Oh, Judy! I'm so glad that you've done so well! 3 pounds is fantastic! Unfortunately, I can't allow myself any sort of "junk food", even in small amounts. A small amount always turns into wolfing down the whole package (those 100 calorie packs? I'd end up eating most of the box, which defeats the pointOriginally Posted by JLC
). But I'm SO glad that you're able to do it! It keeps you from felling deprived.
I wanted to add, about the tracking your food aspect. In regard to websites to track your food intake, I wanted to say that I use www.fitday.com (just to provide options, if anyone's interested). It sounds like Judy's site is very similar. I like how Fitday's set up (it's very easy to navigate). It tracks your food, exercise, weight, etc. I liked the free online version so much, that I bought their $25 program for the PC.
littleindiangirl, if you're determined to make the changes, you will succeed. If your eyes are bigger than your stomach, I might try tracking my calories for awhile. Once I started weighing and measuring my food, I was shocked at how many MORE calories I had been eating than I thought I was (eyeballing is rarely accurate). Be careful about running in the wintertime, too! After having to go out in my car today during a snowstorm, it reminded me why some people shouldn't have drivers' licenses! I prefer doing HIIT for cardio, or taking a class at the gym to runningBut if running's your thing, then do it! Whatever you enjoy for exercise!
Let's do it, ladies!
