Hi ladies,
Well, the new year isn't here yet but it's not too soon to start over is it? I have been doing terribly with my eating habits and exercise. Actually to be fair I shouldn't even mention exercise since its been non-existent! But it's a new day!
I found a really cool app for my ipod that helps me to track my daily food values, my weight, waist size, water intake, etc. It's called ishape. It cost me 99 cents (New Years sale), and its worth every penny.
According to it's calculations for me, I can eat 1239 calories a day (more if I exercise), and to reach my goal weight it should take 11 weeks - losing 2 pounds per week. Updating my food intake at every meal keeps me conscious of what I am eating, and if I stay under my daily goal, I get a nice green checkmark to cheer me on. Otherwise it's a red x. Boo hoo. So I started yesterday. I was actually able to eat almost 1800 calories because I got on my treadmill and jogged.
So here are my stats:
Current weight: 164lbs
Goal weight: 140lbs
Waist: 35 inches
BMI: 25.7
Countdown to reaching goal: 10 weeks, 6 days
Unfortunately yesterday I earned the big red x, for going over about the size of a banana in my caloric intake. However, it's a LOT better than I had been doing, so I am feeling good about it. :) Hopefully today will be even better.
Hugs to you all. Talk soon!

I have a iPod application called Fit is that the one you downloaded? I think I paid $5...I don't love it though. => I should use it more often. LOL!
Sounds like a great tracker. I downloaded it today with the sale. Thanks for mentioning it. I've been keeping track manually on the pc. I can easily eat more than 1200 because I sometimes burn that much in a workout, but I try not to go over 1500.
You're doing a great job and its a new year and a time to start fresh! You can DO IT!
Oops sorry it's right there...iShape...my bad. =>
I want an ipod! I'd hoped for Christmas, but no such luck. So I'm saving for it with my exercise stash!
