What is everyone else doing today?

I'm in, I would like to be down 14 lbs.

Hi urdollface! I like Green & Black's dark chocolate 70% cocoa. It tastes great, but do watch your servings. If you can manage that, it is a nice little, good for you snack. I also like to eat popcorn in the evening because I can eat a lot of it! Sometimes it's about volume ;-)

I'm in! I'm about 60 days away from a vacation myself. Would love to lose 10 lbs before then

Count me in! I have a canoe trip in four weeks and need to be able to paddle 30+ miles during that week. So, anything to drop and few fat pounds and add some muscle.

I'm in! I had my baby 3 months ago and haven't had any luck losing the weight. Today is my second day on this site & I'm hoping to see results when I weigh myself next week. I'm moving back to my hometown in two months and would be so self conscious if all of my old friends saw me now
Current Weight: 195
50 Day Goal Weight: 175
Ending Goal Weight: 155

This will help me stay motivated

I have been exercising and watching my calorie intake, so far. My main problem right now is I eat really healthy all day long and then by/just after dinner I want chocolate and junk food. Any ideas on how to keep these cravings away?

Hi urdollface ... What I've been doing is having a bowl of cereal with milk; if I feel particular bad, a teaspoon of peanut butter. ... but then again I'm only 3 days in ... so the cravings not hit yet. I think the best thing though is to focus on a slimmer you, then go look in the mirror, which is actually what I did yesterday, cruel and tough though.

Okay. Second 'post day' and I have been taking walks in the morning. I have been trying to log, though yesterday I had fast food We are moving and it seemed like the best thing to between packing, cleaning, and working on my Finance Final. INSTANT REGRET!

Back on board this morning though and I am making some 'pre-cooked/prepared' meals in case that happens again.

Haven't weighed in yet! How is everyone else doing?

Id like to join
WE CAN DO THIS!

I go on holiday in 6 weeks, so lets see if I can lose 9lbs by the 30th June when I go...

Day 3 and I'm feeling full, feeling satisfied. I am trying not to get too worked up or anxious ahead of this weekend's trip. I won't be able to cook my own food, but I can stick to vegetables and fish. Just have to keep my mind focused on the ultimate goal and also on how much it sucks to work so hard on some days to throw it away over the weekend. I'm ashamed to say that I ate a bag of those dried pork rinds on Sunday...they're really low-carb and I was craving something crunchy/salty. I went right on to WalMart's website and ordered a sufficient supply to last me the summer. Anybody else turned to chicharrons to satisfy the crunchy/salty craving? Even though there was the initial "ewwww" and "hope no one (other than husband and son) sees me eating these) factor, I'm glad to have found a low-carb snack. Homemade popcorn is my thing! I pretty much eat it for at least one meal each weekend!!

Don't give up Lacostar! We have a long way to go but this challenge will motivate ! I had a good day but need to curb my snacks ( wine)…… good luck!

Morning all. So many on the thread now, I thought I'd put a list together with:
-- our leader jallforme3 started the thread on Sat 17 May.... and for 50 days so what ye think of this:
-- hope I have everyone, and hope no one minds I did this, thought it would be handy for motivation and accountability (for those that need it
-- what we want to lose (in lbs, converted the kgs), have used text first in your post, but ticker otherwise. This you may need to amend or add if you'd like.
-- put in height also, as weight is so height dependent, we could find a buddy same height and motivate each other perhaps.
So the first tracking could be day 5 perhaps? that is check-in tomorrow with your weight ...
What ye think? Useful? I haven't done this before, so not sure what people would be happy with.

Sat, 17-May, first check-in Thu 22 May
