I was doing so well then....
I stopped! I stopped everything....counting calories, logging food, visiting the forum, AND exercising. It started as a temporary break for a special event. Then extended to a week long break in which I ate WHATEVER I wanted. Scared to look at the scale the following week, the break was further extended. Now, here I am, 3…

Best pizza for the calories?
I recently had an Eating Right individual size frozen pizza. I think they're around 220 calories. However, when I was done eating it, my pizza craving wasn't satisfied! It just wasn't ooey-gooey pizza-y enough for my tastes! I prefer now to spend the extra 110 or so calories on a serving of red baron french bread pizza (in…

What's your average?
I was just curious at the rate other people lose weight. I'm 5'3 and have my calories are set to 1210 (automatically picked for me when i chose 1.5 pounds a week). I'm actually losing approximately .7 lbs/week, which I know because I'm totally anal and keep an excel spreadsheet of my losses. I'm pretty happy with my…

It wasn't worth it
I just had one my favorite saturday mornings. I caught an early girly flick at the local movie theatre...I like to go early so I still have my whole day ahead of me when I get out. I decided I'd have a pretzel & diet soda as part of my treat, knowing full well it would be a lot of a calories. I could figure them into my…

Good potato soup recipe?
I'm a SUCKER for a good potato soup, but they're usually really high in fat and calories? Anybody have a healthier version that's still uber-tasty?

Favorite ways to season vegetables...
I love to cook fresh veggies, but I always seem to season them the same way, and its getting kinda dull. So, I thought I'd see if I could get some new ideas to try. Here's a few of my normal pairings: string beans w/a little bit of curry powder broccoli w/salt & garlic powder cauliflower w/ olive oil and Parmesan cheese…

Trying to be strong!
There's a plate of sugar cookies outside my office. And in the conference where I just gave a presentation, there's a gazillion fresh cinnamon rolls. Two of my absolute favorite sweet treats! So far, I haven't succumbed. If I were the type of person who could have one cookie and not go back for 3, 4, 5, 6 more....I would.…

Confusion = calories burned in exercise
I just came back from the gym. It had been quite some time since I'd been there last and I just jumped on the stationary bike and then elliptical and let them run on manual mode. I didn't enter in my age or weight or anything like that, so, I'm thinking that what the calories burned display probably wasn't too accurate.…

Done for the day.
Today was my first day tracking, and although I preplanned my food for the day, I didn't QUITE stay on track. I'm trying to get in 5 servings of fruits/veggies, and I only had 2 today. And I only got 4 out of my 8 glasses of water. But today is better than yesterday. It's a start. And even though I want to go snack on…
