Hi everyone! Yesterday I realized I wasn't getting anywhere so I decided to weigh everything and log it in the food journal.
I am paying close attention to calories. No grazing! I realize how much I do that...bacon, cheese, peanut butter...it adds up.
I took a walk at lunch. It was a real struggle. I don't mind so much it being hard...its just painful on my knees. I have to lose this 50 pounds so things will be a little easier. ok well I am going to the gym to exercise on the bike. I can do a 10 minute mile on level 2. Again, it's not much but the bike doesn't hurt my knees.
Have a great day!

Logging is a very good idea and a helpful tool.

Keep working on your biking. You will be able to increase that time before you know it

That's why I love this site, it's so easy to log and count calories. Knowing how many calories are in a wee bit of cheese or a spoonful of peanut butter really brings it home - certainly freaked me out! I admire your determination to continue your journey 👍👍

Not much? It is! You’re way ahead of those sitting on the couch! I am a fellow biker due to a knee injury. It’s great exercise! WTG and keep up the good work!

It's rather eye-opening when we begin logging - in greater detail - the food we eat... way to go!

Logging what you eat is a great idea. I know it really helps me. I'm less likely to take mindless bites of things because they add up. An exercise bike is good when you have bad knees. Water exercises are also good.

I have to measure everything because I'm terrible at judging an amount, especially if I'm hungry or snacky. Example, I spooned out what I THOUGHT was 2 tbsp. of peanut butter one day, but stopped myself and weighed it. It was closer to 1/4 cup!. I ate still ate it, but at lease I knew where I stood. I prefer to weigh things because it saves dishes if it's all going into the same bowl. :D

Shelly, weighing /measuring and logging is such a good habit! My digital kitchen scale allows me to zero the weight of almost any container, before I put in the food I'm weighing. That scale "lives" in my food prep area, and gets daily use.

I keep my digital scale on the counter and weigh everything except liquids. I like to weigh in grams because it's more accurate, especially when measuring fruits and vegetables. One cup of small strawberries weight more than one cup of large ones.
