    yes, just joined and this my first post......have let things get way out of control with my weight over the past six years as am stuck at a desk all day and eat a load of pre-pavked rubbish. My mini-goal is to stop eating processed cheese sandwiches and try and find a healthy alternative.

    welcome to the best website that changed lots of lives (mine among them :) )
    I've been through that, i too am always stuck to a desk from 5 pm to 10 pm.....so lunch and dinner were disasters :D
    but now i got myself organized, i precook my lunch the day before, and get my whole meals written in here, just to get grip of everything....
    and i do recommend you get in to nutrition section too ,people here are amazing and have lots of interesting alternatives for unhealthy food
    remember it's 1 week ,and when it finishes we'll think of the second week
    it takes 21 days to create a habit, and we begin with 7 ...so let's do this ;)

    I have recently started not eating after 8. I am in to continue working on this and letting everyone know how it goes. The more people that know about my dieting challenges just makes me all the more motivated to go through with it!

    I want in I want to exercise everyday I have been lazy and need a some motivation. So today is Thursday already when do we stop and check back? Monday?
    I've been told that the best time to workout is day time or just after i wake up, and I've been struggling to workout on day time...but as i talk to those amazing people...they just workout any time a day, as long as they workout, eat well and get enough sleep ,it doesn't really matter when to workout
    so that's what i did and it helped me a lot, sometimes i workout before i sleep, sometimes just after i wake up...it doesn't matter...as long as you're doing it right :)
    so try to stick your workout in your schedule ,just whenever you feel free :)
    i decide before i sleep when i'm going to workout tomorrow, so that i get organized and have no excuses
    i'm on turbo fire workout, it's just amazing, you can download it from the internet :)
    so for 1 week be determined to workout for 6 days (1 rest day ) and we'll see how it goes
    and tell us how was it on next Thursday :)

    oh i do eat 180 gm of carbs a day
    my problem is midnight carbs other than my 180 gm ...that's the problem...it really is unhealthy and slowing my weight loss...so got to take action now and stick to my 1500 calories a day :D
    congratulations on your 32 lbs loss :flowerforyou:

    Unfortunately, I am not able to continue with this particular goal because of a major medical issue that I have to deal with. Sorry guys and gals.

    One week on.... success ....... have given up buying packet of 2 white bread processed-cheese sandwiches at work every day !

    Now make up at home, and take in one just sandwich of wholemeal bread (instead of spongey white bread) , with tomato puree not margerine, and half-fat Edam instead of the processed rubbery "cheese" !!

    It much more filling (so eat less generally) and tasty, less calories, and takes just a few minutes to make.

    My next mini-goal is to give up packets of crisps - of which we have an infinite variety of flavours, textures and shapes here in the UK. Our vending machine at work is full of them and must eat two packets a day. They really are addictive but I know they are bad and unhealthy and are at least 200 calories a bag I reckon.

    All the best to everyone else.

    Mine will be no getting up in the middle of the day (my night since I am on graves) and eating unless my sugar is dropping because of my little one I am carrying.

    So, I didn’t do all that bad on this challenge. I made sure to stay away from the TV as much as possible (weekends included). And guess what…. I barely did any night time snacking (my favorite is sitting in front of the TV and eat dry, sugary cereals…Ahhhh). The only time I found myself sitting and eating was Sunday night while I was watching Dexter. However, I made sure I didn’t eat  Gonna try to keep this up longer, it will have nothing but positive side effects on me.
    Hope everyone else did well !!!

    I am soooooooooo in!!! The last month I have struggle with eating, and when I do eat I am junking (grabbing quick on the go). My goal for the next week is to get back to cooking and preparing ahead of time instead of grabbing the quick on the go easy stuff!

    My first post too. This is my first-time dieting and have to lose 25 lbs! My goal is to actually stick with this site for one week and track my food and exercise. I've been wanting to lose weight for the past two years but haven't been able to stick with anything. I'm hoping this site will help me out!!!
