    LOL. True story. We CAN do it. We have to stop being so impatient.

    My biggest vice is SODA. I am trying my darnest to give that crap up. What about you guys?

    I was never much of a soda person.. and chocolate used to be a big problem... but now its the convenient fast food that's my demon... especially if I miss my bus and have to wait another 30 mins and there's like a burger king right behind me.. the horror

    Drinking & being lazy have been my latest down fall, which I find hanging out & drinking leads to sitting around being lazy...

    Me too all. I want to lose 40 lbs. I love wine. I know drinking and dieting are no no's. It's the weekends that kill me. I workout right now 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I know that is not near enough if I really want to drop pounds. Oh, and I seem to want to eat like my husband and son can !

    I haven't had a soda since Monday & I happen to.....well....LOVE SODA! So I am doing pretty good. I have been keeping a 32oz water bottle full at all times which seems to help a little & I'm getting my water for the day after just 1 refill. I love wine & beer as well, how many glasses of wine could you allow yourself a week to still stay healthy? Anyone know?

    Thanks everyone! and I hear ya! Taco Bell is the reason that I gained so much weight. It's addictive.

    I keep a 24oz water bottle with me and drink two full bottles of it per day, I need to start drinking more though. I find myself eating taco bell like once a week though. Shame on me.

    and let me tell you, I have NO support system at home, meaning that my boyfriend eats crap and soda and looks good and won't not eat it around me so... I can't resist the urge to get something from TB when he does. LOL

    I don't believe in not having the things you love. I say, drink it in increments or drink it once a week. You're allowed to have a chill/Eat a little bit of junk day. But only a little! lol

    loool thats the worst!! it's horrible to try avoiding eating something when its right in ur face and u can smell it... hmm who was it that said a small glass of red a day is good and i totally agree about not getting rid of everything u love... its a sad truth that food is literally our lives... what is the gist of what we do, eat and sleep lol so if food becomes boring... i think life would be just that little bit worse

    Set a goal of losing 5 lbs. and then go to the next 5 lbs. Don't look at the big picture. Set small goals.

    Hello and thank you :) I'm trying to lose like 60-70 pounds. Fat chance.

    Fat chance? It's totally do-able. I did it just be changing my diet, without exercise. You can do anything that you want to do!

    P.S. Welcome to the site. I'm currently trying to lose another 50 WITH exercise incorporated in this time :]
