Joined the Water and Walk Challenge that starts next week!

I'm so glad to have found a challenge that fits exactly the activities that I need to improve my performance in. My rheumatologist already prescribed that I walk at least 30 mins. a day and increase my water consumption. Somehow, just being told to do something doesn't always work for me. Make it a challenge? I'm there! (Why is that, I wonder?)

Looking forward to the start and getting some practice in now. :) Yaaay!

Changed my daily recommended calorie intake from 2200 to 1800 for two reasons. 1) Because this is the recommended calorie intake from other calculators (that don't seem to take into account activity levels like FatSecret does), and 2) more especially because I tend towards 1800 or less when I'm eating well and cut myself too much slack with the likes of cookies and stuff with 2200 that I probably won't with 1800. That may not make sense but for some reason I'll allow myself to go over 2200 by 100 or so calories on "special occasions". If I do this with 1800, I'll still be less than the 2200 -- and I may not do it at all! I'll change it back to 2200 if I do well with the Water and Walk challenge. ;)

Loving the Fat Secret website and my DroidX Calorie Counter app!

Since using this application and website, I've lost about 5.5 lbs in six weeks. Now, not all of this is due to this application. I'm seeing a dietician and learning more about how to eat for hypothroidism (HAIT - Hashimoto's Auto-Immune Thyroiditis). I'm upping the exercise as soon as I am able by time or distance.

Being able to log in what I eat on my phone (which goes everywhere I do, like, restaurants) or on the website, is helping me out immensely. Just knowing what I've consumed so far in a day helps me make decisions about what I'll eat next (make decisions about what I am going to eat? Whoever heard of such a thing? Unfortunately, until recently, not me.) Or, whether I'll eat anything next!

The forums are amazing! So much advice and so many kindred spirits!

Looking forward to participating more as time goes on.
