I started this yesterday in the 100 lbs to lose thread and it really worked well to keep me on track. I have BED/SED (binge eating disorder / stress eating disorder) and though I haven't weighed myself yet I know I did well & probably lost weight.

Daily Goals:

1. Try to eat under my calorie limit

2. Snack on pickles when hungry

3. No binging

    Good idea!

    Mine is to drink one bottle of water with each meal and each workout
    also
    Follow my fat and protein count - I've been under calories but over on those 2 things

    Excellent! And thank you, yes, the daily thing should help I think. I think we need to retrain our minds to have this become a habit, a long term forever habit, like brushing our teeth daily.

    watch out for those pickles. You should be tracking sodium content to stop retaining water....:wink: Pickles are rediculous. You're better off eating cucumbers and dip...

    my goals for this week
    1) get better..I'm in so much pain (gallbladder)
    2) get back to the gym.

    I'm about to get up and do my daily exercise. I'm working out with EA Sports Active 2 four days a week. I don't feel ready to get up yet...but it's part of my daily goals.

    Fab idea. I'm going grocery shopping tonight - need to stock up on some cucumbers since they are such a delish snack option. I was shocked at how much sodium was in 3 mini-dill pickles. I was eating them for the vinegar that was in them - here is an article I found on the benefits of vinegar. http://eatinghealthy.blogspot.com/2007/07/pickles-vinegar-diabetes.html

    My daily goal is to eat good tonight even though we're picking up dinner since we're going grocery shopping...time is always such an issue in my family :(

    I think it works in the way that you post your daily goal and just posting it helps keep you on track,so you check in daily here with your goals and you write them out and you try to make sure that you're on track with your goals daily. I know what you mean about food cravings, but I guess that's why I love to eat...pickles! I'm looking for a homemade pickles recipe.

    Ok so it's evening, how is everyone doing? So far I'm really good. I'm under the amt of cals I'm supposed to eat, which is good for my weight loss and I'm NOT starving. 3 more hours till midnight here when we head off to bed....so hopefully I'll be ok.

    You can do it...."just do it" as the saying goes. I actually have an awesome running commercial that is really inspiring to me:
