Switcheroo!

I made the decision on Sunday to switch which weight loss program I am doing.

I had little success with LoseIt. SO I made the decision to look into what else was out there. I am not discrediting LoseIt, as it has helped many people, my Mom and Dad for starters, but I wanted to change things up a bit.

So I started googling. I have tried MyFitnessPal in the past and didn't really care for the program. What I found that seemed to click with me a bit better is SparkPeople.com..

They appeared to fit in better with what I wanted to do. Instead of saying "You have _____ calories for the day". They said "You need a minimum of ____ calories and a maximum of _____ calories to be successful." It has ranges like that not just for calories, but for fat grams, carbohydrates, water intake, and protein.

They also gave me a weekly goal of burning 740 calories, this forces me to get some sort of exercise during my week. 180 minutes, and 740 calories. I'm half way there, between walking around the grocery store on Sunday and cleaning yesterday. (I weighed myself and have lost a pound since Sunday, could just be a coincidence.)

I will not be weighing in this week as it is my "bloat" time. Since I tend to gain 5 pounds around then, I am choosing to skip this week. I will still post on Saturday, but just not a weight.

What programs do you use? Specific exercise? Specific diet? etc.
