jen, i hate doing that too. like, really really hate it!

but i agree, logging and counting and having a calorie goal has

helped me immensely.

once i got to my goal weight, i stopped doing it. but after

about a month of not logging, i know that i am backsliding and

not eating right again, and ive gained 2 pounds back in the last

week (how can i gain 2 pounds in a week but take a month to lose

2 pounds?!?)

so..... would you like to take me up on a calorie counting

challenge for august?

I'm in!  I track my food in an Excel spreadsheet.  I actually like doing it, believe it or not, UNTIL I eat something bad and log it in, then I don't want to do it anymore out of shame!Carolyn, I can email you and Jen my daily intake if it doesn't bother you, and you can do the same with me if you feel like it  pinkpussycat@...

Anyone else?

LOL... thats funny! arent we supposed to be shamed out of eating

the food instead?

i would be honoured to serve as your accountability for this

challenge. so please feel free to send your logs.

i will be using fitbit.com because it will automatically keep

track of my calorie burn (i manually enter workouts that have HRM

data), applies that to the food intake i have recorded, and tell

me, at any point in the day, how many calories i have left to eat

so i can reach my set goal.

this has been the easiest and most accurate way that i have found

to figure out how many cals to eat each day.

fitbit.com wont let me print my food log though i will

have to look into an add-on or something so i can send my logs to

you.

the problem that you may see in my logs is that i will under-eat

on days that i work alot of hours. on my days off, i tend to

over-eat. ugh! so my goal is to be consistently on track for

the right number of calories each day in order to maintain my

weight at 115lbs (currently 117lbs, 31 pounds lost in the last

year).

That's when you REALLY need to do it. When admit what you've done you actually feel better, because you know you're taking responsibility and moving forward, otherwise you know you're just hiding and it starts a bad spiral.To: exercisevideos Sent: Wed, August 1, 2012 2:00:55 PMSubject: Re: calorie counting challenge

Yep!  That pretty much sums it up!

Sure! That would be great Caroline. I warn you that my calories will be high for Sunday night though because my Mom is FINALLY taking me out for my birthday dinner...it's only 5 months late LOL. I always go to Red Lobster for that, I LOVE fish and seafood of all kinds. Jen

Jen - my calories will be terrible this weekend because of our kraft family reunion.  I'm gonna start on Monday! Like , weekends are hard because I'm off my daily work routine and am being social. More later on new inspiration though!
