I don't like to think of it as "cheating". That brings in too much negative feelings. Its a matter of perspective. People who are naturally thin, aren't dieting...or making life style changes do not think in terms of cheat days vs. dieting days. Its about living life...and living life in moderation. When I began my changes…

I balance out my food choices...like I would if I were budgeting money. I try to get the most food I can for the amount of calories I'm budgeted daily. Breakfast English muffin, egg white, salsa and canadian bacon....Jimmy Dean d-Lights...have 230 calories....and only 4.5g of fat Then I pair it with a fruit and dannon…

I'm doing a Jenny Craig diet....they've taught me to have small portions of meat and carbs...and to fill myself up on veggies....I was told certain veggies were free food...because they were so low in calories... But to answer your question...I log everything into my diary...even my 7 calorie lettuce. Also, and many may…

20 years ago I drank regular coke....then made a life change to diet coke....before all the research came out that diet coke might not be so good.... Alas, I haven't been able to give it up.

I love to eat at alot of independently owned restaurants...Typically what I do is look at what I'm being served and mentally compare it to an entre at a "chain" restaurant....where the nutritional value is known. For example....I love fajitas. So, I use the nutritional value for one fajita at taco cabana as a guide. With…

my official weigh in at Jenny Craig is sunday mornings...before I eat. But I also tend to check it at the gym before I start a workout...which is around 6pm. The gym scale and the jenny craig scale do not say the same thing. But, I know that if I weigh in at the gym at 6pm monday...and weigh in at 6pm on Friday...and…

just had a birthday party for my daughter...it was one long day of cheating.....only I don't think of it as cheating...because when I started this journey I told myself that I wasn't going to monitor what I ate....Thanksgiving...Christmas...Birthdays etc. I figure that there are 365 days in a year...and if I take 15 days…

I will keep logging my food....it was a big reality check when i wanted to order the yummy cake at Chili's only to discover it was over 1300 calories...just…

I wouldn't worry about it. Your job is to pick healthy food for the house....cook healthy food etc. A child's job is to decide whether or not to actually eat it. As long as you have a variety of healthy food options in the house, your child should just eat when they're hungry....and if one apple doesn't fill them up...they…

When flying on an airplane I've always tried to get an aisle seat...and prayed that the arm rest opens on both sides...that way I can hang slightly in the aisle instead of smushing the poor person who got stuck sitting in the middle seat next to me... Fortunately...I now have to pay for a ticket for my child...so I'm…

I agree with a couple other' s comments...its all about timing...topic your posting...probably not about your age.. I sometimes only click the recent posts...so I'm missing alot of interesting…

motivation....it changes daily. 1.) my knees had started going out on me...and I had to be careful just stepping down from a curb...so, I started bicycling to increase my strength... 2.) what keeps me going is that the sooner I get the weight loss part finished...the soon I can move to maintenance....for example...to lose…

I'm in the same boat everyone else is....If I lose 100 pounds I'll still be 50 pounds or so over weight....I wouldn't mind being 30 pounds overweight....so I guess I have at least 120 pounds to lose... though my weight on my fitness pal only shows a 14 pound loss....I joined Jenny Craig before finding this website...so…

I only looked at yesterday's menu...but it looks great. Pretty well rounded...fruits, grains, meats, fat, vegetables etc. I agree with the other posts...keep it close to 1200...also, at least for yesterdays meal...you could have added in another serving of milk, or yogurt.... maybe with that banana you had after dinner.…

Join the gym. You still have the exercise equipment at home...for those busy days. For me...just knowing I'm paying for the gym membership makes me go. Plus, it is really nice to have an indoor pool to take the kids...who tend to get stir crazy during rainy weather. Plus, it encourages a lifestyle...you're roll modeling to…

Definately could be gall stones. Gall Stones will cause heart burn symptoms. I had to have my gall bladder removed a few years ago. I was having on a little heart burn, but lots of unexplained vomiting. Come to find out the gall stones were causing erosion of my esphagus...which I will always have...and which put me at…
