Late Night Eating
Hi guys - I have a simple question. I've heard two different opinions on this and I do want to do the best thing. I've read/heard that you shouldn't eat after 7PM, but I've also read/heard that it's 9PM. Which is correct? Or is it different depending on what time you go to sleep? To help...I normally am in bed and ASLEEP…

One day, two conferences, difficult eating opportunities
So tomorrow I have a breakfast meeting starting at 9 with breakfast provided. It's a half day but with no finish time specified.

Bucket of Chicken Fantasy
Hi all Thought I'd share my current craving. When at my biggest or most unhappy I would often buy a 10 piece bucket of fried chicken and eat it all over the course of an evening. For some reason, and I don't know why, I have recently not only been tempted to buy a bucket of chicken, but I also have a recurring dream about…

Feeling frustrated
So I weighed myself, and in the past 3 weeks I have lost 5 lbs. I was pretty excited about that, then my fiance weighed himself and he's lost 4 lbs. It's frustrating because I go to the gym 5-6 times a week, he goes maybe 1-2, I eat as healthy as healthy can be, while he doesn't eat junk, he doesn't eat quite as healthy as…

Motivation of the Day
In life you have to have the drive to stay ahead and claim what is in store for you, don't get up WAITING to see what the day has in store for you. It's like praise! Give praise in advance for what hasn't been received yet because of faith you know it's on the way. Create and improve possibilities and watch as the…

Something clicked
I don't know what's happened with me. Sure, there have been many times in my life where I've been motivated to lose weight, and I thought, "This is it.. this is the time that I push through it and reach my goals," and then the same thing would happen.. I would lose momentum, and eventually stop. Or, I would reach a weight…

Just weighed in. After going from 150 to 145 the 1st week, I did not change during week 2. The good news is that the scale didn't go up either. And I'm eating better and exercising. I hope that after this week I see a another change on the scale!
