I rinse my hamburger meat and I blot my hamburger patties, squeeze all the fat right out.

I incorporate chocolate or some kind of sweet every single day. Someone smart once said "you need to have all the flavors", this includes sweet.

I log hatha yoga and it shows 200 cal burned in 1 hr. I don't think I burn 200 cal so now I don't even log it because it distorts my calories showing I can eat 200 more calories. Or if I log exercise I do it at the end of the day. I would suggest one of the fitbits or something similar to get a more accurate count.

There is a wonderful book "Menopause Makeover" that I am finding very helpful with understanding all the symptoms and what can be done about it. I was on estrogen patches for 13 years then I said enough (they are expensive)but now I am hot and cold all night long. I hear you!!

My vitamins, fish oil, etc have calories. I use about 40 calories a day in vitamins so watch out for these.

I do because oils and condiments have calories too

Anything chocolate

Same here! I KNOW I don't burn 200 cal doing 1 hr yoga. I don't log my exercise anymore because I don't want to eat back the calories that are not true anyway.

Just keep logging your food. You will probably not eat the 3,500 extra calories per day to gain it back. Water weight has a lot to do with it too. I seem to be stuck but I am not going to give up. It will have to come off some day!

388 calories over-not too bad

I will be your friend. Welcome! I love this site even though there are a few things to be tweaked.

Hi Mary, I'm a 56 year old female account in the state of WA. I've lost 12 lbs so for in about 13 weeks. I have learned a LOT about what I've been eating and what I'm eating now. Especially salt! I hope you continue to log your foods. I love this website and will probably continue forever.

I like white wine. The most bang for your buck I say.

I would break everything down into shrimps, broccoli, pasta and the sauce. I find this to be more accurate. To convert ounces to cups, 8 oz equal a cup.

I'll be your friend! I just started 10 days ago. I think this will work for me. I like your name. I do income taxes and bookkeeping and one of my favorite clients is named Rhonda and another favorite client named Blankenship so I feel al kinship with you. I am 56 and need to lose 35 lbs. I go to yoga 3 times a week and I…

I just started on Sunday and couldn't believe how much salt I was pouring into my body everyday. Cup of Soup with added chicken broth and water, ham for lunch, something with salt for dinner. And that was what I was aware of at the time. No more noodle soup and eggs for me. This has been a real eye opener for me. I truly…

Hi, I'm new here too. I'll be your friend! And you sure are lucky cause I'm a good friend to have. My name is Cheryl and I'm a 56 yr old tax preparer/bookkeeper and I am about 35 pounds over weight.
