I need to do this!.... I keep going over my calories for the day.. and it's not because I am hungry.. it's because I have a hard time controlling my sweet tooth! And to tell the truth, I keep telling myself it's ok because its a one time thing.... which turns into a once (or twice) a day thing! I am challenging myself to make a goal of 20 days straight without going over my food intake! Starting today I hope to stay within my goals and not go over.. This should definetly help with my weight loss stall. I have not gained any weight this month and have only lost around 1 pound but I am annoyed by my eating habits. I could've lost at least 5 pounds this month if I would've stayed on track :/

    This is a great idea! I need to join you in this. I have a mouth full of sweet teeth and they get the better of me. I found making "healthy" versions of goodies helps A LOT but when I have nothing of the sort prepared I end up making poor choices. I'll try to meet the challenge with you!

    Yes alternatives are perfect for the sweet tooth... I was doing great for a few months and had a good loss, and then I started to relax and indulge more often than I should

    I too have new goals from today! I have re-calculated my calorie intake and have my mind in the game!

    I lost 22lb originally but have slowly put around 5lb back on since xmas from greedy treats, birthdays and just because it's a bank holiday. I have decided that I don't like the look of the ticker sliding backwards so I have to do something about it.

    I'm going to try the zigzag/cycling approach of having my calories for 2 days then increasing by 300 cals on day three. Heard it's meant to help with fat loss. If I want a treat and it's within my goals then fine but if not then bye bye Dimebar!

    Good luck and feel free to add me if you want to keep tabs lol

    Those holidays and parties always throw me off track.. but usually for that day only.. and I end up the same weight as before ... it just takes longer for me to lose weight with all of those extra calories... I also encourage treats as long as I stay within my goals and don't spend all my calories on treats :)

    Well I used to be ok with logging food under my cals but then forget the bottle of wine or half a bar of yummy Cadburys Daim chocolate bar!!

    I think I enjoy the feeling of losing 22lb more than silly 'oh go on then' demons! Feel all chunky now, just wanna lose another dress size.

    Need to think " We've had our fun belly, now back to it..."
