Can't believe I didn't gain!
I had family in town this weekend and I ate and drank everything in sight for three days...and add to that my monthly enemy was here too. I was dreading stepping on a scale. But I did, and i didn't gain anything! I was starting to wonder recently if I hadn't been eating enough calories, and think maybe I've just gotten my…

What gym do you use?
I have been going to Bally's for years, but the one closest to me is closing down next week, and I am not driving 35 minutes one way to another one. So I've started looking around for new clubs. So far I think LA Fitness is in the lead, it's a total of $107 to sign up, including the first and last month dues (29 a month).…

Anyone interested in a clothing swap?
I was not sure what forum to post this in... Yesterday, I was going through my closet, and pulled out a stack of jeans that had been tucked away for a while. I pulled them on and they fit! :drinker: But that means that some of my favorite jeans and tops are getting too big (again :drinker: ) but the thing is, I can't…

Which is worse?
Is it worse to go over in fat or in calories? I am over in fat by 12g, (but at least it was mostly from avocado and olive oil), but still have 577 calories left for the day.

Cookies actually lasted over a week in my cabinet!
That never happens! Cookies don't usually last a day around me! I am amazed I was able to only eat one or two at a time and not the whole box in one sitting! I hid them in a cabinet I usually don't go into, so I didn't see them and have to avoid them all the time. Once, I even forgot they were there, and THAT really never…

Observations on using my new heart rate monitor
I ordered a heart rate monitor on the recemmendation of some other posters here (I got this one http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=211107597 ) I used it for the first time today...it was pretty easy to set up, and wasn't uncomfortable when wearing the chest strap. I thought it was cool that when you have the strap…

It's near impossible without exercise!
So this weekend I tried extra hard to stay on track, logging my food and going to the gym. Yesterday was my day off from the gym, and sometimes on my day off it's really hard to eat right. But I stayed conscious of it and logged it all. It was super hard to stay at 1400 calories without working out, even though I ate…

What a nice boost!
A few months ago at the gym, a woman I'd never seen before came up to me and commented on how good I looked and how much weight I'd lost (about 22 lbs at the time). It just made my day that a perfect stranger noticed my hard work! Today, while I was sweating my *kitten* off on the treadmill at the gym and feeling like I…

At a standstill
Okay here's the deal...I've consistently worked out for a long time, and in the past I've lost weight with the help of Weight Watchers. Over the last few months of 2008, I gained a lot back. In January, I returned to WW, and over 2 1/2 months lost 22 lbs. I pretty much stopped going to WW once I started here, about a month…

Why are weekends so tough?!
I usually do pretty well during the week, but come the Saturday and Sunday, everything goes right out the window! It's like I can't control myself, or, even worse, don't want to control myself! I really get tired of all week counting calories and weighing and portioning and cooking and making and keeping such a conscious…

Easy, tasty snack...
I am not really a fan of raw carrots, but I'll eat them anyway because I know I should. The other day I picked up a bag of carrot chips, you know - raw carrots sliced lengthwise...and on the back of the bag it had a little snack idea. Mix equal portions of fat free sour cream and salsa, and dip the carrots! A healthier…

Workout videos for ipod
Do you guys know of any workout videos I can download onto my ipod? I'm looking mostly for strenth training videos, not cardio. I would like to learn more moves, and think it would be easier if I can see the moves being performed instead of reading them like in a magazine. There has to be some website where you can…

Deal breakers
What are some of yours? I just can't date someone who is a poor tipper. I'm a waitress dammit. If you're taking me out, that's something I WILL notice.
