Calories left over...to eat or not to eat
I've got quite a few calories left over today. Around 519 if I eat back my workout calories. It's getting late and I'm not at all hungry.

I has a NSV today!! :)
I've been having a terrible week of feeling yucky and bloaty which has led to less than great eating and very little exercise. I was really feeling discouraged and feeling like I wanted to give up (which I won't because I want this too badly). I decided to give myself a little retail therapy! So I went out and tried on a…

Food diary calorie counts don't add up? Why?
When I view some people's food diaries and add up their meal totals it often does not add up to what their daily total is displaying. This is the number before exercise calories are deducted. What's up with that? Can you hide part of your logged entries?? I don't think that's it since some of the entries I've been able to…

NSV for me!
It's a small one but to me it's put a smile on my face and is a little proof that I'm making progress even though the scale itself is barely budging. About 6 weeks ago, when I decided to change my lifestyle I was pretty much as inactive as they come. I started by dusting off my Wii Active kit as a starting point. I had…

Upping my calorie intake
I'm going to try upping my calories to 1400 from 1200. I am a bit nervous about it. A lot of days I've been just fine at 1200, but now that i am trying to be more active and exercising I am hoping it will work out for the best. Wish me luck!

How do you handle eating at friends's house for dinner?
The few days in which I have really gone over my calorie goals were eating out at restaurants, PMSing, and eating at friends homes. I expected the eating out at restaurants to be a challenge. I was surprised by how ferocious my appetite was while PMSing. But eating out at friends I thought would not be so challenging!!!…

Is it strange.....???
Am I being weird? I haven't told anyone I know that I have been trying to lose weight. At first it was because I wasn't certain how committed I was and didn't want to look like a failure. Now that I am almost 4 weeks into this and I KNOW I am committed I still don't want to let the cat out of the bag! I have even been…

Sugar in fruit...how concerned should I be?
How concerned should I be with the amount of sugar contained in fruit? Whenever I have a fruit or two it drives up my sugar total for the day and I exceed my recommended limits. Should I not worry so much about these sugars as long as I am not eating too much refined/processed sugary snacks? Thanks!

Bathroom scales....advice?
Can anyone recommend a good scale? Do I need one of those super fancy ones that calculates all sorts of things (water%? Fat%?..etc). Or is it best to keep it simple?
