    Have fun at your retreat. That is in my list of things to do. I need to track my food as I go otherwise I think I forget what I actually had to eat

    Hi! I would like to join this challenge. I think I can do 20 pounds by them. I've gained 10 pounds over the past year after a medication change and I'm struggling to get those off and more. My problem food is sugar. I definitely use it as an emotional crutch.

    So here's to progress and feeling better in my body.

    Hello! I'm late starting, but I would like to join this challenge. Over the past 2 months I have gotten serious about my health and weight loss. I'm down 11 pounds so far, but the scale has stalled for the past few weeks. I'm going to keep pushing through anyway.

    Count me in!!

    I just added all the food I ate today. Just 260 calories over. It really could have been worse.

    I've dropped about a pound or so since my last weigh-in. Currently, my weight seems to fluctuate between 156 and 157. 16 pounds to go!

    Managed to go to spin class this morning. At this point I'm under calories but I'm not proud of the potato chips...
    My goal is to make sure I work out every morning while I'm away from home.

    10 day update!

    SW 172 (may 11th)
    CW 169 (may 21st)
    GW 150 by September (140 eventually)

    Logging everything helped me see how much I snack! I have been using food/sugar as reward at work whenever I was stressed out or tired and will try to stay away from that.

    ImaginaryJewel,
    Try rewarding yourself with new pair of earrings or something non-food related.

    Soypup,
    Try using a pure Stevia for a sweetness. I don't like to use the word "sweetener" because Stevia is a natural herb...like parsley is a herb. I prefer "Sweet Leaf" stevia brand, because it doesn't have anything added to it. I also eat a LOT of fresh fruit. Find what's in season that you like and eat that. Cherries, watermelon & strawberries are some of my favorites!

    Count me in! Definitely would like to join in !

    I gained some lbs back and would love to lose it all by September by the latest! Although my move is only to the next town, the stress of packing and putting stuff to storage is causing me to eat out more and going over my limit.:( I need to get back to my healthy routine.

    Have you tried Halo Top ice cream? I just discovered it today, and it's amazing! It tastes like actual ice cream, and in the entire pint has about 250 calories, 20 grams of sugar, and 25 grams of protein, along with a lot of fiber and probiotics (omg I sound like a spokesperson...)
