Hey welcome!
I've been on and off this site for a while. I used to think that counting calories was bad; not sure where I got that Idea. What I have found usefull from this site is that I can eat what I want. But I now have a better notion of healthy amounts of food. When I first started tracking what I eat I found that I was consuming around 3,000 calories on some days. Yeah, so just knowing where thoes excesses are coming from makes a big difference for me. Like anything though I have to stick with it. It's easy to slip back into the wrong way of eating, because I have a lot of practice with that. Eating healthy and CORRECTLY is like working a mental muscle that's never been used before. It takes time and repetitive use before it becomes a habit.
Good luck to you.

Accuracy will help to get an idea of where you need to cut back and give you a better all around picture of your eating habits. It is indeed hard to weigh and measure everything. After a couple of weeks I got better at knowing the general oz of the food after looking at it. When in doubt I over-estimate. |

| The Lounge | button down shirts: tucked or untucked? | May 28 2009 07:09 (UTC) |

A very good question. After I gained a lot of weight I hated how I looked with my shirt tucked in. With my shirt out it helps me to cover the fat. With that said though I am in the US Navy and my working uniform is a shirt that must be tucked in. To be honest it looks more professional. And it certainly helps motivate me to loose weight when I have to see myself like that. I can be pretty self conscience though and taking my personal feeling out of it, I still think tucked in looks better. |

| Weight Loss | What do you do on nights like these... | May 28 2009 07:02 (UTC) |

I usually have to look at what I'm doing at that time of the day. Usually when i get that feeling it's because not much is going on and my body feels inactive. I think what I'm really craving at that time is some movement. If at all possible you should try to do some light excersize when that feeling hits you. I know snacking always leads to a binge for me so I have to find something else to do or keep a lot of celery around me. If after a 20 minute jog, I'm still feeling hungery then I will probably have some carrot sticks and a small handfull of almonds. You might look into what kinds of foods make you feel full with lower amounts of calories. I can't do thoes 100 cal snack packs, there really good and I could easily eat three... ok, maybe four of them without a second thought. Going back to the excersize idea... just trying to find something else to do or even getting set up to go for a quick jog will usual get my mind off the food. I think your body will get used to your new eating ruetine and the 4pm cravings might be fewer and farther between. Good Luck and hang in there. |

This really does give me hope. I had been battleing the last few years to keep under 270. Today I hit 250 and I keep working to bring it down. The snaking is hard for me. And I never realized how much I phusically crave bread and rice. But, I'm glad to have read your post today and give me the courage to keep trying. |

I hear you loaud and clear on that one. It has always been expensive to be a vegi lover here in Japan. I've been living here in Sasebo Japan (Near Nagasaki) for almost eight years. I may have to do with a lot of news about diet fads in japan right now. I know this week alone I haven't been able to find Banana's at my local market because of the banana diet. I had to buy one at the "Daily Mart" for 105 YEN FOR ONE!! WTF... but I had also noticed the cucumbers where on the rise too... I will ask some of my co-workers and post back away later. |

That's Great!
QUESTION:
Do you know of any ways that we can help keep our skin from going that way as we loose the weight? For me, I live in Japan and try to go to the Onsen (Hot Springs Spa) once a week. It usually consists of soaking in a Hot Spring, Then a dip in cold water and then a 10 minute sit in the sauna (at 90 degrees Celcius). I do this about three or more times through out a few hours. I think this may help to reduce the excess flabby skin as I loose my weight, but I just started loosing the weight and don't have any medical info to back it up. |
