I am really enjoying zucchini right now. I never would have eaten that before.

Great Job!

Way to go!

Great Job! Are you going to keep logging for maintenance?

You can add me also. I love to have new friends here and support each other.

Feel free to add me for a little support.

I'm happy to offer support!

My University of Houston Cougar Marching Band Uniform counts right? The pic is 5 years old, but I say it counts.

The rest of it is pretty nice, he was just showing me the ridiculous tips.

hypertension is high blood pressure.

Count me in!

Here's what helps me: 1. Before going for the cheese cake, fill up a little on something healthy. Celery, Salad, water, tea, etc. Then eat the cheese cake in tiny bites and chew them longer. That way, you can really enjoy the flavor. 2. knowing that I have to write down every single thing I put in my mouth usually keeps me…

I just tried and it and seems much more realistic than the BMI alone based calculators.

If any of you use Google Chrome, you can do conversions right in the address bar or "Omni Bar" as they call it. You can just type something like "3 tsp in oz" or "17 oz in lb" and it will do it right there. I love it.

I just tried it against my better judgement and I'm at 469. It certainly was not easy.

I like that Bros before Ho-Ho's Idea...

I played Dance Central on my XBOX with Kinect and I thought it did a pretty good job of gauging my activity level. It sees your whole body so you do get the boost for things like your arms moving.

Houston Here. Med Center Area. Holla!

Is weight the only thing you are tracking? I don't know what your workout is, but you could still be loosing fat while building new muscle. If you're old clothes are too big, you're obviously doing something right. Maybe you could start measuring things like your waist or neck also. As far as your question goes, I would…

If It makes you feel any better I can't wait till my boobs are smaller :)

I've been reading some about the balance between sodium and potassium and it seems that it is good to have them balanced. I plan to start watching this and am going to buy some bananas tomorrow. We'll see how a banana a day helps.

Louiselesley - What does your say?

Well then yes, that would work.

From what I've read, if you consistently burn more calories than you consume, you will loose weight. If you do the opposite you will gain weight. To maintain your weight, you need to eat exactly as many calories as you burn. I would say based on this understanding, you should eat you exercise. Plus with something like…

Congratulations on making the first step. The community here is great and very supportive. See if you have some friends or family who are willing to give this a try too. Even if they're not trying to loose weight, they can still pay attention to what they eat. Feel free to add me if you like; having some buddies on here…

Thanks for all the advice. I have eliminated most packaged foods (except for some frozen vegetables with no salt added). Here's to hoping I can keep it up!

I'm in the same boat. Sometimes those Dr. Visits are just the slap in the face we need. Do you know that if you go into your settings you can choose which nutrients you want to track? This changes which ones you see in the food diary. Otherwise, you have to go the full report to see where you are with things like…

I know exactly what you mean. I tend to graze if there is food just out. I'll just pick something up every time I walk past the table. Here's a tip that I've found works for me. When I try to not to spend money, sometimes I think about how many hours I would have to work to pay for something. So, think about how many…

I'm a big guy and have some joint pain from time to time in the knees and ankles. I was at one point going to 3 hour long zumba classes each week and loving it. Basically the thing is just keep moving with the music. If you can't do something just like the instructor does it, no biggie. You're not trying to perfect a…
