“Being realistic with yourself about what type of nutrition program is right for you is actually one of the keys to long-term success,” says dietician and weight-loss expert Jaime Mass, R.D."
If we choose a meal plan that is to restrictive and doesn't allow for indulgence every now and then. We will not stick to it. We are creatures of habit and as we all know, habits are hard to break. So be realistic and choose wisely and don't beet yourself up, when you slip up. When you fall you get up, right? So, just get back on track and keep going.0 -

Lost 1.8 lbs. My goal was 3 so I am a little frustrated but I know hormones are not my friend this week. Going to try for another 3 for next week. A loss is still a loss though.

Hello Fam... I'm working hard to stay within my calories per day; I even joined Nutri System to gain control of my portions. Still not seeing the results that I would like but I'm hopeful that it will all kick in soon.0

"Should You skip meals to lose weight? NO! The adverse effects are many when skipping meals. Not only does it slow your metabolism but it can also lead to overeating, because when you do eat, you're overly hungry. Do Not cut your calories below your recommended allowance below 1,200 if you are a woman and 1,500 if you are a man. Falling below these daily allowances can do real damage to your metabolism and result in excessive loss of lean muscle tissue. When you dramatically reduce your calories on a consistent basis, it can slow your metabolism or trigger a plateau. Consistent exercise — plus the occasional high-calorie day — will help ward off a plateau." JM0 -
Ok Off to a great start, I have walked 3.30 miles this morning and ate a healthy breakfast. Now for the rest of the day.0

Energize your exercise routine by choosing the right pre-workout foods. Whether you’re an early-bird exerciser, a midday mover, or a night owl. The perfect meal before exercise should be low in fat, moderate in easily digested carbohydrates and protein, and low in fiber, and it should contain some water.0 -

Hey everybody!
Just wanted to send a little motivational post your way. I joined this challenge because last month I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. When I weighed in during my routine physical on 6/16/2015 I was at my highest ever weight of 301 pounds. I have always been overweight, but had never had any issues with high BP, cholesterol, sugar, triglycerides or anything else. So, being told I was diabetic was quite a shock for me. My labs weren't horrible, but enough to have my doctor concerned. She wanted to put me on 2 different medications.
I asked her to give me 30 days to see if I could keep my sugar levels under control without medical help. She agreed, reluctantly if I may say so.
So for the past 30 days I have been testing out this new-to-me low carb life style. I had my 30 day follow up appointment yesterday, and these were my numbers:
Fasting sugar levels down from 156 to under 100 each and every single day
Blood pressure down from 130/90 to 118/80
Weight down from 301 to 276
Yes, I really did lose 25 pounds in 30 days! And I still eat chocolate almost every day, but just one small piece of dark instead of the amounts I would have eaten in the past. If I can do this, so can you! So hang in there, take it one day and one mile at a time. And be your own best motivator! Don't rely on others to push you - they have nothing to gain from it, keep pushing yourself! You can do so much more than you think you can!!
Good luck to all, and Happy Friday!!
