Clueless????

Then do it!...Learn more about what to eat by researching it. I started out with oxygen magazines and my curiosity grew and then my knowledge grew and now by trial and errror i know what works for me ..When you realize how many calories you should be eating to lose weight you won't waste it on beverages.. and you are going to hear it again water water water... if you actually do it and drink the amount you are suppose to it has soooo many benefits (google it!)

try switching to diet soda,do things in moderation so it doesnt overwhelm u

I am now drinking high PH water and it is making a difference. Soda/Pop falls in the has no nutritional value for me.

I totally am an emotional eater. I know what I need to do it just seems that sometimes I am doing it and sometimes I don't. I totally get how you are feeling. Just try to focus on every hour of the day. If you slip up it was just a bad moment and it doesn't have to be a bad day. Yes water is important. They say you should drink something like half your body weight in water! OMG for me that is over a gallon a day. I am trying but it is so hard. Maybe try baby steps. Drink a Dt Dew (yummy btw) and then maybe tell yourself you won't drink another one until you drink a big glass of water. IDK, that works for me sometimes. Just an idea. Stay strong and focused...............(my downfall most of the time) and you will get there. I have recently found that by uping my protein I am not craving as much sweets and I used to. I don't know why but I'm not. Lets hope it stays that way. Good luck. You got this girl!

Count your calories. Log your calories. Eat enough to reach your daily goal. Exercise. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Get a Heart Rate Monitor and a food scale. Find the Cardio exercise that you really like to do. Liquid Calories are sneaky and can wreck your calorie counting day. and I totally agree with "Don't sweat the small stuff" .... and it is ALL small stuff. If you cheat you cheat yourself.

I started about a month ago and am struggling! I am good during the week but take the weekends off. I averaged all the weightsand ttook the average and still should have made more.progress About the water.... I'm not the biggest water drinker but I do know it is very important to stay away from soda. I have always been a little bit of a juice drinker. What worked for me.... I add a little grapefruit juice to my water. Its strong enough to make the whole.glass taste like it!

i put lemon slices in my water causei hate the taste you should try it

I am...wait, what?

Oh....1 Calorie in equates to 1 Calorie.

It's not rocket science. Choose. Act. Succeed.

Yes diet Mt Dew is bad. Artificial sweetners are poison.

Care to substantiate the hyperbole?

Count your calories. Log your calories. Eat enough to reach your daily goal. Exercise. Don't sweat the small stuff.

This.

I would also recommend you starting slow. Start with 1 lb per week loss, and try to work in healthy whole foods as much as you can, but don't let yourself quit if you don't want to or can't eat a lot of fruit or veggies and such early on. Focus on hitting your calorie goal first, then start making better choices about food later.

Make sure you're also not undereating as well. One of the reasons people fail at this is being too ambitious with their calorie restriction early on instead of easing into it and being patient. Think of this as a way to reteach yourself how to eat and move so you can maintain for life.

artificial sweetners can be hard on your liver, and is also high in caffiene, the caffiene and carbonation can be dehydrating. ....good luck starting out, dont sweat the little slips and things will fall in place, agree to start logging and soo you will see you drink less soda. once i started logging and watching what i eat i went from drinking loads of soda a day to maybe 1-2 a week. still a work in progress, but small changes have a bigger impact over time, focus on lifestyle changes, not a diet.

There is quite a bit of sodium in diet drinks ~ check the label!!! Hard on your internal organs & who wants to retain fluids!!

Do you have a digital food scale?
