I recently gained almost 20 pounds in about 4 months. This was all in my belly/abdomen region. I had not gained but 10 pounds over the last 10 years, so this sudden weight gain certainly had me concerned. I hadn't really changed my eating habits (which were not the healthiest anyway). I went to the family doctor for a…

OMG This thread is hilarious. And, yes, I've done it too!

Sour Cream Ranch Dressing Honey Buns Creme or jelly filled donuts Jelly Beans Any "gummy" candy These are instant thoughts...I'm sure there are more....

Nobody has asked me lately when my baby was due! Really, this last happened only 3 months ago in April while we were on our honeymoon. I generally respond with "oh, I'm not pregnant; this is just where I store all my extra fat (while rubbing my tummy)" and deliver it with a smile. I always get a chuckle at how fast a…

I have a NSV every time I reach deeper into my closet and drag out a pair of pants that I haven't worn for a while (the ones you just push to the back because they no longer button around your waist) and they FIT AGAIN! (Now i can shove my "too big" pants to the back instead--until I can make a run to the thrift shop to…

Today, I could have scrounged up a chair to sit in while assisting at a registration table, but instead i just stood for the entire hour. (But I am glad to be done, and to see my office chair again lol.) Yesterday, I could have driven to Dairy Queen when my family made me so angry, but instead I took a hard, fast, long…

May I join? July 1 weigh-in: 142.4

I treat every day as a brand new start. Don't borrow worry from yesterday nor from tomorrow. I didn't log anything for the last two days....i didn't want to know how badly I'd blown it. I did weigh this morning, though, and I didn't gain (or lose) anything. I'm not going to beat myself up over it, and I'm glad to get back…

We barbequed for 12 last night, and served cantaloupe, cucumbers and corn on the cob as sides. We did have some baked beans and chips for those who wanted them.

I was looking for a calorie count of some oatmeal I had here at work. The doctor had just put me on a 1200 calorie diet and I was about to start counting calories. This site was a blessing to find, and gives me the ability to plan a little better when choosing food. I enjoy being able to see my progress over time as well.
