Run the RDI calculator and see what it gives you; usually it's a little high and you can manually enter your own value circa 2,000

Tell me about it... I've got a salad sandwich for lunch and no post snacking dinner rule in force this week!

With an extra serve of crock on the side.

Most mornings after getting up before the shower but I usually only officially 'weigh in' every other week.

Just a random thought: to me 2,000 calories sure does sound like it should be enough for the average person on an average day. For me, it's great to have a calorie number or % as a benchmark. Len

Certainly don't give up, never, ever! For me there's good carbs and bad carbs and not really a strict atkins approach. But am sure that's not the purest approach. Hang tough.

Really enjoy reading these. They are totally confirmatory.

Monday's Can Surely Get Better LOYBC

Divided By Zero - love the way you embedded that image, brilliant.

I've always belived it's 90% diet and 10% exercise. And now it's even more clear that the harder your workout the more high energy food you want (and feel entitled) to consume. Just doesn't stack up. For me best exercises is moderate walking with a good podcast or buddy.

Love the way it's gone over 101, probably, now that's a reason in itself! 104: simply to feel better and spread goodness in the world

Knock it out of the park Lindsay!!

Never heard of it but have now...

As a new father I know the feeling - think it's b/c less focus on what I eat as time poor Will improve once I get a few hours of sleep I hope !

In the long run I think eating organic will no doubt help you in many ways but I would be suprised if it made a big difference to weight loss. The other issue I see is related to what 'organic' really means, my guess is 90% of the time it is just marketing so buyer beware I say.

Just battled the cookie jar and won!!! (for now). Unscrewed the lid, took a big sniff, and did it back up again. Decided it really wasn't worth it, feels good.

I did a 1/2 marathon back in '04 (unfortunately my running days are now red rover), I took off about 5 days to let my body recover before getting back on the road. My only advice would be to listen to your body, if you're not too sore then I think it's fine to start some light runs. Good luck and take some pictures!

A friend mentioned these today, I really must try them, they just look like Angel Hair Pasta but obviously are not the same. Lots of fiber and not much else... what could they taste like?

1. apples 2. 97% fat free ice cream (x5...) 3. salsa 4. chicken breast 5. fat free milk 6. sourdough bread 7. low sugar jam 8. dried fruit and nut trail mix (unsalted) 9. whole wheat pasta 10. marinara pasta sauce

I am no WW expert, but should that be points per day?
