in Getting Started
Losing weight had always come easy to me when I was younger. After having 2 children and unable to manage time to exercise and not eating right - I have gained soo much weight that I no longer feel comfortable in my own skin. I would love to hear how you get motivated and quick simple things to eat on -the- go or in a hurry. I need to go back to a healthy lifestyle and need support!

    I do a lot of nutrition bars along with a glass of milk. My favorite are Zone Perfect Double Dark Chocolate. On work days I eat them for breakfast and lunch. i throw a couple in my bag and off I go. I've never been much of a breakfast or lunch fan so these suit my lifestyle. that's just me, however. It works for me. I strongly encourage people to find the simple things that work best for them. Best of luck! : )

    The best way (after reading sexy pants) is to just start logging. If you can stay in your calorie goal at first, great, if not, keep logging and reviewing it to find what you can do to easily get there. That may require substitutions, portion control, or placing things on a treat list.
