If you're losing slower than you would like to....
I see all the time on this site, "I'm ONLY losing XYZ a week." I just want to put that into perspective a little because I've done the same things and given up over and over because of it. The truth is, if I had kept going, I would have been at my goal weight 6 years ago. EVEN though I was losing slowly, I would already be…

Working out at night, using the cals the next day instead...

A new entry in the food Data Base
I've added a "Holiday Allowance" into the food DB that will add a 300 calorie bumper to your meal plan for the day. This is how I deal with holidays, birthdays, etc. It's enough extra to feel like a little treat, but not enough extra to keep you from losing for the week. :) I thought it might be helpful to someone other…
