Post your workouts here
Or calorie goals met. This is the atta girl/atta boy thread so we get all our WTGs in. I walked for one hour at the shopping mall. I am going back for another hour shortly.

I haven't been this weight for 10 years.
Today I am finally down to a weight I was in 2003 or so. It's a bit strange for me seeing this number on the scale. Up until now I have looked at the number and it went straight to me understanding the number except for that time I went to the doctors and got weighed for the first time in like 2 years, the 2 weeks later I…

Not everyone that asks how to lose weight needs to lose.
I think I see at least one person a day that I suspect is developing an eating disorder. Or, I will see someone that is very close to goal weight and they are still following a plan to lose two pounds a week. And people will advise them on how to keep their calories really low without bothering to check where this person…

Your best inspirational phrases,
This might be rather long so if you just want to quick post what inspires you I will appreciate that, because it will probably be something I like. But, this isn't about me. So, here goes. My youngest daughter got into a big fight with one of her sisters. What she told me her sister said is well very abusive and I don't…

Calorie counts
It's so easy to be off by 400 or more calories a day. Want to know how easy? My situation in some ways is typical and in some ways not. It's typical in that I could be off on my measurements for say peanut butter. A TBS is around 90 calories, a TBS and 1/4 is about 113 calories, times that by two since most days I have…

I love salt.
I love it so much. But, I gained a pound in a day. I am pretty sure my calories even if I logged them extremely accurately down to the medication I am taking and down to the last sugar free mint that I ate, wouldn't even come close to 3.500 calories over my TDEE. In fact I am pretty sure I was under that even without any…

You do the crime, you have to do the time.
That is what I was thinking when I was walking tonight. I really didn't want to keep walking. It was raining and it was a bit chilly for June. When I was about 3/4 the way through my walk I pulled a muscle (not a serious injury, just enough to be uncomfortable), and I really couldn't get into the mood for walking. But, I…

Keep a food journal.
I think that I might be the only accidental dieter on the planet. Possibly not, but anyway I started this by accident in October. I started eating more fiber. Then I started a journal. The journal turned into a food journal after a couple of weeks. Then I started to be more aware of calories and what kinds of foods made me…

Height and Weight Chart
http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm I have seen so many people asking the question, "why is it so hard to lose x amount of pounds?" They go on to say something like I am 5'8" and I weigh 140 lbs or I am 64 kg and I just want to lose 20 more pounds. I really don't think it's their fault they want to get…

Anyone else doing Balance Rewards?
It's a program with Walgreens they give you points for tracking how much you walk or run and for tracking your weight. I find it motivating on days I don't really want to put in my two mile walk.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaack my grapefruit turned into oranges.
I went to the grocery store today and I bought some grapefruit. So I thought the bag I picked up was from where grapefruit goes. The fruit in the bag was as big or bigger than grapefruit. But, I peeled it and there was an orange inside, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. They are good oranges don't get me wrong. But, there is…

I feel better already
I don't actually know how much weight I have lost since October when I started. But, I do know that I had lost at least one size before finding this site. I have lost an additional 10 or 11 lbs or so since signing up and I feel much better. I hope to lose at least 120 more. I don't just hope I will lose that much more, I…
