Heather added an entry about lose weight : Today was bad. I ate a lot of spaghetti. I had it for breakfast and lunch. Then we had Chinese for dinner. No exercise except walking up 3 flights of stairs. Which only burns 4 calories.

upgradem08 added an entry about lose weight : okay so this is my first day back from my major two week slump. it went pretty good. so far (as of 9:30) i’m sticking to my calorie range for the day. I went to Spin even though i didn’t feel like it. and I resisted the urge to eat a huge helping of strawberry shortcake with tons of whip cream and wash it down with a pop. but there are still several hours before I go to bed and i’m hanging on to this thin thread of motivation… :) good luck everyone!

santoriniplease added an entry about lose weight : today was kind of bad: -coffee -half tuna sandwich on whole wheat -small bowl of chili -another half tuna sandwich on whole wheat -small bowl of broccoli cheese brown rice -1/4 bagel w/ cream cheese -couple of sweet potato chips -a smore’s (graham cracker, marshmallow & chocolate) no exercise. i have got to incorporate the exercise again. gotta find that motivation because i know even if i just drop pounds that doesn’t equal a fit body. i want to be toned for the summer. anyway, i am going to call it a night and get some sleep, need it if i am going to workout tomorrow! :D

khaosinkinema added an entry about lose weight : Here I am starting it all over again. Because of the fact I was quite lazy and ate like there was no tomorrow, I gained weight again. My new diet starts today, and I am looking forward to it, to having more energy, to not wanting to sleep all the time, and so on. I will eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and I am looking forward to eating salad more often again (every meal should be accompanied by salad). So I used the balance this morning. My weight to start with is 87.5 kilos (I am about 5’3” tall :( ...). Phew. I also got a weight loss ticker to see what my progress will be like. And I think I will post more often now concerning this goal (that’s a promise!! Or a threat maybe?? (grin)).

As many of you know, I'm not a big fan of frozen processed type foods. But, I do try to keep an open mind when tasting some of these products. This latest addition to the Lean Pockets line of frozen snacks caught my eye because there are now a few flavor options "made with whole grain !"
