This means I lost 17.6lbs in 6 weeks and I couldn't be happier!!:bigsmile: This site has really helped me stay accountable in…

Today I did...
After being sick for a week, I was finally able to exercise today. I burnt 480 cal doing 50 minutes on the elliptical. I also burnt another 200cal walking to the grocery store and back to pick up fish for tomorrow. It feels so good to get those extra calories!!! I was going over by a couple of hundred everday cuz I was so…

Over 1100 calories....
Okay, so yesterday I had a bad day. Although I didn't eat any "junk" food, I still managed to eat just under 1100 calories extra. When I finished logging in all my food it MFP told me I would be 4.5 heavier in 5 weeks if everyday were like yesterday. That was a reality shock for me. I love that feature cuz it really puts…

It's almost 2pm and....
I've already gone over my calories by 78. My kids and I are sick with bronchitis. They are really in bad shape, fevers back to back for 4 days. I haven't slept and I can stop thinking of food. Although I haven't eaten anything bad like chips or cookies, I'm still over and I'm too sick to burn off the calories by…

Today I did....
Good morning all, After a long night up with my 2 year old due to bad dreams (according to her, there were bugs in her bed crawling all over her), I decided the only way I was going to get energy today was to work out, well it worked. I burnt 701 cal by doing Turbo Jam and the 35 minutes on the elliptical and I can't…

yet another snow day
Okay all, I am going to snap. We had another snow storm last that included freezing rain. So, with 4 extra children with me today (I run a childcare business) I really need some support so I don't turn to cookies. We've gone sledding which helped pass a little time but I still have 5 hours to avoid over eating. We've done…

Just tried Shirataki noodles...
for the first time. I really like the taste but the texture, I'm having a really hard time. Has anyone found any tricks to make it less rubery? Or, it is what it is. I have the tofu angel hair version. I really want to like these but I need to figure out a way to adjust to the texture. I'm one of those weird people who…

one of those days
I've been so hungry all day. I've eaten what I normally do but some days you just need more. I even had my dinner early (4pm) knowing I am going to work out later but I still needed something. My solution, 1/2 cup of 1% cottage cheese with 1 large sliced banana. It hit the spot perfectly! It may sound gross to some people…

I didn't eat any chips..
As a child, whenever we were sick my mom would always have a bowl of salty chips for us. It's so psychological for me as an adult because every single time I get a cold, I want my plain ruffle chips! I'm not going to lie, I wanted them but I didn't have any, not even one. This is huge for me. Yeah baby!

Stupid weather!
I'm starting a stupid sore throat. I took 2 vitamin C's and I'm currently boiling garlic and ginger so I can drink it. Anybody else know of any "tricks' to help get rid of a sore throat? I'm doing so good at losing weight and I can't afford to be sick right now. It's -23C with the wind right now but 2 days ago it was +1C.…

been up since 3:30am
:yawn: Good morning to those who are up! My youngest daughter woke up this morning vomiting. So, I've been giving baths, doing laundry and cleaning carpets for about 2 1/2 hours now. I attempted to work out but my daughter came down to the basement and vomited again, so I guess no exercise for me until she feels a little…

They smell so good...
Just made some banana chocolate chip muffins for the kids I baby-sit after school and they smell so good, I can't stand it. I need to learn to not eat the baked goods I make because that's how I became overweight. Although I make healthy changes to my recipes like adding whole wheat and using apple sauces instead of oils,…

New girl from Toronto
Hi, I just read Valerie's introduction and mine is almost identical. I have 2 small children and I am also an emotional eater. Along with the self help book I just bought, I know that this website will set me off on the right eating path. I've always written down what I eat when I'm "dieting" but my writting is so bad that…
