    Hey everyone! I'm Molly, I'm 5'3", and I'm 20!

    My starting weight is 141.4, and my goal for the end of July is to be at 139. Obviously, it would be fantastic if I lost more than that (I'm only 2.4 lbs away at the moment), which would give me a headstart for my end of August goal of 132!

    I'm just doing a 1200 calorie diet at the moment, trying to cut down on my sugar intake!

    Hi everyone. I really need this group. I tend to be good with working out but need some accountability with my food. My goals for the next two weeks is to cut out white flour and sugar. I hope to lose 7 pounds. I am currently 220. I really want to get below 200.

    Anyone have advice on how to stay motived and not give in to cravings? What has worked for you guys in the past?

    Thanks,
    Sarah :)

    Hi Sarah!

    I work at a Thai restaurant, and get really bad cravings while there, but what has worked for me is drinking 8 oz hot/warm water with lemon juice. The lemon is an appetite suppressant. I also prepare something, like a protein shake or a Tupperware of sliced apples and carrots, and won't let myself eat anything else until I've finished that and waited 20 minutes. It gets really really hard sometimes, but just remember that the cravings will pass!

    Hope that helps!

    Hi I'm Fatimah and I'm new to mfp. I have already cut out junk food from my diet 5 days ago so I would love to join this challenge. I am 184.4 pounds and I normally follow my mfp calorie range slightly going over occasssionally. I'm working on that and maybe this group will help. Good luck to everyone.

    Thanks for the advice @ silverkitten1, mollydt, and hezzietiger1.

    Mollydt - I am going to try the hot water with lemon to beat craving. I have never tried that and since this is two weeks of no cheating, I need all the help I can get. I have heard that is good for you too.

    Hezzietiger1 - thanks for advice about different meals and planning. I am now getting ready to prepare some chicken for the week. Also, thanks for sharing about eliminating the white flour and sugar. I know it is what I need to do.

    Silverkitten1 - will try to use the distractions when the cravings get harder to deal with.

    I sent the earlier message after I had three chocolate chip cookies with lunch. Over the years, I really lost control with the food. I am excited about the next two weeks and hope to reach my goal of losing seven pounds.

    I noticed some of you on here have lost a lot of weight. I want to lose over 60 pounds so it is so good to see. It makes me feel like it possible and obtainable.

    No cheating, two weeks, we can do this !

    As of today Sunday 15th of July 2012, my starting weight is 139 and my goal weight is 125-130. Specifically speaking, 130-135 By the end of the week and 120-130 by the end of the two weeks. I am menstruating so I am currently retaining water weight more so than usual. Good luck everyone!
