Do What You Can Do :)

Members Were Sparked

There are things in life that we can change and things that we can't. Change those that can and don't let the others get you down. You can only do what you can do - no more and no less. Just make sure you do the best that you can. :)

MORE INFORMATION:
We can't change others we can only change ourselves. When people let us down we need to remember that they are the ones that did something wrong not us. :)

I love this and it is true. I have been here since December playing with calories numbers from 1200-1500 aday and unless i stay on 1200 calories aday i can't lose . Last month i adveraged 1350-1400 aday a gained 1.6. This is due to health issues and medication! So i am here and will stay here to help others and be happy with whatever weight i get . I get weighted once amonth now so i don't get stressed. Thank you for your input on this its very eye opening!

I know what I can do, and I try not to let others push me. I have to work at my own pace, and slowly, I am making progress.
Good luck! to all.

No Salt Added

For most veggies I buy frozen because I like how they taste better then canned, however when it comes to green beans to me frozen tastes funky. So, I recently switched myself and family to no salt added canned veggies. I did so by first doing half and half, one can of regular and one of no salt added. I continued this for a couple of weeks and now I only buy no salt added and no one in my family has even commented that they noticed a difference.

CANNING: A visual aid...

What has been helping me with losing weight is to be able to visualise how much I've lost (and need to go)... To do this I visualise it in terms of cans of coke (or any canned drink)...

Most are 330ml which equates to 330g (in the UK anyway), so it's 3 cans per kg - or if you're using lbs, it's 1lb = 1 and a third cans cans...

So when you 'only' lose just under 1lb in a week, it's quite a lot, when you actually pick up a can. 2lb is 2.5 cans, etc, etc.

Happy canning!
