Today is also my DD6's birthday and her friends are about to arrive so I am one busy momma this morning!! I'll be back later to answer the question and make chit chat
But are people suppose to search each item, do the maths, figure out the calories, grams of saturated fat, sugar and protein and than plug it in to the calculator? It takes me about 30 seconds on MFP. It's a lot more effort to do it.
Or is there different way?
Happy Birthday Disneyland!!!!

Celebrations can be hard when you're trying to live healthy.
So when it's time for you to celebrate do you stick to your healthy lifestyle or do you give yourself a free pass?
Bonus: What would be your perfect birthday?

This depends on my mood each year. I still need my birthday dinner out this year. My mom had a card and some cash for me, my mother in law mailed me a card early since she was having heart valve replacement the day before. They also went with cash. I got the live action Beauty and the Beast, a short jammies set, a pair of capris, and a couple of tops though I also had to use some of my own money. My brother and sister both sent me a text, and one sister in law sent wishes via facebook. We went to a friend's twins high school graduation that day. Since my birthday falls during memorial day weekend a lot and did again this year the plan was to go out at a later time. We went out the weekend before to celebrate our Celebration of Love Anniversary ( Due to a brother in law being deployed we moved up our actual wedding so he could be there and were only able to have a church ceremony and a small reception both that were immediate family only so we held a larger ceremony and reception to include extended family and our friends on our originally chosen date. Since we were already married we called it a Celebration of Love. You would think with 2 dates my husband would remember at least on of them but he usually forgets) the week before and my mom watched the girls.

I have a love hate relationship with keeping track of my stats. I'll count calories for a while and then get frustrated I'm not losing and then I'll stop. Sometime I feel like the numbers just don't make sense and I need to let it go for a while.What about your statistics, do you keep track of your calories, weight etc? Do you find it helpful or stressful?
I did follow the announcements and I think I am most excited for the Star Wars hotel. I can only imagine how long it is going to take to get reservations once it opensHave you heard about the changes coming to WDW announced at D23? What are you most looking forward to?
I am afraid the app is not at all available in Ireland and I suspect the website is much different too. It's not at all convenient. Oh, I am very happy it works for you! I feel it made me think twice about what choices I make. It definitely reinforces - you either eat a lot of veggies or fruit, or you eat very little if you want to stay slim/healthy weight
I'm at 60% with 3 lbs lost out of 5!Here are the results for the week:
@Oneanne 74%
@4Mickeys 31.5%
@sweetpeama 62.25%
@MommaoffherRocker 0%
If you would like your progressed posted please let me know, I'm sorry if I missed anyone
Hello everyone!! I missed you all! I am back from Japan and Shanghai and had an amazing time!! There will be a trip report if anyone is interested, but it will be a couple of days until that starts.
However, the healthy lifestyle restarts today!! I stepped on the scale, but am not sure how accurate it is yet as I felt horribly bloated from the long flight yesterday (11 hours, flew over Siberia, really interesting to see the vast expanse of nothing but tundra!). But today the scale showed a gain of 0.5 kg. Which would be amazing and the first vacation that I managed to get through without gaining substantially. However, I can't claim that it would be because I ate so little. Well, I think I did ok with the eating because it was baking hot and that diminished my appetite, but we also moved like crazy. We walked over 300.000 steps in the course of 17 days, that is an average of nearly 18.000 steps every day. I brought my running gear, but just never had any energy to go for a run on top of all that walking!

Ok, sorry I keep missing days... we have had a plumber dig in the wrong spot and cut our internet/cable/phone...line as well as nick the power line so I have been without internet and all yesterday.
Birthday- My perfect day would be Disney cruise with a stop at castaway cay that day, a private cabana, massage on the beach, dinner on the ship at palo, a fantastic cake, a new disney cruise dooney and being at my goal weight!
Ooops! Cocktail night out with girls tonight! I ate little lither meals and supper healthy but will enjoy one or two

This is very smart, I check everyday and let me tell you those days where I'm up a pound or two are rough.I have decided to be very strict with myself about only stepping on a scale once per week. Body weight naturally fluctuates daily so I feel like if I checked more often then I would get obsessed with the minutia of it all.
That's so funny, DS10 was listening to the announcements with me and he says I am sad they are taking out the great movie ride... well not the alien but the rest of it. LOL he hated that alien.I also have sentimental feeling towards Great Movie Ride... I rode it the first time with my Nephew Josh and I swear the Alien popped right out of the ceiling and it scared the bajeebers out of him (and me) .
I totally agree, WS definitely needs more to do.I just get bord in WS.
It does sound like fun, I am curious to see how it changes the pier area.Not WDW - but the expansion of Pixar at DL sounds fun.
