Opinions, please...
I’m transitioning into Maintenance, from weight loss. I’m fine with the idea of counting calories/logging food for the rest of my life. But weighing food… Nope. So my idea is to have a 50-100 calorie a day deficit almost every day (not worrying about it Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July, Memorial Day, New Year's Eve,…

Make up day???
Over the weekend I went over on my calorie count... Oops. Since I'm 4'11" and very sendentary my calories are at 1200 a day. I know all the advice about how it isn't safe to go under 1200 a day. But what about having a make up day today where I only have 1085 calories just to make up for eating too many calories over the…

Idea for visual weight loss aid
My friend had a great idea that I'm trying out, and thought I post in case it interests others. Have a glass container with pretty glass beads/polished rocks/buttons/whatever. Say you want to lose 35 lbs. You put in 35 items. Each time you lose a pound you get to take an item out of the container. That way you can watch…

How often to weigh in???
Hi, How often would you suggest weighing in? I'm pretty sure once a day is too often, or no? I've heard once a week, but is that really good advice? Thanks!
