I love it, I type in everytime I eat or excersise & it tells me how many calories, fat, sugar, carbs, etc I have eaten or burned. It helps me to pace my day & make better choices.

 

[Guest]

I will look for a journal tracker. Perhaps we can tract it here in a thread..

 

[Tabitha]

I spend too much on bottled water so Santa brought me a water purifier for Christmas . I drink 2 liters before luch. Before I started to count calories last January I NEVER & I mean NEVER drank water. I crave it now like I will die w/o it.

 

[Guest]

i so cant do that LOL! How the hell did you get that picture there!

I hate water.. and then I said "hmmm flavored water"
No. I need just simple, pure water.
I am going to go and get some on sale at Walmart and buy like 6 cases or perhaps Smart & Final or Costco's

My daughter's birthday was yesterday. She turned 12. A whole lot o Birthday Cake is calling my name.. :roll:

I had to ask my hubby how to do it :wink: .

In the top right hand corner of my keyboard there is a button that says *screenshot*. I clicked on it & it to copy it, I then pasted it into a program (corel) & saved it as an image. I then uploaded the image just like a photo useing image shack.

When I first started to drink water I bought the crystal light flavors you add to water. I liked the teas, there is a white tea w/ raspberry & a green tea w/ citrus. After a while I cut the flavoring in 1/2 & now I don't want flavor at all. It ruins the water taste, I know that sounds odd, but you really do get addicted to straight water & you raelly will love the heck out of it!

I am making pinto beans w/ stewed tomatoes and onions.

I need to go to the store too and get fiber one cereal for my breakfasts & what we refer to as skinny bread. It's the low calorie high fiber bread. You can get it in several brands & it is a life saver!
