Surgery
Well, I'm having surgery today but not until this afternoon. I'm not aloud to eat or drink anything (since midnight last night). This is going to be insanely hard! I am used to having 4-5 glasses of water by that time & 2 meals. I hope this doesn't muck me up too badly... usually any kind of sedative makes me super ill, so…

I HATE my nutritionist
Okay, so I went there today for my appt. She pretty much handed me the food guide, told me I don't eat enough and that coconut oil is bad for you. WTF. 'Apparently' MFP will not work in the long run b/c its too obsessive (counting calories) just like weight watchers, etc. and you do not plan on doing it for the rest of…

Meat portions?
I don't own a scale (and have no current plans to purchase one). I was just wondering how you guys determine your portion sizes? I bought some beef straight from a cattle farm (sooo much cheaper) so its all butcher packaged but the steaks and such do not have the weight on the package. Tonight I am having T-Bone Steak.…

Losing too much?
Okay, so I started January 1, officially. So far I have lost 9.5 pounds (ticker rounds up for some reason?). I'm just starting to notice the weight loss, my pants are looser, etc. I am eating within my calories (some days I'm over some days I'm a bit under but its always fairly close).

If I were to lose two pounds per week for the rest of the ye
So I wrote this list out and its been pretty motivating for me. It's been really good to look at when I am having a bad day, or just want to eat foods that I know do not fit in with my new healthy lifestyle. It also gives me mini goals to aspire towards:happy: It will be so nice to cross off each one! 210 - February 19,…

Exercise Calories too high???
I am having issues with the Exercise Calories. I am aloud 1,200 calories per day + exercise. Today I am going to swim laps for an hour.

No eating after 7pm
I am having such a hard time not eating after 7pm! On weekdays I am up around 7:30 am and usually in bed by 11:30 pm or so. I get home from work around 5pm. I have no problems staying well within my calories until after supper, then I want to eat really unhealthy things right up until I go to sleep! Have stuck with the 7pm…

Grrrr. Went over calories by 250 today! :( Was under by almost the same amount yesterday so it balances out in the end but still! I hate seeing that little minus sign :( Will be working twice as hard tomorrow to burn it off! Every Thursday my boss gets everyone something from Tim Hortons so I did my research and see that…

Contest
Would anybody be interested in some kind of contest? Maybe we could do a mini - biggest loser kind of thing? I think it would be a really great way to keep in line. Not sure if there is already something out there on this site? Anyways think it would be a great motivator to have a few people involved in a mini-competition.

Slimming down
I did really well with my New Years Resolution last year, so I figured I would try again. I do great with a 'fresh start' (aka a brand New Year). I tried this website back in September but ended up not doing my part as well as I should have. The first few days have been rough trying to keep within the calorie's, etc. but I…
