How important is sleep?
Most of this week I haven't slept more then a few hours at night and when I get up my scale doesn't show any lose at all. It's a digital scale so you would think it would show at least point something. Now last night I got a full nights sleep and my scale shows 1.2 lbs lost. Is it from actually getting enough sleep or???

I think it's a success story
Not your typical weight loss success story, but a success none the less I think. My 6 yr old niece spends a lot of time with me. We went out to eat right before Christmas and the kids menu at IHOP had the calorie count on the kids menu, her and her 8 yr old brother were competing to see who could eat the most calories. I…

I cheated
I had to go 12 hrs with nothing to eat or drink so this afternoon after I was discharged from the hospital after my surgery I decided I wanted comfort food and had a McDonalds McDouble for lunch. I do feel slightly guilty since I can't exercise for a day or two, but also glad I didn't have to come home and make something.

Going out to eat
The first time I went out to eat, I wasn't prepared at all and went way over my calories, last time I looked at the menu on line and went prepared so I didn't go over. Tonight we are taking the 5 teenage boys out for a Christmas dinner. I looked and the restaurant has an online menu, but no nutritional information for any…

Need meal ideas
I'm very guilty of grabbing something from the freezer tossing it on the oven and that's supper. Seeing the calories in most of that is scary and then I only end up eating a little so I'm still hungry. It needs to feed a lot too, besides me and the old man it's also 5 teenage boys. It would help if it had beef in it too,…

Exercise and Wii

On the go breakfast
I need some ideas on what would be good for a on the go breakfast. I don't have time in the am to make anything, so I usually grab a Little Debbie or 2 on my way out of the door. After looking at the back of the box this morning I figure I better find an alternative.

Hi all
I just joined yesterday because a friend from FB said she was having good luck watching her calories. I'm ending the first day with my calories over my limit:( I do have to say though if it wasn't for watching my calories, I'm sure I would have ate more and wouldn't have done any exercise to try and get my number down.
