Just needing accountability!

Would love to have another fitness pal! you can add me if you like

Good luck

You are very welcome! This site is so awesome and welcoming, I love it. I just started back last week after being gone so long and it feels great. Made lots of new friends who are motivating as well. I don't think I could do it alone. I love making new pals and encouraging to be encouraged. We can do this. I have about 23 lbs to go but im here to stay until its gone

Welcome! Feel free to add me. I'm on here daily

Hopefully you'll be back in routine in no time

Hi Mystic! Congratulations on getting back on track! What are some of your goals that you would like to accomplish? I recently started back up myself. My goal is weight loss and for the first time I surprised myself in what I could accomplish with just really tracking what i was eating. I think tracking what you eat everyday (no matter how bad it was) is a great way to stay on track. To be honest I haven't really followed any type of "diet" just increased my veggies and watched what I ate and always try to stay within my daily caloric goal. My trainer said the best diet is the "everything in moderation" diet. I really can't agree anymore with that. Of course it is always great to eat "clean" but planning out when you would like to eat your vices whether it be chocolates, pizza, pastas, alcohol is what keeps me sane. For example, I know Saturdays and Sundays are always days I like to go out with my bf and eat, so I plan on keeping my meals before the high caloric meal I am having to avoid going overboard. If I go out to dinner on a Saturday night I keep my breakfast and lunch and snack between (200-300 calories per meal) because I already assume my dinner will come out to over 800 calories. I also make sure I have a good workout in before going out and also the following day. Same thing goes with going out on a Sunday for brunch, make sure the meals the rest of your day are small and clean and also make sure to do some cardio later in the day if you do decide to indulge.

Bottom line: increase your veggies, track your food, plan your cheat "meals" (meals not a whole day of junk) and try to move everyday! I hope this advice can help you too!

Awesome advice! :happy:
