For the food you can't log...
What do you do with it? Those moments when a random pot of spaghetti shows up or those snacks that you can't find the labels for to put into your MFP. Do you just eat in small quantities until you aren't hungry? Or try your best to estimate and log?

I FINALLY jogged my first mile!
I remember in marching band I couldn't even jog a full lap around the field without being severely out of breath. It was embarrassing. Not only was I (and still am) overweight, but I perfectly fit the description of overweight band geek. It was horrible. When I started college, a majority of my friends were physically fit…

I didn't want to get up and exercise. I didn't want to do anything, but surprisingly enough o.o I did it. I finished my first week…

So I'm kind of excited! :D
I've tried losing weight many times, and I admit it was because I put my health on the back burner for most of my life. I was an overweight kid and an overweight teen that found myself eating a lot of unhealthy food while I mourned my lack of social life behind a computer screen (I still do that now, but with healthier…
