I think my biggest challenge is that when I do not have either my body or brain in motion, I get bored and want to eat. I have tried to combat that with Gum. I have about 6 different flavors and try that before I reach for food. Doesn't always work, but it does at least 70% of the time...

That's a great idea! Thanks!

Sure, count me in too.

I help with the water issue I used to carry a water bottle with me that held 40oz. My goal was to finish it off each day.

Good Morning from Colorado! I have 2 big challenges that are right up there together. One is being really AWARE of the what, when and how much I'm eating. Two is motivation to go work out. My job is almost 40 miles from where I live (my gym is just 2 miles from my house) so that gives me about 45 minutes of interstate driving on the way home to talk myself OUT of going to the gym. One thing that helps me, tho, is that I take my gym clothes to work and change from my scrubs before I even leave the office. Since really starting to track my calories here, it has really made me pay attention to my eating habits. It takes awhile to get into new habits.... the key for me is to keep the momentum going. Once I stop, its so hard to get going again. Have a happy Sunday everyone! ~Naomi

Great way to stay motivated! I haven't started working out yet, but I will. I'm waiting two weeks to get the food changes down pat. Then I will kick my butt into gear. Thank you for sharing your challenges. I'm sure you're not alone in those!

I will have to get strong with myself and just do it! My excuses are wearing on even me! Thank you!

I'm almost 5'3 and I have at least 30lbs to lose- first goal and a bit more for 2nd goal. I'd like to support and be motivated as well.
I'm exercising 3x a week with cardio/martial arts and I walk at least 5x a week. Since Jan. 1,2012 , I've just lost 7 pounds. It's tough to stay on track but I'm trying. My biggest challenge is staying away from junk food and snacks.

Just ate Marie Calender's three cheese tortelleni for lunch, man was it good!!! Of course, could have ate more, but that's one of my challenges I am trying hard to overcome! Thank you for all of your support everyone!

One day at a time has become my motto.

Junk food is one of my loves too! Doritoes, choclate, salty goodies! I have to tell myself "moderation, moderation , moderation" but right now they are stricly OFF LIMITS for me until I get the food changes down. Glad to see you join in !

Tomorrow is 4 weeks into using mfp and I have also incorporated 3 - 20 min workouts at home into my week and I have lost 9 lbs. I am 58 years old, 30 lbs to lose. Such an easy way to log your daily intake. For some awesome chicken recipes go to : skinnytaste.com Great recipes of all kinds and most list the calories, carbs and nutritional values. Great site! Good luck!

Does anyone in this group smoke besides me? I know. I know. It's insane to eat healthy and smoke. I will quit again, but I'm not ready. I quit for ten years and then started again a couple of months ago. I think as I lose weight and start working out, I will have the power to quit again.

Does anyone else here smoke? Just curious.

Hope everyone has had a great day so far. Getting ready to eat my dinner. May be back later.
