An overly obvious epiphany...
And perhaps because it's so obvious, that's why I didn't see it until today. Logging food and exercise is not going to help if I kid myself about what I eat, or fudge things so that the numbers come out looking good on my chart. It's the worst kind of dishonesty, and I didn't realize I was doing it until I was logging…

Driving a desk...
Are there any small exercises that can be done while driving a desk? Things that can be done sitting down, and won't interfere too much with my typing and telephone.

Seeing the underside of 205 for the first time...
two years ago, I weighed 204.8. Then it went up. This morning, I weighed 202. I have concentrated on more healthy choices, and portion control.

I could use more friends here. It's difficult to remember to log what I eat and what little exercise I do. But reading the posts on this site…

How do you count calories for a homemade casserole?
One of my stock dinners is a "casserole" made out of diced peppers & onions, garlic, steak, potatoes, and pepperoni. As the subject line says, how do I figure out how many calories are in a serving?

It's not a diet...
... it's about lifestyle changes. My most recent physical shows elevated blood pressure and blood sugar. And I've gained weight. In an effort to reverse these trends, I am here. From what I have read, I can no longer look at temporary measures. I am sedentary by nature and employment. I like junk food. I am a…
