[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 114009"] BBK - Check out that site I posted. It's completely free. You put in your current weight and your goal weight and a time-table. It won't let you lose too much too fast, so if you try to say I want to lose 50 pounds by April, it will tell you that's not safe and make you choose another date. It also has a daily menu planner. It has meals on there with recipes or you can click and substitute something else from the menu, or add your own items. It even has a place where you can get get the calories, etc for common frozen items, fast food items, fresh items. So, if you eat something that isn't on the planner and they don't have it listed you can go in and say I had 1/2 cup of 2% milk and it will tell you the calories and then log it with your daily planner. It also allows you to account for other things such as fat, cholesterol, sugar, etc. So, if you buy a bunch of broccoli and it's only on the planner for one day, you can remove something else from the menu the next day and substitute the broccoli. It's not strict at all and gives you lots of freedom of choices. Take a look around the site. It has tons and tons of information, motivation, recipes, simple exercises and stretches with demonstrations and it's so user friendly and easy to navigate. The people that started this site were with E-bay when it went public and made a lot of money. This is their way of giving back. I'm with you on your current problem. Part of is that about half the things most of the places want you to eat, I would never eat (I'm supposed to eat a lot of fish and I really hate fish..bleck) and the other part is that some of the ingredients are so expensive and you're only going to use them once in a blue moon. That's just not practical for me...someone who hates to cook and who lives on a very tight budget. Plus, with my current health situation I simply cannot spend an hour and a half on dinner most days. I want simple and I want something all of us will eat as I do not want to prepare more than one meal. [/QUOTE]
