Feeling guilty...must confess...
I went out of town for three days to visit my parents and I ate HORRIBLY!!! (Well, I ate like I ate before I was on a diet...on my regular days...not my superbad days) I weighed this morning and i am up 4lbs. while I am sure that most of that is water weight from the saltyness of EVERYTHING I ate the past 3 days...I am…

Red Team!
Good morning everyone! Any challenges for today?
-
Too much salt!
I entered my food for today (what I am planning on eating) and I am WAY over on sodium! If I drink extra water will that keep me from retaining water from the excess sodium?

Self control!
My fiance was hungry while we were running errands and so we stopped by Burger King. He ordered 2 doubled whoppers with a large fry (he is 6'1" and weight 160lbs...and NEVER exercises...i could kill him:grumble: ). i didn't order anything, and I didn't even eat one fry! :smile: I have always been terrible with my self…

Eating out for dinner
So, normally when you eat out you have to eat practically nothing to stay within your calorie limit...but not tonight! I went out with a friend to Ruby Tuesday's and like a good girl i went to their website beforehand to see what i COULD eat (their menu does not have a "good for you" section, but they do online). So I had…

Help! So much left!
I just finished logging my calories for the day, and i have 341 left! My dinner was a hodge-podge of a bunch of stuff...and I thought it would add up to much more than it did. It's 11pm where I live...should I eat the rest, or is it too late? I don't feel hungry...but I don't want to ruin my diet my "starving" myself! What…

Skinny houseguests...
My fiance's two younger brothers and one of their girlfriends have come to visit for a week. They are all SUPER SKINNY and eat like HOGS! :noway: They eat TONS of food at meals, then snack in between (not regulat snacks..a box of mac and cheese...a package of ramen...a sanwicch...REAL FOOD). While the foods I have been…

Over a week!
It sounds silly, but I never last a whole week! :blushing: It has been 8 days since I "started" (I have been "using" this site for over a year, but I never stick to it)! I've made some progress with my weight and I can already feel my clothes fitting better! One week down and MANY to go! I know I can do it this time!…

Vent!
So, I had been making some progress...lost 4lbs in a little over a week! Then I bought a new scale...one that is more accurate...and this morning i weigh what i did before I lost the 4lbs. I know it's just because the new scale is my actual weight...and I didn't really gain weight...but it has totally bummed me out! I'm in…

I just got a new scale that measures % body fat...and OMG was i SHOCKED, AMAZED, and HORRIFIED at what it said! It said i am 37& body fat! :noway: :sad: :mad: Well, that definitely freaked me out! I tell you what though, there will be a whole lot less cheating on calories and days off working out for me! :grumble:

What to eat at a Thai restaraunt...
I am meeting some friends for lunch at a local Thai place...what can I get that won't have TONS of calories? Any suggestions?
-
I need a new scale...
My scale is terrible! It is one of the super cheap ones and it is super inaccurate! I can get up to a 10lb difference in weight depending on how I stand on the scale. This morning when I woke up I weighed myself before going to the bathroom and after...according to my lame scale I gained 4 lbs after i used the restroom!…

O'-freakin'-Charley's!!!!

I even managed to skip their tasty rolls (I was TRYING to be good!)!!! Come to find out my lunch had 994 calories!!! :mad: :explode: :sad: Here is the…

Not losing weight!!!
I started working out (walking, hiking, swimming, jogging, aerobics classes, etc) 3-6 times per week about 3 months ago. I am noticeably more fit, i don't get winded as easily, and i am firmer, but I haven't lost ANY weight. I weigh 185lbs, so it's not like I'm just a few pounds from my goal weight (155lbs). I have been…

Hiking!!!
My friend and I have been hiking on local trails 2-3 times a week. Today we tried a new trail and it was INTENSE!!! 2 full hours of steep inclines and winding trails! I looked up the number of calories burned hiking for 2 hours: 1,012!!! How awesome is that! I will definitely be doing much more of this! It was fun,…

1200 Calories a day
My recomended calorie intake for the day is 1200. I try to eat close to (within 50) but not over the number of calories i am supposed to eat, plus any exercise calories. Because my recomended cal intake is 1200 and the minimum calorie intake is 1200 it always fusses at me for being under...but i sure don't want to go…
