    drinking the water plus making sure we are either meeting/staying within our daily intakes of calories, carbs, fat, etc.?

    Is anyone else having trouble with this, btw? the site tells me to take in about 2000 calories a day, and i figured that would mean cutting way back for me. but actually, i haven't changed much, and i have only had about 1000 calories today!

    I have trouble meeting my calories some days and others I go over. That sounds like a good challenge. The site tells me I have 1,900 calories per day and that too me seems like a lot.

    thats great... make sure ur atleast eating 1200 calories... but 2000 does seem like a lot...
    no i dotn have any problems staying in my calories as long as i eat stuff that fills me up... lately ive been eating stuff that is good in calories that doesnt fill me...

    Well I went in and played with the settings, and changed it to two pounds a week instead of one and that changed my calories from 2200/day to 1700/day! so i'm going to try it this way! otherwise, i feel like i will just be eating all the time like i do anyway! lol.

    i am a sweets lover too! almost anything chocolate and also sweet tea! those are my biggest struggles (foodwise).

    i had a chocolate craving tonight. i made some sugar free fat free jello instant pudding mix, measured out the serving size, and even had a bit of whipped cream all for only 100 calories! it was very satisfying!

    i have the same problem! if i eat something i have to have something sweet or i dont feel right... that jello sounds sooo good... but ive eaten all my calories today... i need to eat alittle later cause when i eat at 5 i get hungry around this time... :[

    That sugar free fat free jello pudding sounds really good. I will have to try that when I get a chocolate craving.

    Oh that does sound wonderful! I would go to the store now and make it for tomorrow if I had one near me. The nearest store for me is 30 miles away. :smile:

    I feel proud of myself. I busted out a workout disc i bought at target forever ago (and never used), and did it! I'm sweaty, tired, and probably stinky, but it's worth it! i hope i can keep up this motivation i have right now!

    and the nearest store is 30 miles away??? wow. i live in a small town but we at least have two little stores! but anything else we have to go at least 20-30 miles.

    Welcome insaneness!
