I'm wanting to start a great support group. I want dedicated, struggling, and serious people for motivation and tips for each of you!
We'll do monthly pic posts or measurement posts and hold each other accountable!

    Last night I had Buffalo Wild Wings! It was my first cheat day and I am definitely feeling the low energy side of my bad decision this morning! Going to hit it hard today with some exercise and healthy foods!
    I'm down 2 lbs!
    How is your progress going?

    I start training for a half marathon next week! I'm so nervous.
    Working night shift and my 2 year old make it hard to stay in the gym and keep my calorie count in check! But I'm determined!

    I have a really bad habit of stepping on the scale EVERYDAY! Im going to make it a point to only weigh myself once a week- Friday's!
    How often do you weigh?

    Tip - having wings (as a reasonable portion) isn't a bad decision. It's all about long term adhesion to a mindful way of eating. Denial and austerity does work for some, for a while, but is it something you personally will be doing for the long haul?

    Best of luck.

    I too am guilty of wanting to step on the scale every morning as well, but I do know that with all the ways your weight can fluctuate from day to day it's an exercise in frustration! So I weigh myself once a week on Monday morning. Helps keep me in check on the weekends!

    I'm looking for a wide variety of breakfast foods. What do you eat for breakfast?

    Hi everyone, i am in. I hope everyone checks in daily/weekly if possible. Some start off great then fizzle.
    Well that said, hi i am a newbie here, in my 50s, with approx 100 pounds to lose. I did start a few weeks back, but just had a knee scope operation done a week ago. Wow, this really through my plan off, feeling better today, will attempt a very slow walk outside for 10 minutes. This is hard for me as i was a very active person (just ate too much).
    Breakfast: usually high fibre cereals/skim milk

    Hi, do you guys have room in your Ultimate Support Group? I would like to join. As for breakfast, I have taken a liking to Jimmy Dean's Breakfast Sandwiches. They range anywhere from 170 to 270 calories and they are pretty filling. I personally like the one with turkey sausage, but I haven't tried them all.
