We don't mind a bit. In fact we welcome you. Are you using some kind of programme or pencil and paper?

Yes, WELCOME! Maybe seeing more people joining in will get me back on track.

Susan, don't look at my ticker! I'm so ashamed! It hasn'e moved in a while (at least not in the right direction!):o

not all the way
 

well my mom and dad were here yesterday and brought up chocolate chip cookies. I has some today. I will have to add that in today. All I have to say is I need to just keep trying.

Snack
3 cookies 500
hot chocolate 300

Supper
salmon 300
salad 200
brocoli 100
total 1720 cals

Well not as bad as it could be. well I will have to keep trying.

The plan that I have been trying is to exersice and try to keep my cals around 1500 to 1800 cals. I use pen and paper.

On to another day.

Tanya, have you checked out www.fitday.com ? It is a free tool that lets you log everything throughout the day. It lets you either customize meals or food items, or pick them from a list that Fitday has in its database. It is a bit confusing at first I think, but you may like it. I was hesitant to switch at first from paper/pencil to online but I found it kept me much more accountable. With paper/pencil I was "cheating" a lot and underestimating calories/portions. Looks like your count today is less than the top part of your range, so congratulations! Just logging everything is an excellent start.
