you.'…
  • I do not lie on my journal. I am noting everything...if I want to have a bite I have to write. I would only be cheating myself and I want this to work for me...I thought that mine wouldn't be seen...but even if it is..I hope to be an inspiration at some point...I am not perfect....doing this for me and my health.
