Hi! I just figured out how to reply to a post. Sorry it took so long to answer.
I have a TERRIBLE time working out at all. My goal is just to get up and dance for 10 minutes every day. I only did 2 days last week. I'm going to really make an effort this week. I just started here a week ago, and I haven't learned yet how to get all the water in either. Well, I'm doing better on the food. I hope you have a good day today!

M2M,
AAck! I'm trying to figure out how to reply to posts.
I really appreciate all your encouragement.
My calorie range is 1200 - 1550.
I've been over 3 of 7 days, I think. I've only danced 2 of 7 days.
I'm really starting from many bad habits. I have a hard time getting all the water, too. The posting here is helping me with the food I eat, though. I will do better this week as I adjust to changes!!
Thanks again,
Cheryl

Hey Cheryl! Wow I wish I had the motivation like you do to write everything down. I tried to follow your action and post my intake, but I only did it for yesterday. I kind of didn't feel like it today, with all the gunk I had.
Great intake for you though

Hi back lose it!!
I keep track of what I eat on sparkpeople.com, then transfer it over here. It keeps track of the nutrients and so on. I like to see how many calories and fats & stuff I'm eating. I'm so pleased with this forum.
It's kinda weird how people you don't even know can be such a help!! Thank-you!
Have a good day!

Yesterday's food:
3 oz 2% cottage cheese mixed with
3 oz blackberry yogurt
Tyson chicken tenderloin, breaded x 2
(one at lunch & one at dinner)
3 slices of pizza
3 See's chocolates
1 lemon popsicle
No exercise.
Got my water.
Stayed in my all calorie, fat, and protein guidelines.
Still very low on calcium and fiber.
Too much sodium.
I'm feeling aware of what I eat, since I write it down, but I'm not sure if I'm really changing habits. My goal is the water, which I'm having victory in, but the exercise is NOT happening. I really resist doing ANYTHING active. I took off my pedometer yesterday about 5 pm because it only read 2,222. That's HALF of "sedentary". Oh dear.
