Well when I looked back at it I realized that if I just deleted everything back to my first weigh in after I gave birth to my daughter in August I would be back to before we got the crappy scale. So I left that one and all previous because I have been on here for over a year but had to stop the weight loss journey because…

Thank you! I feel its better to start from a clean slate rather than be reminded of the frustration everytime I log in

I'm breastfeeding as well. My little girl is 7 weeks old and I'm not logging any calories for breastfeeding right now. I have only sporadically been logging calories eaten. From what I have seen before the baby is about 12 weeks old dropping below 1800 calories isn't recommended. Right now I have my goals set to .5 lbs per…

When I am being diligent and not running to the store for every little whim, and of course not counting holiday food budget I can buy groceries for a family of 3 for about $200 per month. That doesn't account for toiletries, but I make alot of those myself anyway and we buy paper goods and some food items like beans, rice,…

If it was truly my best friend or a family member I would have to say something. If it was a casual accquaintance I might be more reluctant because I don't know where thier marriage/relationship is at. Perhaps they have agreed to something between themselve that I have no knowledge of. But someone I am close to, that I…

I add lemon or sometimes a crystal light type powder to my water occasionally. I actually only usually add about half a packet at a time for a 20 oz glass of water because its too sweet. Lemon or lime juice is actually my favorite and I keep one of those little squeeze things of lemon juice at my desk at work. :

I'm in too. I figure I will get started with setting my goals for the week now so I am in the right frame of mind to start tomorrow. :smiley: I plan to walk at least 20 minutes at no slower than 2.8 mph every single day, starting Nov 1. (this week was no slower than 2.5, I am working on bumping up to a run.) Also…

I have been over calories, over sodium and under exercise more in the last 10 days than I have been on track. My weight shows it. Up 3 lbs. I honestly feel like I might as well quit while I am ahead. I thought putting my goals out there would help me be accountable but it didn't help at all and now I feel like a failure,…

I always figure based on the popped calories. So 1 bag contains about 3 cups popped popcorn and that equals 105 calories.

plain avacado...but I am inlove with guacamole. baked chips...I know they aren't truly "Healthy" but they are supposed to be better than fried chips but they taste terrible Tofu...it just grosses me out. Texture, taste everything. Also I cannot handle Milk unless I am eating something extremely rich and sweet. And then I…

Yesterday I met my calorie goal, and my exercise goal. I didn't toss my candy. I decided that maybe it will be better to keep it...and make myself make the choice not to eat it. Then when I am about to give in I can say to myself that it has been ___ days that I have gone without binging on candy and today is not the day I…

Went over calories both days of this weekend. Back on the wagon today with a walk this AM already. I have my lunch logged so I won't be tempted to get something else in the cafeteria at work and I am trying to figure out my breakfast. IDK if I am even hungry really. I feel a little hungry but I am drinking water to make…

Im seriously considering a VivoFit. It is also made by Garmin and has alot of the features you have described. It's just a bit pricy for me right now. But as you said Holiday prices may bring it down to a reasonable level. One thing I noticed on the website is that it says a battery change wouldn't be necessary for up to a…

Didn't meet the stay under calories goal for Day 1, but I did meet the others. Day 2 Goals: Stay under calories Water only to drink Think Positive Get to bed on time Day 3 pre-emptive goal: Work out in AM

Goals for Day 1 of 100 Log everything Stay under Calorie Budget NO excessive snacking Water only to drink And adding a pre-emptive goal for Day 2 of 100...actually get out of bed and work-out tomorrow morning.

Add me to the PCOS list. I have had a hard fought battle, but I am now down 50 lbs :) Still have about 75 to go, but at least now I know it is possible. Did your Dr. put you on Metformin? I took it for a while but as I lost weight I don't seem to need it anymore and it was starting to give me bad side effects again so I…

My mother has history of ED so she tends to have an f'd up sense of weight and food and its relationship to life. Once she told my sister who has always been thin and who was 8 months pregnant at the time that it must be terrible to be bigger than her mother. Mom had just lost weight and was wearing a size 6 I think. My…

Did you stay within nutrition goal? No - Over calories Did you reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't have any in particular What I am I proud of from yesterday? That I logged even knowing I was going over What would I change? I would make better choices in food Today's personal goals? Log everything and stay under…
