How to break a bad habit
I saw this video last night and found it very helpful. so...this morning I made a list of what actually makes me happy and what makes me unhappy. I've decided at the start of my day, I'm going to look at this list and focus on doing what makes me happy. I want to not see that as a "struggle" or a negative. When you see it…

how do I get past just doing it a day? Just one day? (then the next, the next, etc)
Been on/off this sight for a year. Every time I "start again" it's because I can't seem to just do it for one day! I log in my food for breakfast/lunch, but then dinner rolls around and I want to eat what I want and have my wine (2 glasses). That ruins it for the day, cause then I want dessert, etc. so I blow it.…

deja vu
I've started this again for the 10,000th time. I'm a serial "starter"..... not sure what stops me from going forward other than the fact that I have to be honest - I just want to eat what I want to eat. The results, I need to lose 80 pounds. It's me - just me - the thing is how to work out the fact that I can't simply "eat…

starting over again and again and again
So here I am AGAIN starting over. I'm a professional dieter - and know that my problem is commitment. That's the hardest thing I need to work on - I know what to do, but have to simply do it. Is there anyone else out there that struggles with this? My thyroid disease hinders me from losing weight but I have to stop using…

How can you stop Exercise from adding more "earned" calories for today
when I put in my exercise,the "food" recorder automatically adds the calories that I've exercised off to the calories for the day like I've "earned" them. I don't want this to happen - does anyone know how to stop the website from doing this?

Flip flop
So here I am again - a new day, and deciding that I'm going to do this one day at a time. Have been flip flopping the same 10 pounds for a year - stuck between 220 and 230. Now today I'm 232. I have decided I WILL NOT let the scale get any higher.... so I'm here. I've logged in my food for today and eating 1/2 of what I…

Starting again and again and again
Happy Monday! Got on the scale this morning and lost the 2 pounds I gained. I love Monday - I feel like it's the start of a new day. So today I'll focus on documenting my foods. I currently weigh 224.8 and are 5'3". I'm turning 60 in October which is a bit bitter sweet for me - my dad passed away at 59 years old (30 years…

Back again - this time for sure!!
My goal this year is to document what I'm eating so I can see the "true" calories.... like many people I "think" I'm doing OK but never lose. I also am committed to walking 2 miles in 40 minutes at least 3 times a week. My first goal this year - get under 200 (I'm at 226) for the first time in 15 years. Once I'm under 200…

Day one - again
need help with getting over the "urges" .... I'm sure you all put food in your mouths without thinking. In doing this instead of losing weight - over the past 3 months I've gained 10 pounds. I walked 2 miles each day for past 3 days and gained 2 pounds. Very frustrating. I'm 5'3" and my husband is 6 feet - I keep eating…
