    Try to log in some extra exercise...Burning some extra calories will help you feel better, plus you've got to eat something for supper!!

    Earn some calories back for a small salad or something low cal. Don't go hungry! That just sets you up for a huge fall...

    Thats tough, when you over eat for lunch. Running is a great way to burn those calories!!!
  • running and walking around for about an hour will be good to burn some calories it just depends on how many you want to burn and how many calories you consumed at lunch. Good luck

    I've done that sis. I went out and walked just to earn some extra calories to eat later, LOL!! Don't fret, you can eat tons of salad and even go over a bit without ruining your program, habits. Really, the calories need to be stuck to imo but I am not perfect and have not been perfectly on target and I am still losing. I mean I don't purposely cheat, but several folks say if you are hungry eat something. It is what we eat and how much. Please don't worry or try not to. You are doing great!!!!!!! Youre here, that is the best thing you ever did if you ask me, join us all here:) hugs, denise in Sams Valley Oregon:) PS I noticed if I don't put it all on my plate, if I have a big meal?? And I just serve myself half? Then I am actually more aware of being full then if I saw it all there still to eat. I split big lunches in half and eat the rest later:) There's all kinds of tricks we can do to help us:) Like I said, your are here, and that in my book, makes you a winner:)

    absolutely!! I earn around 300 calories just from walking! Do you walk as your main exercise chrissy?? I so love it and am blessed with a loop of country road with enough houses I am safe, as a person can be these days:) and there is 2 miles of it uphill so that is something I just recently had to realize so I could figure it in as well:)

    Hi my name is denise, and I am a bigmacaholic, I sooooooooooo relate, but, the more I eat from the 5 food groups I crave junk food less and less:) I bet there are some folks that can tell you about cravings as well here. Water is amazing now that I've formed the habit of drinking it when I get hungry. And I eat 5 meals a day, 2 being snacks but they are substantial because of all the calories I need to eat. I go for most of the calories early, like breakfast, lunch and then a good snack about 2 ish. Then dinner is the least of the calories if possible, but still, all nutrients I shoot for. If I am coming up short on my calcium, I can pop a one-a-day vitamin which is actually in our food database.

    So glad you are here!!!!!!!!!! denise:drinker:

    I am very good about drinking my water I drink that all day everyday and between 6-8 bottled waters because if its on my desk I will drink it. The good thing is that at my new job I have a very small fridge and my partner and I are both trying to lose weight so that helps alot we only keep water, fruit and veggies in the fridge.

    I am so glad to be here as well. Meghan:bigsmile:
