    I would like to join this group - started watching my eating yesterday...but I am new at this... posting on message boards. Since I joined in August, I have gained 7 pounds instead of losing, so I like the "rules" you have set. I need to lose 18 pounds to get to my goal weight. Any help for motivation would be appreciated!

    I'm in too. I hope I'm able to navigate on these message boards - my first time! I started back today...I've been feeling like crap. I've decided to "eat clean"...no carbs or junk food and I'll only be drinking water (and milk once in awhile). I need to bend over and not feel chubby! LOL and I just want to feel good :-)

    Yes, not eating sugar will be hard for me too :-/ I'd like to know if I should be doing something else too.

    Hi Nancy
    basically you have to check in here EVERYDAY to say how well or not your doing. the rules are right at the top if you need any help. Pick a day to weigh yourself, lets know your starting weight and every 7 days post your new weight or inches, whichever suits you. i'm doing 3 days of cardio and 3 days of strength training but you do what you can and follow the rules as it works for your lifestyle. Try and eat CLEAN foods. so nothing processed or with sugar. so no sugary drinks or snacks. have one to two portions of fruit a day and fill up on veggies and good healthy carbs!
    hope i've answered your questions.
    send me a message or write on here if you need more help and will answer soon as i can!

    hiya!!! Not sure what you mean about doing something else. I would have some clean carbs though as it helps the transition from sugar to no sugar. good carbs like sweet potatoes, plantain etc. (no white potatoes.... those are lethal) and good fats like coconut oil, nuts etc will help make the sugar cravings easier to handle. cutting out all carbs completely might be a bit too hardcore and unsustainable.
    feel free to send me messages if you're unclear about the rules.
    for exercise aim to do 4-6days a week. at least 2 days of weight training!
    good luck you guys!!
    and thanks for joining in!!!

    Ok, so I have failed the first couple days, but yesterday and today I am back on track. Did my c25k week 2 program yesterday, and tonight plan on weight lifting and maybe 30 minutes light cardio on my bike. Tomorrow is weigh in. The weekends are the hardest for me to not give in to temptation.
