Oh dear. I knew I had a little bit of an interest in growing things and I do get very excited planting seeds and waiting for them to sprout, but after reading this particular post, I am afraid it is more serous than I originally thought.........I guess I don't do too much half way. :) I have just updated my seed list from 2009 and have yet to add the seeds I have coming in this year. I do keep the lists on the computer along with the year purchased and where I got them from but that is as far as it goes. I do have lists of every plant I purchase too and my seed lists are organized in Vegies and Flowers/Ornamental. I am very manual too, Peggy. I like to take my list and my binders/notebooks everywhere.....to bed, to my favorite chair, to my neighbours ect. ect. My husband has learned to just expect me to be attached to a few seed catalogues and my friends know me as the Garden Lady. This year I did something different that I am so far enjoying. Every year I purchase a daily minder and my daughter often buys one for me too. I have been giving them away the past few years but decided to keep the extra one I got for Christmas 2011 and make it a garden journal. It is so easy! Some days I just write the weather in it and some of the changes I notice in the yard or that I updated my seeds or ordered some plants. So far it has worked great and then I can just save the books for reference. I might get the 9 x 11 whole page one next year though. :) BTW, I updated my seeds on January 2nd and 3rd but have to re enter the list since I switched programs.:) I think it amounts to an all day job. :/ Ginny Garden

My DH has been using MyFitnessPal since the end of May. He and a bunch of friends from work are in their own Biggest Loser competition from May to early Dec. So far he has lost over 30 lbs and feels great. He looks great too! Things he likes: -Tracks calories on a daily and weekly basis, so if you have a big splurge one day, you can still be good for the week. -Lots of exercise options -Scanning food using the barcode -Lots of chain restaurant food is in the app, and also the meals from Dream Dinners, a meal prep kitchen we use regularly -saves regularly eaten foods to make logging them easier -very data driven and visual with charts to mark progress (he's an engineer, LOL!) -he has been on a very consistent pace of weight loss -it has taught him a great deal about portion control -you can get emails with new records and milestones for motivation -can link to runkeeper to track runs/walks more easily Downsides/caveats -you really have to commit to logging all the food and exercise you do to get the full benefit -homemade foods or foods at non-chain restaurants are the biggest challenge as they can vary widely in calories Good luck to you!

Hi Sidnee, I have been pretty faithful for the last few months at logging my meals, trying to stay within my calorie allotment. I also wear my fitbit every day and try to get more than 7500 steps. Now that spring is here, I should be able to walk at lunchtime and also partake of a fitness bootcamp twice a week at my church. I try to ride my stationary bike when I can at night. (not very consistent with that) I also work with a personal trainer every Saturday. That, along with my food diary keeps me pretty on track. I have lost 14 pounds since January. I think I will be happy with 10 more pounds as long as I keep getting stronger. I have a bulging disc in my back which has been my main source of inspiration to get fit and lose weight. thanks for asking!

Oh, probably lots of people wouldn't. We are almost neighbors now, less than two blocks. I will check it out when it comes up but it sounds out of my price range.
