    I'm dieting too for the same reason. I have a wedding in May that I need to look great for. Let's do it!

    I am starting on this again! Christmas killed me, and need to get back on track too! Good luck with the new routine, and it can be enjoyable when you are cooking up really healthy food!

    Eating healthy isn't my strong point, neither is portion control.

    65 days is plenty of time. You'll definitely be ready. Log your food and chat with your mfp friends everyday.

    Best thing for me as far as accountability this time around has been the constant tracking of everything I eat. I watch my numbers to plan accordingly if I know I'm going out to eat or want to splurge on something. It's all about keeping the number in at/just below what MFP suggests for your daily intake. I never realized how many "bites" or "trys" of something I'd have until I started charting those things. Don't skip a day. Log on everyday and keep track :) Good luck!

    Thank you! So far thats been the hardest part, I also difnt realize how many bites of things I took throughout the day. Also my boss is always buying pizzas and cakes and donuts. Its extremely hard to stay away from, or at least minimize how much I eat. Logging it immediately and being able to look at my current calorie count when theres a box of donuts in my face has been helping for the last two days.
