That I can still go out to eat with friends or family and still enjoy myself if I just plan ahead. By planning ahead I probably would not choose what I did had I just picked it at the restaurant. Also that after a year of struggling to get back on track that by tracking every day I can be.

I checked out your diary. One thing for sure is (I don't know if maybe you forgot to log on those days). For sure do not go under 1,200 calories. Our bodies will go into starvation mode. Your body will think you are on a deserted island and hold onto your food so you will survive. Then when you start eating again it will…

I always get the light dressing on the side. I forgo the cheese and pull the croutons off and the peppers (I don't like the peppers). I usually eat two big salads (the ones they drop at the table). I dip my fork before every bit and use about half of the light dressing given. Olive Garden Light Salad Dressing - Italian…

Three all happened in the same week. My "aha moment" was when I weighed in at 250.2. I just kept thinking this has got to stop. This will never end if I don't stop this right now. Next week it will just keep creeping higher and higher until I get control of this. My other "aha moment" happened when I was looking at family…

I am 5"7 and I just added pictures to my profile.

I really don't know where I was to not report on Monday. Even though today is Friday here you go. Last Report: 178.8 Today: 177.9 My goal is to go down or maintain this through the weekend. We have family in town til Wednesday.

I would just be aware if you are eating all your calories back or not. For this reason and many others. I divide my HRM calories in half and manually put that in for my designated work out.

Weight lifting has a lot of benefits and it is good to do in the schedule you have set. I personally on weight lifting days. I started out with a run on the treadmill for 5 - 10 minutes depending on my mood. Then I start doing weight lifting with machines. When I notice my heart rate going doing. I do the row with the…

Last Week: 178.6 This Week: 178.8 My birthday was yesterday plus our wedding anniversary earlier in the week. I must say normally I gain a bunch on that week. So even though I didn't have a loss I am very pleased.

I have the Polar FT7 and love it. Though just so you know the calorie burn indicated is still inflated. I have the Bodybugg and it gives me half of the calories my brand new Polar FT7 does. I would just continue to use the heart rate monitor but count the calories for half of what is indicated. It doesn't hurt you for it…

** "Don't lose any more weight. Your getting too skinny". (Where they have only known me 2-4 years) Then you see other people and you worked so hard and they don't notice. Since those people knew you 8 years ago and according to them they are probably thinking, "Wow she gained weight" but at least they don't say it. **Or…

I just had to say that today I woke up back at 178.6. YAH!!! YAH!!! Instead of counting next week from 180 I want to go from 178.6. Keeping the same goals.

Gotta love a good 4.8 loss the week before. This week we went out to eat and my resolve to jump back into it was not there. I am + 1.4 Last week - 178.6 This week - 180 My goal for this week is to get 250 calorie exercise and not go over calories. Too make wise choice and keep my sodium under 2,500.
