190 to 135 with pictures
Okay, wasn't sure if I was going to post these or not, but here goes! I weighed 190 punds in September 2011, and managed to lose only 4 pounds by 1/1/12, so I started 2012 at 186 pounds. I lost a few more pounds on my own, but was really struggling until I joined MFP in March 2012, which made it much easier for me to see…

University of Delaware Dining Hall nutrition info
I went down to University of Delaware this morning to pick up my son and bring him home for Thanksgiving. While I was down there, I had the opportunity to eat lunch in one of their dining halls (Russell) and was trying to figure out my calories and nutrition for the yummy food I ate there. I thought I was going to have to…

Final Weigh Ins -- July 31st
Well, as I suspected, I didn't make my 4% goal (I did lose 3.3%), but I am thrilled to have lost 5 pounds during the month of July, and that's a big win as far as I'm concerned! I started the month at 151.5 pounds and ended at 146.5 pounds, and that's the lowest I've been since January 24, 2007! I still have a ways to go…

Week 3 Weigh Ins -- how are we doing?
Well, I'm thinking I'm not going to make the 4% goal by the 31st, but I am still losing, so I consider that a success, even if not what I'm hoping for. I only lost 1/2 pound this week, but we ate out at Uno Chicago Grill last night for a school club fundraiser (kept the calories down, but the sodium was high) and went…

Memorial Day Food
Our family has a tradition of having a "two meal" cookout on Memorial Day, complete with burgers, hot dogs, keilbasa, potato & macaroni salads, cole slaw, soda, chips and desserts. We pig out at lunchtime and then again at dinner time, with munchies in between. Just for the heck of it, I calculated out the calories for…

Wii My Fitness Coach -- what constitutes a "segment"?
When using the Wii My Fitness Coach for a workout, periodically Maya (the trainer) will ask "how did you feel during that last segment?" (No Sweat, I was working hard, I couldn't keep up) The program uses my answer to determine whether to move me on to more strenuous exercises or make it easier. Sometimes there are 10 or…
