Question about Logging Food! Opinions please!
So, wondering what others think about this. I am a night owl, my day isn't 6am-9pm like most people, I am more of an 11am - 3amish. This being said, I don't do the whole nothing after 8pm or something, as that would mean 6/7 hours of being awake and not eating, which isn't a nice feeling. So, like tonight, when I do have a…

Weightloss by Walking ?
By eating healthy, and walking (30-60min a night, every night) will this work with weightloss? I need to lose quite a bit of weight before I can do any drastic cardio, as I found out by doing stairs instead of the elevator in my building for 3 days straight, and it caused me to be unable to walk for 3 days due to my knee…

First NSV .
It's not huge, but it made me want to keep going. I have a concert in 2 weeks. So 2 weeks ago I bought a pair of jeans a size too small.

Late Night Snacking!
I'm so bad for it. Junk food or not, I'm pretty bad for eating in the middle of the night.

What are some tricks you do to help with this?
