  • HI Everyone ,
    I'm new to the site and found this board and thought that it might be somthing that might be able to help me stick to my goals however big or small they might be. Lets see a little bit about myself .. Im a newlywed and couldnt be happier with my choice in husband lol . Starting this process at 210 im down to 175 and have 30lbs to go . I would appreciate any advice and support .

    1) Not stress over things i have no controll over.
    2) Take the stairs not the elevator
    3) Log all of my food

    When I'm exercising I think it's easier to stop eating because it's painful, when I'm eating I think it's better to exercise because food is delicious.

    cant agree more, if only i could keep the stop eating because it's painful, in the front of my mind, but MFP is good, ive just treated myself to breakfast as im working today and then got the worst shock when i realised id pigged 960 cals in one go..........yikes so i wont be doing that again!! next time ill research the cals before or stick to shops which advertise the horros of what your about to do!

  • Hello everyone! I can't believe it's already March 19th!!!!!

    Weekend goals:

    1) Log everything and stay within calories---- DONE!!!
    2.) Avoid weekend snacking (especially Sunday night snacking in front of the TV)---- DONE!!!
    3.) Exercise---DONE!! (Took a long and brisk walk, mixed with a little jogging,both days and did a yoga DVD.)

    I SO needed a weekend like this to get me back on track. Now, for the start of a new week:

    Today:
    1.) No snacking on office treats (We seem to have a never ending supply of girl scout cookies around here and the thin mints are calling to me. LOL!)
    2.) Step up the exercise. (Walks were great but need to add some toning in there.)
    3.) Keep focused and not waist time. (I have a tendency do internet search/ shop when I don't like what I'm working on.)
