in Introduce Yourself
Ive been a member on here for a while, im starting all over again because i ended up gaining a wonderful 20 lbs since the summer. boo!
i was down to about 135-140. im up to 155-160 now.
i workout about 5-6 days a week. i just need to get my diet down right.
im trying to swap out most things for a cleaner diet. those damn poptarts and cereal always get the best of me though!!! ive done a good job today though. I NEED MOTIVATION AND SELF CONTROL when it comes to eating i guess!
anyway gym tonight!

    Good luck to you! I need to exercise.... and clean up my food intake. I stay under my calories most days, but the things I eat are not the greatest!

    I started two years ago at 185; gave up wheat, potatoes, corn most of the time, and alcohol. The first two years I lost 10 lbs. In January, I started using myfitnesspal and bought a scale. I'm sticking to 1200 calories a day, which forces me to exercise so I can eat more than that. In one month, I've lost 10 lbs already!!!

    My treats are Activia lite yogurts with 10 dark chocolate chips in them; diet fudge ice cream bars; and peanuts/mixed nuts either with or w/out choco chips.

    Mostly I eat veggies, fruit, beef, chicken and fish, and yogurt. I use almond milk for my latte and keep lots of herbal teas on hand. Healthy snacks are key. Get rice crackers and smear them with hummus, tomato bruschetta, whatever you love.
