Say no to the urge.
Yesterday I had a major craving for IN n OUT! After work I passed by and had the greatest urge to stop and grab a burger and fries. I kept saying no, no no! I made it home without the burger and fries and had a nice dinner with my husband instead. I think I saved myself a gazillion of calories there. One of these days I…

10,000 step challenge
How many steps do you take a day? They say its recommended to walk 10,000 steps each day. Sounds like a lot, but when you take steps to go to the further drinking fountain, the long way around to the printer etc, it adds up through the day. My goal is to get as close as I can. Since Aug 1st I have walked slightly over 10,…

Adding calories to count
Does anyone know, or is it possible to add calories to the count without adding the actual product info? Today I had a slice of pizza with peporonie and green bell pepers. The slice was small, but I want to be sure that that gets counted, but I have no idea how to log that without having to input all the info and that I do…

proper amount of water
Not sure if this has been covered here or not, but I'll say so anyway. to get the proper amount of water take your weight and divide by 2 and that is how many ounces of water that you should be drinking. That was found in a fitness mag article written by a doctor... not sure what the mag was. But it does sound about right.…

idea! and question.
I just totally thought of an idea! Currently I have my calories set at 1200. Problem with that by lunch time I have come really close to going over with only 20 calories to go (such as the case today) and then when dinner comes obviously will put me way over. Lately, now that I am back tracking again dinner comes around…

Tuna vs Chicken
Okay, so it is like this I can't stand tuna in any way shape or form. The other day I came across valley fresh 100% natural White chicken in water. I can deal with chicken and I made a small sandwich today and that filled me up and I thought it wouldn't. The one I had has no preservatives, 97% fat free, natural sea salt…

starting fresh
Okay, so it is monday. I'm going to see if I can get my 8 8oz glasses of water in each day. That is my goal and I hope I can stick to it. I will also try not to drink my 1 - 2 sodas (12 oz) per week. I'm not addicted to soda or anything like coffee so I think I can do this. Water will be all. No matter how boring it is.…

question about heart rate monitors
Okay, I may have asked this before, but I don't remember and I cannot find the post if I did. My question is, how do these things work. I have one that does the heart rate and has other features but I am not sure what they are for. Is one of them for calories? If the feature says CA? How accurate is this if it is. Am I…

Wii Fit does work
For all you peeps that are wondering and asking about this system-- it is a must have!! They are hard as the wii to find, if not harder!! I have one and did a 30 min play on it and my legs felt it big time. There's aerobics on there and the fun part is you do not feel that you are doing exercise. Must make sure you stretch…

Hi everyone! I haven't had a chance to read what I have missed, but I am sure it is quiet a bit. I took a break, well not because of anything on this board, but because of me. I was disapointed in not loosing anything. I would loose then gain again. I stopped weighing myself everyday and did it once every other week. I was…

Does drinking water actually help you loose weight? I know that question has been circulating around this board since I've started back in Jan. In the begining, I was drinking "all" my water (8 cups) each day, :drinker: I was not loosing anything in fact I gained a couple of pounds. I started what is known as the yo-yo…

So much to go yet!
Okay, so here's the deal, I adjusted my goal so that it would not seem like I had a lot to go yet. I'm down 7 pounds, which has been going up and down since I've started here. I've been sick on and off too so It's probably all water weight. Anyway, my profile says I have 17 to go yet.. but then after I adjust that to get…

Eating what you want is okay ....
...If you only do it once a week. I was experimenting. I went a few weeks of sticking to eating "good" (well kinda) :blushing: But I did stay away from the fast foods completly. What I did was as I stayed away from places I didn't have the urge to go to them that often. I was maintaining weight and not really dropping.…

I can make you thin , really I
cannot not. :bigsmile: only you can. I was watching a program, not sure if it has been discussed already here. I don't remember. But TLC has a program "I can make you thin" at first it may seem like one of those church broadcasts with a pastor preaching. Only it is not. He doesn't touch your head and push you so hard that…

One pound of body fat is equal to 3500 calories. A healthy rate of weight loss is approximately one to two pounds per week. If…

steps steps steps Question
I've read that in a day, it is good to get 10,000 steps in. I'm sure not all of us are able to reach that amount. I dug out my old pedomedor and started using it. It is pretty accurate. Steps add up quick too. But when I go left (1) right (2) left (3) Right (4) steps... that would not be so according to the pedometor that…
