About Me

February 2012 UPDATE:
I'm back on track! In January I lost 7.4 pounds. I got a BodyBugg for Christmas and (although it is not crucial to my success) it has helped put wind in my sails. It really helps me to push me to try and create that 750-1000+ daily deficit. I'm feeling back on track, present, aware and ready to make 2012 a great year with positive year-end results!

January 2012 UPDATE:
From 2009 to 2010 I lost 100 pounds. In 2011 I gained 25 pounds back. I never "unplugged" completely, but I was just not making the right decisions to balance work and life and health in the way to ensure success. Now in 2012, I am fighting my way back. I cannot end up where I left off. I can't let all the work and success I realized be undone. And I must continue on to reach a healthy weight. Ready set, go.

CharityShantell posted Digital Scales in the group Digital Scales
“Hi everyone - today as I was measuring and weighing my food for lunch, I decided I wanted to come here and encourage you to get a scale if you can. One of our scales we got at Costco recently for under $20. The other one we found new and still in the box at a thrift store for around $13. Having a scale has been invaluable to me. Also - more recently I'm finding that it works REALLY well to measure negative weights. For example, today I was adding ingredients like cream cheese to something I had going in my food processor. Well, I put the cream cheese container on the scale and zero'd it out. Then I scooped out cream cheese until the weight measured NEGATIVE 30 grams. Then I knew I had taken out 1 serving of the cream cheese. More and more I'm using this negative weight process to scoop things out of the container, like cottage cheese, salsa, nut butter, on and on. So I thought I'd share. If you're serious about tracking accurately, get a digital scale!!! ”

“Hello! This group hasn't been active but if you would like to help make it active, just message me and I'll come join you. I just don't always remember to come check here to see if there is a post. The fact is, I'm really enjoying my regular reading of Lisa's books and blogs and I'm making measurable progress inside and out in 2012. I'm happy to share in the journey with you. Remember, to quote the author "Nothing tastes as good as peace feels." ”
