WOMEN ONLY!

drink water and get in a work out (60 min or so).

I'm about to start also. I'm stocked up on gum and water. Hopefully I can push through the week with working out.

i was the like that the first few days that i started. i find that by having breakfast (usually fruit & a yoghurt) n then i have a light snack inbetween that and lunch n then another small snack between lunch and dinner
you eventually get into a routine where you dont feel as hungry and find you eat less calories.
it takes getting used to if your used to just eating whatever you want like i did but you will get there in the end just have will power

Fit a work out in, drink lots of tea and water. If the chocolate craving kicks in, I sip on skim or soy milk with a tiny tablespoon of rich dark chocolate cocoa. It's 175 cals and it lasts me an hour.

If you're already at your max calories, just workout so you can get some calories back. Some light cardio might do the trick (walking or light jogging, aerobics, etc).

Go for a good workout. Let go of what you've done and try to prepare for the rest of the day/week. I always have one day during TOM where I eat everything, then after that I try to be prepared to minimize the damage. Greek yogurt with fruit is sweet and tangy, salted almonds cover salt cravings and bliss dark chocolate soothes my chocolate needs. I bring specific servings that I can work in to my calories for the day. That helps me keep the damage to a minimum.

Good luck and it'll be done before you know it

Drink lots of water, work out for 50 to 60 minutes. Cut down on the sodium. I am having problems eating all my calories. Hang in there...it does get easier!

I've only been tracking for apx 2 weeks. Over the past weeks I've notice I seem to have better days if I get my work outs in before I start work. I have to keep close track of why I'm eating. I pick up food when for every reason: sad, mad, happy, worried, etc... I eat a lot when I'm bored. On my bad days I focus on drinking 10-12 cups of water. I keep sugar free gym in my cupboards, work out bag, car, purse, and in my desk. I also brush my teeth after each meal. Once I brush my teeth I don't feel like eating anymore. I also keep scope near by to rinse with if I think I'm starving to death. If I still need to eat I fill up with fruits and veggies. I figure if I over eat on calories I'd rather it be fruits/veggies instead of candy. I also plan my meals on the weekend for the next week. If I don't have a plan then at dinner time I tend to pick something up or grab something I don't have the calories for. Hope some of this helps. Each day is a challenge for me but it's getting easier as I go.

The first week is the hardest to adjust... The stomach can grumble, I know. Eventually your body gets more familiar and you don't get as hungry. Exercise will give you more calorie allowance for the day.

Also remember that you have a calorie deficit. Depending on what your weekly goal is, that deficit is 500-1000 calories per day, so as long as you don't go over that limit too, you should at least not gain weight (theoretically).

And don't forget that a lot of people benefit from having the occasional "crazy" day to keep their metabolism guessing, and that you're "good" for the most part. Don't be too hard on yourself and remember that this particular circumstance will go away soon.

Drink lots of water, and avoid the scale until like 2 days after TOM is gone. Even if you eat right, and stay under calorie...being a woman sometimes just screws us! lol But as long as you try to calm the cravings and watch your calories, any gain you see during is usually water weight, and goes away quick.

This was me last week! Workout if you feel up to it,. Try to eat a light dinner like a grilled chicken salad and Italian dressing.
