    Drinking water before eating. Half of every meal be veggies. Strength 3x and cardio 5x a week. Hoping these things become a habit after 2 mths.
  • Keeping below my calorie budget with healthy calories. I also think it is time to start including some 'formal" exercise to my daily routine. My job is physical and I stay active but I don't think I am challenging my body enough. I think I will dust off the treadmill tomorrow:wink:
  • I plan to burn at least 500 exercise calories a day. I cannot start until 2. Week of oct due to surgery but I think I can do it with motivation. I can stay under 1200 calories until I can exercise. Good luck everyone!!!!

    I'm just starting back on my weight loss journey, but my goal is to be more accountable for what I put in my mouth. Logging everything will be a biggie. I'm the mom who is eating what their kids are leaving behind, or just standing and munching what they are while chatting. Got to break that habit for sure!

    I'm planning to record my intake diligently, stay within my calorie range and exercise 4-5 times a week. WE CAN DO IT!

    I am going to stop "falling off the wagon" every weekend. I do a decent job Mon-Fri but come Saturday I lose all motivation and effort. I decided to make a week day my single day off from exercise so I get in some sort of workout on both Saturday and Sunday.

    No specific meal plan, just aiming to stay below my calorie budget and take one good 2-3 hour hike every weekend. Had to sit out this weekend to babysit my cat who just got out of surgery but should be back on the trail next weekend.

    I plan on starting tomorrow morning. I will eat more vegetables and keep track of my calories. I am also planning on exercising daily and not letting weekends get in the way of my progress. One day at a time we can do this!!!! 15 pounds off by Thanksgiving.

    Just trying to say within my calorie limits. No exercise. I am getting shots in my knee, want to put of a total knee replacement as long as I can. I am starting tomorrow also.

    I am trying to stay in my calorie budget. I am running 3-4 days a week. Don't really have a specific meal plan, but do try to get the protein in. I find that it keeps me satisfied longer.
  • No specific meal plan as of yet, I went shopping already for two weeks worth of food. So basically just smaller portiations than usual and healthier options for snacks. . I too have the same problem keeping my hands off the little one's leftovers and not properly logging it in!

    I'd be fine but for snaking and grazing throughout the day! Less of that!

    Increase exercise... More protein...more water.

    I started by tracking everything I have eaten today. I walked 4 miles at a brisk pace. Day 1 has been concurred! I will take each day as it comes and forget yesterday and look forward to tomorrow. With any luck those will be the keys to my success. I have lost 100 lbs in the past and yo-yo with 10-20 pounds ... up and down. Looking forward to just getting it off,keeping it off and moving forward.

    started off the week eating "Clean". I know it is a lot of things to a lot of people, but to me it is nothing I can pronounce or overly processed. Making oatmeal (whole oats) with cinnamon and fruit and 2 egg whites with homemade salsa. Lunch, salad with a grilled chicken breast, tomatoes and my hubby's homemade roasted tomato vinaigrette. Dinner, fish with roasted broccoli. For dessert, I have almond milk smoothie with banana and pb. Got rid of the diet cokes all together and just drinking coffee with almond milk in the morning and water the rest of the day.
  • I am using the Vitality for Life Challenge plan - my supplements should arrive today or tomorrow. Meanwhile, it's 8 glasses of water per day, 3 meals, 2 snacks, a focused effort on protein and fiber. Fiber is tougher than protein, I have to do it with dinner (due to medication schedule) and for some reason I resist that. When I do the fiber, water and protein I lose more weight. So, I'll keep on trying :-)
  • I agree on just focusing on today!

    i really get the urge to eat sweets around 10:00 pm. I guess its just a BAD habit.
    just had 1Tbsp of chocolate mini morsels melted with 1 Tbsp of chopped walnuts. It cuts the craving, but i need new ideas.
    Jello is boring.
    help!
