Low carb open diaries
I would love to start doing a Lower Carb/higher protein diet but not exactly sure how. I know don't eat as much bread, blah blah. I know it "seems" simple but it's just not for me. I would love to see some open diaries of people that are successful at it. and see what they eat throughout the day. Thanks for any…

Hate that scale
Why it is so hard to reprogram our thinking about that dang scale? I mean I SEE my body is changing, I feel my clothes getting looser but that scale hates me! I have tried the "measure yourself" method but I'm not sure how accurate that is either? I mean how do you know you have the tape measure in the exact spot each…

Stand up desk
This is my new "homemade" standing desk...Today is my first day using and I'm excited, been wanting to for a long time. I work at home so it is a lot easier for me than some but it's a lot easier to dance standing than sitting LOL

So confusing
Ok....I just have to rant this morning. I'm so confused about the numbers game.....first you hear it's all about calories in vs calories out, and as long as you have a deficit you will lose. Then you hear, you must eat high protein, low carbs, low sugar, high fiber, low sodium. I have only gone over my calories maybe 4-5…

Net Calorie Question
Ok I know this question has been asked before but I've read and read and I'm still confused. I looked on the iPhone app and it says "3634 Net Calories under weekly goal". What exactly does that mean? I am 218 and my calorie intake for the day is 1200 and I usually have about 400 exercise calories a day. I normally will eat…

NSV :)
I just had to smile at this today: I have some workout pants that I hardly ever wear because they are too short. Well today I put them on and they are NOT too short anymore. Now I know I haven't shrank an inch so I know my body is not as "wide", taking up as much room in my pants. YAY!!! I'll surely take it

Activity Level Question
I have a question about the activity level....what is the benefit to changing it from sedentary? Does it up your calories? I do computer support so I do sit most of the day but I walk at least 3 miles in the evenings. Should I keep it at sedentary? or change it to lightly active? Thanks for any help you can offer

Just venting
Ok it's weigh in day...and I only lost 1 lb. I have to admit I am a bit discouraged with that. This is my 3rd week in and I lost 4 lbs the first week and 4 lbs the second week. I know 1 lb is better than gaining or not losing any but ugh was just wanting more. Where in the world does all this sodium come from? There is no…

Thankful
You know, I am so proud to be a part of this site. I have never been somewhere that people are so encouraging and complimentary but also I love that if you are NOT doing what you need to, they will be honest and tell you that too. I am 2 weeks into my journey and have lost 8 lbs so far and I do NOT believe I could have…

GREAT 3 minute exercise
A friend of mine found this awesome video on youtube. It's a 3 minute walk, really great for office workers (like me) who sit SO much of the day. My goal is to do it every hour, but even a few times a day is better than none. I do work at home so it's a little easier for me to get up and do it than people who work in an…
