    hey!

    advice I have is to watch your sodium. Don't drink a lot of soda (even if it's diet). Allow yourself a free day once a week or once every other week or so to avoid binge eating. Drink water. Also, take it a day at a time!

    Good luck to you on your weight loss! :smile:

    Welcome! My suggestion is to log your food (even your bad days). I have found that as I have logged good food choices and bad, I am more aware. Being more aware of what I am eating helps me to avoid real bad choices. My other suggestion is do not deprive your body of anything you crave. If you want chocolate, then have it. The key is to have only 1 serving. I still eat pretty much anything I want. I have just started to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and I do not buy frozen dinners anymore as they are loaded with sodium. Good luck in your journey!

    Just stay active. I find the toughest thing about staying fit is making yourself a priority and making the time to do it. Find out what you like to do and do more of it. Its a lifestyle change and your biggest foes are lethargy and complacency. What do you have available? Is there a workout room in your apartment building. Do you have access to a fitness club, or is it just a dvd player and Jillian Michaels? Add me if you like. I will try my best to be a positive influence. :smile:
