Another app that you may like is called gympact. It’s not out yet for Android but will be soon. I’m waiting patiently for it. Check out the website and you can read what it’s about. They have a running tool, too. It’s basically to hold you accountable for your workouts, etc., and they reward you with cash and different things.

I can’t wait to try it out!

HA I had to learn to love unsweetened coffee! I don’t mind it all now though. But black? I salute you!

I’ve heard other people who like Sparkpeople too, especially for the forums and the support that comes along with an online community.

I really enjoy your blog! I like your descriptions of meals! Good luck!

I use sparkpeople for my calorie/fitness tracking. I like the calorie deficit feature. If I keep my deficits at 800 calorie average I lose weight.

7.5 lbs in nearly 7 weeks is fantastic, especially with just trying to be more mindful with what you’re eating and adding some exercise. Congrats to you too!

I have been using an IPhone app called Lose It to log my food and exercise. I like the app. It sounds a lot like the one your using. Looks like your off to a great start. I did not realize hemp seeds were so protein rich.

Congratulations!!!! That’s an awesome weight loss.

I can’t believe how much Kaz has changed. Wow! He’s going to be running around annoying his big sisters in no time.

This is great because you’re very motivating. I started at the same weight (148) back on August 12th and now I am 140.5. It’s certainly a struggle and believe me, it only gets tougher as you get older. I mean, things that seemed to work two years ago no longer do. I sometimes wonder if I even have a metabolism. (haha)

I’m not dieting or counting calories YET but I’m simply making better food choices and watching my portion sizes. That seems to really make a huge difference. Plus, exercising. I’m not specifically doing that, though, for weight loss but more for toning and just keeping my body active.

Your weight will melt off. Don’t you worry.
