Mine has a scanner too but doesn't always work. I have some fine tremors in my hands so maybe it makes it too shaky! I do like tracking food though. It's very empowering.

I use myfitnesspal. I like that is has lots of entered stuff. Plus bar code reader that let you scan most foods and only enter the how many servings.

Topic: RE: C25K Update

Well today was Day 3 of my week one C25K that I finished the entire workout. So Tomorrow I start week 2. I'm very excited and I'm tracking my progress and information in my blog. I hope you guys are reading it and I hope it's inspiring you. I have two ppl in my bipolar support group that are starting the C25K just because I've talked about it so much curiosity finally got the best of them. I love it. Exercise is contagious. And another thing I'm LOVING about exercising is that I'm not hungry for the rest of the day. I could literally eat only once a day and be more than satisfied. Any way Stay happy and healthy everyone and lets get back on track and stay there!!! HUGS

Topic: Food tracking app

There are a million of them but I think I found a pretty good one. Mynetdiary. It was a free app from google play. Very easy to use and keeps track of so many things.

Something that is becoming apparent to me is that I'm not eating enough at a meal which leads to getting hungry again too soon. It's kinda difficult because the protein I am eating is filling me up. I bought some asparagus to eat with my fish tonight.

Congrats to you. Sounds like you are doing terrific!! I am really struggling to get back on track - I have such great willpower till about 3pm every day. GRRH. Now I have a 21lb gain to deal with. Not good.

I am grateful for the time I had with my hubby before he passed away.

I am grateful for my family and friends that are there for me.

And even though I have health issues, I am grateful to be alive and moving.

Topic: my back on track got a tiny bit off track tonight!

I have been SO back on track!  I have lost six of the ten pounds I want to lose and am feeling great.  I am realizing that if I keep my carbs very low and limited to only veggies/dairy and minimal fruit and stay with dense protein first before eating the veg I am SET.  I don't get hungry for no reason and I am not craving.  AND I got a new pair of skis and am spending as much time as humanly possible in the back country skiing and it is incredible exercise.  So all in all, amazing progress.  BUT tonight, tonight just got away from me. I have my period, the kids are driving me nuts and there was some carb creep and then more carb creep.  And then I was eating leftover chinese food.  Eek.  Not a total nightmare calorie wise but it is a slippery slop and I know it.  So, here I am, coming clean and saying for the record that I am right back to plan from this moment on.  I don't like how I feel when I eat like this.  I want to go back to what works and makes me feel sane.  It helps so much to have a place to go to get support.  Thanks everyone!
