Afternoon Everyone
Janie – Hehehe no one will pass out!
I used to think the same thing. Most of the people I see on there are doing like a 1200-1600 calorie diet. I spoke with a regular doctor at Cat State and they told me I was cutting back way to much. I was doing a 1600-1800 calorie diet, when to maintain my weight, I was probably taking in about 3200 or more calories a day. I wasn’t able to see a nutritionist, but the regular doctor says I was cutting back to much to soon. So I figured if I’m taking in about 3200… I would cut down to approx 2600 calories. I know if I posted what I eat every day people would be like HOLY COW!!! So chin up!
Yer not alone in feeling the way you do… believe me *big hugs* I don’t post in the food log forum, but I have a program called Diet Power which is like fitday.com (if you have ever seen it) its basically a program that keeps track of the food I eat for me. I just enter in what I ate, how much water I take in and also it keeps track of my exercise too.. So if I eat 2000 calories and exercise 200 calories off, it will fix my total calories for the day and make it 1800. It’s a pretty good program, I liked fitday.com, but this program is like fitday.com only a bit better. I use this program and I also use calorieking.com it’s a great site where you can look up certain food items like say I had a Fanta Grape Slurpie (tee hee hee) and I wanna know the nutritional info on it. I go to calorieking.com and I can look it up. It doesn’t have everything there, but I know it has Fanta Grape Slurpies *evil grin* Then I can enter the infrmation into the food dictionary on my diet power food database and enter it into my food journal. Heheh sorry, I know I said more than you needed to hear <G> I guess I went off on a tangent hehehe…
Chris – housework is exercise
any little bit of activity helps. I just got done cleaning up my place… it’s still a bit of a pig sty, but it’s getting there. Have fun painting

Leenie – AHH! BOO!
Well today has so far been a good day… I really blew my control last night with my binge eating… but slowly… slowly things will get back to order. Baby Steps! I found out today that even though I’m not quite a teacher yet, as an instructional assistant, and being part of the teachers union (one of the many) I get a discount at certain health clubs, one of which is Curves. Membership services says I can get around 20% to 60% off so I’m really thinking about calling Curves and finding out how much they would cost for me. I just concerned tho because I don’t make that much money… Afraid it would break me… I know that sounds like I’m being cheap… well I am
but I only work 3 hours a day and go to school full time, so I don’t make that much, and I still trying to pay off my tuition and book costs for college…but if it’s a good deal… I just might take up the offer. We shall see
I’ll catch everyone later!
Take care…
