I'll Be Honest

I am a really bad dieter! I did so good eating healthy and exercising for the first 2 weeks and lost 5 pounds. Since then, I have gone back to my old habits and have gained back the 5 pounds. I am going to recommit myself today and try a little harder. I'll keep you all updated.

Allie and Daren: The Tap and Track

So we wanted to Thank those who have put this challenge together. Our eyes have been open to a whole new world of eating and what we have been eating. We found this app on our I phones its called Tap and Track it counts all the calories you eat and if you don't know how many calories it has you can search it. It even has all the resturants and the calories of each Entree. It made us sick to see how many calories we were consuming in a day. If you don't have an Iphone you can do it on the internet too! We love the recipes- if anyone has more please share. We have had to change a lot of our meals. And to Erma we would love the recipe of your Pumpkin Muffins from the Halloween party- as I recall they only had 50 calories? Thanks and good luck to you all.
