I saw the smart phone app thread and got me thinking. Y'all that are tryin to lose weight or "be healthier" check out this app for the iphone (not sure about android)...It's called "my fitness pal" helps you keep track of calories taken in and burned pretty neat. Once you start seeing just how many calories are in some of the food you eat it makes you change your tune pretty quick
I quit that app and went back to my notebook. Handwritten was actually faster. Plus by now, I know in my head the caloric values for most things I eat.

Once you start seeing just how many calories are in some of the food you eat it makes you change your tune pretty quick I tried that app, one thing I noticed. Many of the caloric database is built on user contributions. My can of ravioli might be 200 calories different the one they want me to plug into my daily journal. It got frustrating. I quit that app and went back to my notebook. Handwritten was actually faster. Plus by now, I know in my head the caloric values for most things I eat.
I just used it to get in the ballpark wasn't trying to dial down the exact calorie in take I had. Think the most important of this thread is that yall get your butts up and exercise

And you can never, never, never go wrong with a slice of cantaloupe. They are so friggin good... and healthy. I could eat a whole one any time. That's why a good portion of my garden has cantaloupes (and honeydew) planted. Nothing better. I'll bring a pocket knife and eat one right in the garden sometimes.
Throw a big gob of cottage cheese on them too...good and good for you.

Everyone else does it. It's hard to isolate yourself from it because it's a lifestyle for everyone around you and you are also used to it.

You are correct Ruger, all carbs are NOT created equal, but that point has already been beat to death above.
IF I can leave off the simple carbs, I lose weight very easily. That being said, it is very important for us to eat complex carbs.
For me, portion control and no late night (simple carb) snacking is the key.
I have lost 18 pounds in the last 15 days. This has taken VERY strict control for me (I love to raid the freezer/frig at 9 or 10 pm).
Over the past two weeks my diet has been:
4 power pancakes each morning w/ Water
Apple, medium size around 10 AM
5 wings, with green beans and a side salad for lunch
Apple, around 4 PM as snack
5 more wings or 1/3 pound of Roast Beef (deli cut thin) and a spinach salad, green beans.
Drink tons of water all day long.
Also, have done the Insanity Workout for the last two weeks as well.
