ns1029's Journal

This week a friend sent an email with a link to Calorie-Count and I'm finding it to be so helpful. I'm learing how to enter foods - yeah!! . I've joined and last night my grandson added the tool bar so I can see my Eat Meter while at the computer blogging! I'm in a Weight War this summer and I'm losing. A group of my friends who paint together, Canvas by Canvas, decided we needed to lose some weight. We were eating in a local barbecue joint and looked around and everyone was large, then we looked at ourselves and decided we could stand to lose a few. Those participating each threw $50 into the pool and there will be a nice little roll of cash awaiting Sept. 4, 2007 when we have our weigh-in. One in the group has already lost 15 lbs. I think I've lost maybe 6 or 7 and we're calculating the win on % lost and I'm larger to begin with. Now it's time to get serious during the month of August and I need to lose 3 lbs. per week. I think the Calorie-Count community may be what I need. One of the group joined Weight Watchers last week. I belonged after I retired in 2000 and lost 20 lbs. but I'd added it back and I didn't want the expense or a fixed schedule. There is great information here and it's free.
I've written a question about the best way to print out a recipe as I didn't see a Print Here button so I guess it's copy and paste and print. Contact said they'd get back to me with the answer. There is so much good information here it will take awhile to digest.
July has been very busy as I'm contributing to other art blogs and if you're interested, leave a comment or better yet subscribe in the top right or top left column.
