Hi Everyone! I've been a member of this site for several months, but not very active in it and have just started to keep track of my food again, starting today. I have joined a competition in my home town called Biggest Winner. Works on the same premise as Biggest Loser and there's even a $5000 grand prize at the end. I have been doing that for the last 5.5 weeks. it's 8 weeks long. The exercise is Awesome and has given me so many ideas for when it's over. My biggest problem is self sabotage. I lost 8 lbs this last week and what have I done since - EAT! I wouldn't be surprised if by next Monday that I've gained most of it back..... UGH!
Any suggestions???

    Hi! Well, with this competition I'm participating in, we are working out 4 days/week, for an hour. I then try to run or walk on the weekend. I was obviously consuming far less calories than I was expending - for a change :-)
