February 16, 201016 yr Hey, what do you know. I decided to be productive on this forum. There's this really cool site called MyPlate, which seems simple at first, but it seriously works. Although (shamefully) I don't use it anymore, when I did, I lost 10 pounds in very few weeks, without changing my exercise habits at all. You make an account, and every time you eat something, you just type it in on the site. It counts calories, carbs, and all that nutrition information for you. You set your weight loss goal per week, and your average activity level, and the it gives you a daily calorie goal. Every day, you just log on, and just type in the name of the food, drink, or exercise you just ate/drank/did. It has a huge database that can track everything from the large Powerade you just ordered at McDonalds to the microwavable cheese pretzels you have in your freezer. The concept probably seems simple and pointless to you, doesn't it? Well, being the computer users we mostly all are on here, we tend to snack a lot. I know I do (when I slack off using MyPlate). Tootsie rolls, hmm, I'll have a few. A little while later, maybe a cup of Easy Mac. The key to this simple program is that it makes you think. Why eat that Little Debbie when you only have 400 calories left today, which you need for dinner? So, if you're looking to loose some chubbiness, check this out. It helped me, and I hope by posting I can help out some TIF'ers too.
February 16, 201016 yr So it's just an online Calorie counter? Could be useful for some people I guess. Just to nitpick, you might want to change your spelling of "lose".
February 16, 201016 yr I'm not really trying to lose weight but I might give this a go just for fun. Though today was a terrible day to start out as I had pizza, oranges, raspberry lemonade and chocolate to eat today.. my sugar percentage is... up there. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
February 16, 201016 yr Oh, what a nice website. This will be pretty useful to me. Thanks a lot !! Gonna try it out for a few days or so and see how it goes. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢
February 16, 201016 yr My sugar was at something like 350% yesterday. Probably not a good thing.

[bleep] the law, they can eat my dick that's word to Pimp
February 17, 201016 yr This site is extremely useful, especially since most people (including me) don't like adding the calories/protein/fat/carbs themselves
