I broke down
and bought a fitbit. Since I switched to a different job, I noticed I was dropping half a pound to a pound a day. I'm on my feet close to half the day at work so I changed my setting to light activity and it looks like I'm burning off an extra 500 cals a day according to the adjustment from the fitbit. I'm only consuming…

Losing weight and feeling energetic
Eating more to lose more. I can't believe I consumed 500 cals over my limit last night and still dropped half a pound over night. There's truth to the whole weight lifting burning more cals as you go. I switched gyms last month and had a trainer work with me on setting up goals. Even though we set it to lose 1.5 pounds per…

confession
I got it into my head that I wanted to drop ten pounds by the time I got to Florida in three weeks. That all back fired. I noticed my weight wasn't budging anymore and climbed up by three pounds. I reset my goal back to what was working for me which is 1.5 pounds a week and eating between 1600 and 2000 cals a day depending…

When you drop a pant size or two
Here's something that crossed my mind today. I decided I was sick of my over sized jeans and needed a couple of new pairs that didn't feel like they were about to drop down to my ankles out in public while I'm walking. That was my fear anyways. Here's what happened and can anyone else relate to this. I walked into an…

What piece of clothing made you realize.....
I have this jacket that is a 3x and I was literally busting out of it last year. I stopped wearing it because it was almost too tight to wear and I had to do it up around the smallest part of my waist instead of around my bum. It's almost too big for me now. Which makes me feel great about myself. What piece of clothing…

vacation time not sick time yuck :|
Last week I went up to a friends cottage and she would not let me go to the bakery, ice cream store or bring home junk food. We ate very healthy and went on walks and I came back 11.6 pounds lighter. I knew I lost weight and inches because my clothes decided to grow. before I saw the number on the scale. I readjusted my…

Calories not being placed into database correctly
I've noticed something as of late. There are people on the website not being honest about the amount of calories is according to the package. Great Value white bread is 170 calories per 2 slices, not 140 calories per two slices. I noticed this is happening with some of the higher calorie items. I feel when you put in the…

Black ice
And this is the reason I hate winter. I was going to work yesterday and slipped and fell on black ice. It was so slippery that the person who was trying to help me up struggled to keep his balance. That's how slick it was. I can't exercise so I need support on ideas how to keep my calorie count in check because my left…

After reading this
You may never want to eat chips ever again. I forgot about this bag of chips I had in my locker that was at least five to six years old. I just kind of forgot about them. They never broke down, took on some strange unnatural oder. It wasn't your normal veggie odor. This was more of a old moldy smell. It didn't look like…

Letting one control your diet their way of doing it...
Okay so my parents lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time. They had these diets where they limited themselves a certain amount of calories a day and started walking a lot and never bothered to eat those calories. Scary part is they were attempting to get me onto that train and it really messed me up to the point…

Get up and go to bed. No dinner…

Biggest Loser Spirals and meatballs
So I made the Spirals and meatballs for this week, and didn't get as many servings as I thought I was going to get. An extra half a cup of spirals would probably be enough. Next time I plan on using extra lean ground beef, the lean ground beef stil had enough fat in it that I'm feeling kind off sick. :sick: Tasted good but…

Tenants License bylaw bill WTH?
I'm feeling infuriated at the moment. I received an initial letter from my land lord telling us about this new proposal the government is considering, OMG are you kidding me? First part of the proposal will allow them to raise tax on 12,500 selected individuals who rent out apartments. Second bit is even more disturbing.…

I think my problem may lie in here. eating too many cals and not realise I'm doing so... so... can anyone help here?

Calories need help
So I spent the last couple of hours going over how much I consumed over the past two weeks, and once I figured out how many calories I was burning a day. I was a little shocked at the results. I bought a heart rate monitor that calculates how many calories I burn, and I find I'm burning 450 calories a day. So here are the…
