Any tips to help motivate me to stay away from sugar/carbohydrates as I would like to stick to a 1,200 calorie per day day but struggle with those when trying to restrict.

    My motivation is pictures of my goal vacation. It makes me think of how I want to look for it. Saved it as the background on my phone. I also bought a small glider (mini elliptical) so that I have something right here to burn calories quickly with no excuses. Here's a pic of my glider I put in the corner of my bedroom. It folds up too!

    I've lost the most when I restrict sugar and fast carbs. No dairy except cottage cheese, no fruits except tomato and avocado, no breads, rice, pasta, cereal or tortillas. I'll only allow them for myself once a week. Lots of beans, protein and veggies. I've lost 33 pounds in the last 24 days... But I had a baby 24 days ago, too. So I wouldn't set that as a standard. :-)

    Thanks for the tips, sounds a little like the paleo diet. I will give it a try. Congrats on your baby
