Mern - I also have scheduled snacks - midmorning, midafternoon, & 8 pm. I should probably consider having a later one too - both my mother and maternal grandmother were diabetic. So far I’m okay, but I am trying to eat to keep blood sugar levels on an even keel.
velmasue2 - Welcome. Like you, I lost weight then gained in back in the last 3 years. For the first 35 years of my life, I was one of those annoying people who could eat whatever they want and not gain weight, so I didn’t have to pay that much attention to how I was eating. Now, at age 61, I’m hoping to really develop good habits this time.
Someone asked if my goal of 1 hr of movement a day was weekly or daily - daily! Rain here today, so no yard work. Exercise bike and instead.
I enjoy reading the daily menus - some good ideas there!

Hi! Just started this week 
I'm really going to try to log every bite I eat for the rest of this week. The first day was annoying, because I had so many custom foods to create. But once this first week is over, it will be easy because most of the foods I eat will be in there!
My goal for this and next week is not to overeat on days that I work out. I use that as an excuse to eat a second supper and dessert after the game/workout, which I shouldn't do anymore.
