&& What are they for?
IE: No food after 7, and exercise 3 times a week
or no fast food
or exercise during every commercial
I'm pretty sure I'm going to start a no eating in the car rule.
Do you have any "rules"
and have they been easy to stick by?

Woah, didn't even thing about giving up drinks I'm a pepsi freak
good plan, good plan0 -
Don't miss more than one day of exercise a week; nothing but water, vitamin water, and coffee to drink; and if I go way over my calories one day, I try to balance it the next by exercising a ton and eating a little under.0

What is vitamin water?
and just plain coffee?0 -
Oh I have LOTS of those rules.. lol.
1- Always eat the veggies first at dinner time. Helps me to feel full sooner and I don't eat the higher cal/carb stuff as much.
2- Workout DVDs (a different one every month currently) 6 days a week. On the 7th day, I walk.. or heavy cleaning.. or something!
3- Always have water with me while I drive. I drink a LOT more while driving. Thankfully my job means lots of driving (US Postal Svc)
4- Have a little taste/bite of something that I really want, only if I can put it down after. A taste/bite, and throw it out or give it to hubby!0 -

For me it's so not about rules. It's about choices.0

I don't have any rules, I think that's unhealthy.0 -
Never go to bed unless I have the next day's menu all planned out. I'm a little OCD. I like planning. Usually I have 6-8 days planned ahead down to every calorie. Even if I end up changing things later, I need to have it all planned out ahead of time.0

i think thats a good habit to have. when i first started out i never made sure i was stockedup on the healthy foods so when i ran out i had to resort to eating unhealthy things sometimes... but now i make sure the day before that i have everything i need for the next day0 -

That's a really great idea!0 -
NO BINGING0

1) I have one "free day" a week. Usually the day I go grocery shopping since that's when I go to town.
2) Plan the next day out ahead (at least main meals), sometimes I log snacks ahead, sometimes I don't but I'm aware of what I have left over after main meals.
3) Sweet tooth must be filled once per day...lol...that's my favorite! But, I do keep it within my goals.0 -
I have a basic plan laid out by my gastric bypass docs that I try to exceed:
Min 80oz of water or decaf tea a day (no other fluids except -if I hit the 80oz- I'm allowed one cup of regular tea)
Min of 1 hr exercise a day
Keep calories as low as possible
Min 50g protein a day
2 x Celebrate Multi-Complete vitamins
3 x Celebrate Calcium Plus 500
1 x B-12 sublingual once a week
Eating broken up to 2-3 meals a day
For the first time in 9 months I ate something off my diet: about 9 cups of air-popped, no-butter popcorn. I'm not going to sweat it, though. Tomorrow ill be back on track.0 -
My only rules are:
Eat Slowly - I tend to eat less when I do.
Stop eating when full - I have a habit of cleaning my plate ... Even if it makes me sick to eat it all.0 -
No elevators and eat an apple every day0
-
1. Try to eat as close to the natural source as much as possible.
2. Half a plate of veggies at lunch and dinner, two pieces of fruit somewhere in the day.
3. At minimum 1g of protein per lb of lean body mass. I do goal + some more.
Everything else with regards to cals/macros is gravy. Really. Usually find these three rules keep my cals and macros where they're supposed to be.
4. Don't let one day of botched whatever (meals/exercise) snowball into two or more days.
5. If I screw up, self correct by the next meal or next exercise session.0
