Hi and welcome! This is a great site and I think you'll find it a big help in your weight loss goals. I hear you on the not liking to write everything down! But, I have to admit that I had to do it in some form or another for pretty much all of my weight loss and have done it sporadically throughout my maint. as well...but I totally believe that the only way to keep the weight off is losing it in a way that feels "right" for you as an individual...so if not recording your food works for you than go with it. Like Hisgal says, you can always try it later if you need to. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress in 2010.

Hisgal and Sueno for stoping by and offering encouragement and welcome. Sorry Hisgal for making the mistake of calling you Angel40.

I have been doing some checking on the site and my BMI is 34.9 and body fat if I calculated correctly is 50%.....Wow....now that has to change. At least my BMI is on the bottom half of obese. New Goal: I want to get to just overweight and not obese. Just hate that word Obese. Have no idea how many lbs. that would be.

Seems I should write everything down and I do in a way. I have a meal plan given to me by a diatitian and it is pasted on my fridge door. I will start writing down everything I eat that is not on that meal plan.

So far today usual breakfast never changes day to day. Same with morning snack. So it's from lunch time on I must be more vigilant. 30 minute workout done this morning. Everytime I do a walk or workout I put a heart on my calendar.
