I am sorry for the late reply and looking back I don't know where I saw 140 pounds either lol

Thank you so much for the reply and the encouragement. I'ts been 16 days and I've been logging my food. 2 weeks and 2 days- I have not been exercising and I've not been under my calories consistently. I am seeing how many calories I have been taking in and it's definitely an eye opener!

I like your suggestion about the food journal. I need to start doing that. I will put in my food the night before. I will be under say about 200 calories which would give me leeway for a snack at night. But, something will happen during the day to make me mad, sad and let's face it just because- I will end up walking through the break room where I have a healthy lunch and go to a fast food place. By journaling about it I can catch myself.

You are right I don't need to restrict everything. Myfitnesspal records it so that means that I can have a fast food breakfast or lunch one day and eat healthier choices for other meals. Let's face it just eating fast food once a day is a healthier choice for me. I realize how bad my habits have gotten since recording them. But that is a good thing and I can turn this back around.

I really appreciate your reply to my post. It definitely helps to know we are in the same boat.
