I still am just a few pounds heavy enough to be considered obese. I sure would love to be below that obese line? Any ideas? I have a job that…

Restaurant Choices with Reasonably Low Calorie Meals
I always have a hard time when eating at restaurants. It seems so many items are SO HIGH in calories. We had a gift card for Panera bread and we decided to use it this evening for dinner. I was very happy with the food and few calories I used. I discovered that the half Asian Salad with Chicken was only 200 calories and…

"Sugars"
I am using the MFP diary daily. Should I worry about the values at the bottom of the diary when I have totals of sugar in red indicating I am eating too much sugar? I do eat mostly fruit that results in those numbers. Today I already ate a banana, 2 tangerines, a put 6 raisins in my breakfast oatmeal.

It's a Good Time for Salads

2 Year Weight Loss
My weight loss has been slow recently so I looked at a picture taken 2 years ago and one taken last month. Comparing the two pictures sure helps. The pictures tell the story and help me to "press on".

BMR, exercise, and calories
I just checked my BMR under the APPS tab. It told me my BMR is 1336 calories. I have been limiting myself to 1100-1300 calories a day. I usually stay 1100-1200 on days I do not go to the gym, but do approach 1300 on gym days. As I have been losing weight, the cardio machines tell me I am burning up less and less calories…

One Year Using MyFitnessPal
One year ago today I started using MyFitnessPal. 365 days later, I must say that I am so glad for this online tool! It has made a real difference.

I am considering seeing my doctor, but I don't know if I am more afraid that they will not…
