But then the second time where i purposely tried to lose weight by just...

Re: BackToThin's CheckIn

Thanks Soprano and Staff Assistant III for your responses! I do actually believe that all calories are created equal -- at least from a high level weight loss perspective. I think there is evidence to support the idea that that the 100 calories of Twizzlers will be processed differently than the 100...

Randomly got a period this weekend, resetting the menopause clock again. Technically you are not in menopause until you have not had a period for 12 months.
I know! So frustrating!!!

I've had menstrual cramps and hot flashes on the same day !!!

Re: BackToThin's CheckIn

Welcome! I also hate calorie counting. Luckily for me I hate it so much, I never did it for more than one week. I did not have the brain space for it with a demanding job and a kid. I have to do plenty of counting (money) at work. I cannot be wasting time on what exactly is in this creme fraiche an...

Re: BackToThin's CheckIn

Three weeks in! That's awesome! You've hit a terrific milestone. Does it feel like a habit now? It does! I found it somewhat easy to transition into it because my habits were basically already leaning towards no S just from finding what worked and trying to get out of under counting every single cr...

Re: BackToThin's CheckIn

Hey ThisIsNotABadIdea! I know right? There I was passing up a piece of pear at a cooking class because I didn't know the calorie count but eating frozen pizza because I did. Stupid! I did not get fat by eating pear samples at cooking classes. What in the world was I thinking? Of course we have to be...
