Starting again after a long hiatus
Well it's been a while since I have used this site but I'm back and realize the need for keeping track of those calories. It's funny how you think you may be eating well but then load the food information. Reviewing the excess calories along with the high fat intake is a clear answer to the question I have had which was "I…

Curbing Fast Food Cravings
So last night I was on a 45 minute drive home. I had a good day and ate my normal foods and even got in some extra walking for the last car show of the year. I was eyeballing the burgers they had at the event which would have been perfectly fine for my calorie count but at their price it just wasn't worth it. So that is…

Can you eat calories before you burn them?
I have seen a lot of posts about people eating their calories back after exercising. So does that count for before and does it work the same? If I know I'm going to be doing some extra activites that is going to burn a few more calories than usual should I eat them before hand since I will not be eating them after. Thanks…

From Corn Dogs and Burrito's to yogurt
So by about this time each day (10:30am) I would have normally had a Sugar Free Rock Star and one 20 oz diet Dr. Pepper. On top of that would be a corn dog, burrito and egg roll of the local snack truck. Sometimes it would be chicken strips and jojos to go with a corn dog. When I was feeling really good I would have…

Healthy places to eat out?
I will be traveling all week. Hotels and lots of windshield time. Are there decent places to stop to get semi healthy quick meals? I've been doing really well but when I can't cook for myself I see the challenge that is ahead. I will be in FL if there are any specific regional places.

So feeing better and back eating the way I should yesterday it was 290 and today it was 288. Anyone see large movements like that?

Need help. I'm sucking like a Hoover
I started with a bang adding foods and counting all my calories. Great first week and lost that inital water weight which was about 8 lbs. Half way through week two I was still doing great then "BAM!" nasty cold. I've felt like crap and when I feel like crap I eat like crap. Now I'm coming out of it and havn't worked out…

cheese-a-holic
OK I have been doing really good about not having much cheese. One slice on my sandwich instead of 2 and not snacking on it. I'm getting to the point now I'm have some serious cravings. I love cheese and don't really want to cut it out that much. Has anyone found a good tasting low fat or lower calorie cheese. I hate that…

New found Eating Out Idea
So yesterday I sat down at a little hole in the wall place for a meeting. It was about brunch time and everyone ordered breakfast including me. I was brought up as you always finish everthing on your plate and nothing goes to waste and the breakfast came and it was huge. I was sitting there thinking this is a lot of food…

Diet Dr. Pepper Lover
OK so I know you're suppose to drink lots of water (not really my thing but I drink some) but I love my soda (about 5 per day). It's all diet that I drink but I have heard mixed reviews on whether or not the diet sodas obstruct weight loss. I'm open to some opinions on this and would like to know if any soda lovers have…

Dinner Calories (Save Them?)
So I am really new here and this is the first time I have tried focusing on calorie intake. It's going well but I'm just wondering if people have experiance in maybe saving a few extra calories for dinner on days they may know their eating out. Today I am left with about 865 calories for dinner out of 1900 for the day…

Wow! This is me doing this
So after visiting the Dr and hearing all the bad news that the extra weight is causing I think it's finally time for me to listen. It's amazing how long I have heard and known what the damage can be and that I have ignored it. So my Dr. said try a personal food diary and I found this site which seems to be layed out very…
