Thanks Coach K I'll stick with it. There are some things about + I like better, but there's trade off in everything. 

 So Nana would you say the journal is really critical to your weight loss?  It sounds like you gained when you stopped writing it down.

Yes, the food log is really helpful. I started last year about this time and did well writing every thing down.  I stopped and I gained. It seemed like a lot of time at first but it must be done.  Is anybody going to journal?  Many people say it's crucial to the process. I would do it but I think it would only be open to the friends list.  I put my picture up but took it down because I'm a bit paranoid on forums. I'll see if I can add it for friends only since I've added you guys.  Well this is my "I really want to snack time of day" so I'll make a cup of tea and have a small slimfast bar.

I up graded to the Calorie count Plus....it's kind of disjointed and  a little harder to find things. I can't find the weight graph now either.   Oh well

I get a bit flustered trying to figure all this stuff out AND lose weight jeeesh LOL, it's know wonder I'm over weight I'm techno challenged!
To tag it ---- at the very top of the thread page on the right hand side it says TAG IT just hit that button then when you got to your account page at the top line hit  Tagged Items or something like that,and the forum will be there.  I get to distracted if I go into all the threads.  So I'm just gonna stay here with us 40's -50's group.

Good Morning Sue,Theresa, Revins, Hasta & Betty,

Looks like six of us here so far! All in the same boat.  At least with us gardeners we'll have flowers and veggies on board our ship. (Sorry, just my little attempt at humor) I need to be accountable to somebody soooo......I'm going to let you guys know that I stayed the course each morning from the previous day. I'll be honest if I mess up too. I want to say one positive thing I've done or accomplished to hopefully encourage toward our goal. I do better with a bit of a template as you can probably tell.

1.) I food logged and excercise logged and checked in here.

2.) I threw out food that would just get me in trouble later today.

Question for the day!

How many calories a day are you all doing? And do you use the food tracker on this site?

1550 and yes

Good Luck everybody, Karen

I had to tag this thread or I would have never found it again LOL!

Hi Sue,

I'm back on the forum after GAINING weight through the year. I'm 49 and need to lose 35 lbs. I also love gardening and live in Michigan, UGH it's cold. I did the log and it was helpful but didn't stick with it. I may not be real chatty but I'd love to have someone to check in with. I think it's nice to know someone else is out there trying to do the same thing.  Just think how much easier bending over to weed will be come spring! My weight is starting to affect the things I love to do. That's unacceptable. Will this be our check in thread?

Breakfast starting tommorrow: cottage cheese, 1/2 english muffin, TB of jam.

Here's to Healthy Holidays!
