I joined a site called my fitness pal.com. You give them your weight and height and how much you'd like to lose per week (I chose 2 lbs)  and it figures calories, fat , carbs, protein, and sodium, etc.


Mine is 1680 calories a day

Then you type what you want to eat into their database for each meal and snacks and it adds it to your daily plan and makes a running total as you add things.

Pretty cool

Now the GOOD PART

1 cup of seedless watermelon has 3 calories and one carb

HELLO!!!

1/2 of a watermelon is no more than 15 calories and 5 carbs.

It's gonna be one of my main snacks!

WOO HOO

(I already had to add a food that was not listed to the database- Chile Relleno Dinner w rice & beans) LOL

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
