Thanks to those of you who reccomended Fitday. I have been using it and it is so much easier than tracking by hand! I love it! I think I am on day 5 and according to the scale I have lost 2 pounds. LOL- only 112 to go!!! Tracking everything is so eye opening. I noticed from the little pie chart on Fitday that the majority of my calories are fat and carbs. Here I thought I ate quite a bit of protein. I guess not!
Lol - I loved your post. I agree - tracking things is very informative. I used to laugh at the obsessiveness of people that kept track of every morsel. Now I realize the wisdom of their actions. I think Fitday is one of the main reasons I have been able to stay on track and lose this weight. I use the PC version, and consider it one of the best investments I have ever made
Congrats on your discovery Mary! If you want people to offer suggestions as to how to get in more protein, feel free to post your menus and ask for help.
What a great attitude - to ONLY have 112 lbs to go! Here I am whining about 12 lbs to go, puts "poor me" in perspective. When I first started fit day I was amazed at the "fat" I ate. Even today I was, I thought I was eating a lot of protein too. I bought that whey protein stuff from the health store and stick it in my oatmeal in the am or have a shake (whey mixed with water), and that seems to do the trick on the charts... It's a little gross though.
