Made it past my first pitfall !!!
I started last Sunday with pretty strict diet and kept a good amount of exercise. I did well for the first 5 days and then yesterday I fell off the wagon, bad! I ate fast food, chocolate, you name it. However, I hit the gym even harder and made up for my sins :) I know it wasn't the healthiest last 48 hours but I managed…

insatiable
I feel so out of control! I have been doing really well for a few months, and suddenly this week I can't control myself at all. I have been eating about one thousand extra calories each day- I feel insatiable. I just don't understand why I seem completely unable to exercise any self discipline when, up to this point,…

Whatever path you choose to become a healthier person needs to be one you can picture yourself doing now.... and a week from now.....a month from now..... how about in 20 years? The biggest key to maintaining a healthier lifestyle and/or weight change is to make one small change at a time. Once you have made that change…

What am I doing wrong?
I have been at this for two months now, and had lost 2 pounds. I weighed this morning and I am back to where I started. I have gone from no water a day to a minimum of 5 a day. Eleminated soda and sugars. Increased whole wheats, veggies, and fruits. Exercising every day. So about a week and a half ago, when things hadn't…

5 lbs lost...
I love this site. I may not be able to keep track of my calories in complete detail on here, but it allows me to see the progress I've made. I'm looking for other people who are trying to lose more than 50 lbs or who have lost that much to give support. I've only been counting my calories for a week now, but I've already…

Well, I just hope I can get back on track when I get home Monday...

A little reminder
I've been in a little bit of a funk lately. I cannot get past this 15 pound mark. I go back and forth between 188 and 185 like crazy. But with that being said, my body is changing. I can feel that I've lost inches in places. I can even look at myself in the mirror and see a difference. And my clothes fit differently. I…
