    I joined this group sunday the 15th. Last time I weighed myself, I was 166.2lbs. I want to be 162lbs after this. I'm just starting this journey, so I might lose a bit more.

    My goal wt. for July 31 is to be 230lbs. If I stick to my plan of low cab, high protein, lots of water, and no eating late, I will reach this mini goal wt. I have done it before, I can do it again. That's the pledge to myself. Starting right NOW........

    when you are dying to eat something drink a bunch of water or eat something lite like an apple or a salad, or even some egg whites. or occupy yourself by doing something different (clean the house or go for a walk!) if your like me food is on your mind the most when your bored! i find whenever im dying for some sweets i go do the dishes and by the end of it the craving is almost completely gone

    Starting weight: 175
    Goal weight: 169

    Friday the 20th I am supposed to be weighing in at 172. That will put me at 60 lbs total lost!!!! Then I'm pushing for another 3 lbs the following Friday July 27th. I getting ready to move soon from Birmingham Alabama to Louisville Kentucky and when I do I will be losing my gym, my trainer, and my cushy salary that has allowed me to pay for training and clean groceries. Losing my trainer is like losing my brother. I'm real nervous.. so we are pushing pushing pushing right now trying to get as much fat off as possible b4 the move happens so I have only a small loss left on my own and maintenance. Plus once I do move i'm gonna be crashing in my parents basement for a few weeks... which means an abundance of processed foods, lots of eating out probably, and no gym membership. It's going to be a struggle.

    Hey Sarah,

    I prep everything. I don't have any sugar or white flour in my house..what-so-ever. Today I prepped dinner's for the entire week. Monday- Turkey burger casserole w/tomatoes, zucchini, squash, carrots, green beans
    Tuesday- pork chops, cabbage, salad
    Wednesday- steak and fajita veggies
    Thursday- baked chicken and asparagus
    Friday- Tilapia, brocolli, cauliflower
    Saturday- left overs

    I went ahead and cooked the entire package of steak, pork, chicken and all the bags of frozen veggies then separated then into ziplocks into correct portions and put them in the freezer. I now have dinners for the next 3 weeks if I want them.

    Lunches I do turkey bacon, or deli meats or chicken breasts wrapped in romaine leaves or on a salad.. with veggies, vinegar, olive oil, and avocado. It's a perfect mix of protein, fats, and carbs for fat burning weight loss. :)

    Breakfast I usually do GNC lean 25 shakes with a piece of fruit. I'm not afraid to snack.. almonds, peanut butter, fruits.. Don't stress over carbs when it comes to fruits and veggies... Just stay clear of breads and pastas, and grains :)

    I eat all day long and I eat a lot.. just nutrition packed veggies, lean proteins, and fruits.. and I almost always stay under 1300 calories.

    You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will cut all rice, and sugar starting today. Let U all know how is working 4 me 2morrow...

    Hey everyone! I'm Molly, I'm 5'3", and I'm 20!

    My starting weight is 141.4, and my goal for the end of July is to be at 139. Obviously, it would be fantastic if I lost more than that (I'm only 2.4 lbs away at the moment), which would give me a headstart for my end of August goal of 132!

    I'm just doing a 1200 calorie diet at the moment, trying to cut down on my sugar intake!

    Hi Sarah!

    I work at a Thai restaurant, and get really bad cravings while there, but what has worked for me is drinking 8 oz hot/warm water with lemon juice. The lemon is an appetite suppressant. I also prepare something, like a protein shake or a Tupperware of sliced apples and carrots, and won't let myself eat anything else until I've finished that and waited 20 minutes. It gets really really hard sometimes, but just remember that the cravings will pass!

    Hope that helps!

    Hi I'm Fatimah and I'm new to mfp. I have already cut out junk food from my diet 5 days ago so I would love to join this challenge. I am 184.4 pounds and I normally follow my mfp calorie range slightly going over occasssionally. I'm working on that and maybe this group will help. Good luck to everyone.

    any one can add me as a friend im doing this 2 week to. before i started working out i weighed 220 know im 200.8.
  • Thanks for the advice @ silverkitten1, mollydt, and hezzietiger1.

    Mollydt - I am going to try the hot water with lemon to beat craving. I have never tried that and since this is two weeks of no cheating, I need all the help I can get. I have heard that is good for you too.

    Hezzietiger1 - thanks for advice about different meals and planning. I am now getting ready to prepare some chicken for the week. Also, thanks for sharing about eliminating the white flour and sugar. I know it is what I need to do.

    Silverkitten1 - will try to use the distractions when the cravings get harder to deal with.

    I sent the earlier message after I had three chocolate chip cookies with lunch. Over the years, I really lost control with the food. I am excited about the next two weeks and hope to reach my goal of losing seven pounds.

    I noticed some of you on here have lost a lot of weight. I want to lose over 60 pounds so it is so good to see. It makes me feel like it possible and obtainable.

    No cheating, two weeks, we can do this !
