Oh My!
Haven't had an omlet for awhile so thought this morning would be a good time. 2 eggs, little bit of bisquik, ham, onion, cheese, mushroom, Then of course I needed 2 slices of toast with butter and jam. There went most of my calories for the day. Now I feel like I totally overate. I did log but feel miserable for such a…

One der land within reach!
It has been a long stressful journey. I have not seen One der land for more than 25 years. I started this journey Jan 2015, had to undergo Cancer treatments which did a setback but now I am getting closer to One der land! To celebrate when I get there, I have decided I will do a massive closet cleaning and invest in a few…

The lowly apple
I love apples and try to fit one in every day. I had been logging my "medium apple" 100 g faithfully each day. Then one day, I put the thing on the scale. ARRRGGGG! my what I thought was a medium apple (100 g) was closer to 300 g! Now they go on the scale to get logged more closely to accurately. I wonder what a 100 g…

Splurged on breakfast today
So today I splurged and cooked a 2 egg mushroom and cheese omelet with a side of buttered Raisin cinnamon toast. Yummy but close to 800 calories. good thing I don't do this as often as I used to. Will be eating light the rest of the day. LOL!

49 days and Results!
Wahoo! I have been logging in here for 49 days straight. That means logging my food, trying to stay within my calorie goal, changing my eating to fit my calorie goal, logging into the forums for encouragement. Todays weigh in? 26 pounds less than my all time high. 16 of it since I restarted in January. I am pumped!

Needed a treat
Have been following MFP since mid January this time and looked like I would have a loss of about 12 lbs for the month. That said, the weekend came around and though I kept to my eating plan on Saturday, Sunday it was Chinese buffet. Difficult to log, guestimate at best, looked at what others guestimated for a buffet and…

Grrrr
Computer will not let me log my food. I can get to all other parts of the site but try to log food and it just sits spinning its wheels. Frustrated tonight

Anyone else having trouble?
I would like to add my supper to my diary but all I am getting is an endless circle saying loading and it just sits there. When I went to check a food in the database it looked all different than this morning. Just wondering what is up. Was anxious to see if I could have dessert tonight or not. :-)

Grocery shopping healthy on a budget
Ok, you have approximately 90 meals and snacks in a month. I have recently seen a couple of complaints that it was impossible to buy healthy on a budget. I would like to see your shopping lists and costs for one person. Is it realistic to do it on $90 a month or less? Go!

Day 1
I am back. Didn't gain it all back but I definitely want to continue losing. Sooo I set some high standards for me this time. Week 1 goals. Log in daily Log my food: That means measuring or weighing before I eat. Walk a mile a day: Neuropathy be damned! Drink 8 glasses of water. Preferably early in the day. So how'd I do…

Getting Started....Again
Here I am again. This time at 255 lbs, less than my all time high but more than the last time I was here so here I am again, trying to undo the damage. My downfall is when I quit tracking. I have a sedentary lifestyle with an office job. Thinking of getting a fitbit as a motivator to get me to move. Treadmill sits quietly…

Calories burned. Exercise not in database.
One of my hobbies is driving ponies. Just wondering if anyone knows an accurate way to figure out how many calories are burned in the exercise. Depending on the pony I use, it could be mostly walking or it could be a fast trot over the trails. As I sit in the cart, I am constantly shifting to accommodate turns, hills, etc.…

Day 2 Accountability
I made it through day 2. I expect it will get easier. So far, thanks to lots of veggies I do not feel hungry at all. Not ready to start exercising yet so cal intake is set at 1220. Ended the day with a few cal. over. Measuring and recording my food is a whole new ball game for me. I need to make these daily posts to hold…

Finally Back
I needed to take a break this year and have not been here for about 6 months. Now that I have gone through breast cancer surgery and chemo, I hope to get back on track. I guess it hit me when I saw the dr's report that I am morbidly obese. Time to kick things in the butt and change that. I did lose a little through out my…

DASH Diet
Anyone familiar or following the DASH Diet. Saw it on DR OZ yesterday and it looked interesting. Of course, weight loss is still about calories in < calories out through exercise.

Had a bit of a fail
OK, I just had my 3rd weigh in and now my total loss is 4. lb. A good loss, so I decided to celebrate a little, Actually, the cookies at work were calling me today. I did to the best of my knowledge account for them. Didn't have time for a healthy supper so ended up at MC D's. Now I have at least 40 more minutes on the…

Disappointing first WI
I started a week ago. Logging my food, and becoming more active. I had hoped to lose 2 lbs this first week. Disappointed when I only lost .8 lb. The logging of food is a reality check and does make me more concious of what I put in my mouth. Not sure if the exercise counters here are accurate but I use them anyway. I don't…
