Take a moment for yourself, even if it's just taking a nice long bath, going for a walk outside, meditating.Just something simple. Clear your mind and relax. Think about the reason why you decided to take this journey and where it has taken you so far. Then remind yourself about your goals. I understand exactly how you are…

Great job! those situations are very tricky, glad you pulled tru and won the battle! Keep it up

Jumped on the scale this morning, lost 1.5 lbs! Whatever I am doing seems to be working so far, so YAY! Thank you for all your advise. I will certainly keep on putting into practice what I learned over the past week. Have a great weekend fitness pals!

My native language is French. Canadienne Francaise pour etre plus precise! mais je parle l'anglais.

I don't remember mentioning in here that i don't measure my food, i do. Listen, im all about tough love and being accountable. I am a lawyer afterall, i am all about details, i am my own best critic, i am ruthlyss and VERY driven . What i take issue with is, when you put yourself out there, seek advise, encouragement and…

1200 cals is too extreme. Remember, you are just starting out. You are not used to eating healthy and practicing portion control. Start with a goal that's more realistic. Trust me, you will still loose. I am sure that before you started your weight loss journey, you were prob eating over 2500 cals per day, on good days!…

I do that too. Most of the food i eat is repetition so it's nice to gave the info handy when it comes to logging. If i eat say, a cup of corn flake i scan the box, look at the result in MFT and if it's the same as what it says on the box, im good to go. I have logged food for a long time, i am aware that sometimes it's…

i measure yes. and i scan most of my food by the bar code so the correct entry is used.

I haven't measures myself since i started logging, 5 days ago. I plan to measuring this weekend after i get 2-3 additional workouts in. I just weighed myself this morning for kicks, just to see if there are improvements in my overall weight. I understand that the scale may take a bit more time to budge ;)

Yes, prior to logging, i was working out 4-5 times per week. (30 to 45 minutes of elliptical machine and 45 minutes of weights) i have been doing this over over 2 years.

Hi Guys, I have been logging since I made this post on sunday. I upped my cals to a little over 1600 just to start off, so far so good. Didn't go over my cals, not even once!!! so, 5 days ago. I had a rest day and I exercised 3 times. 1 hot yoga class and 2 workouts at the gym ( 45 min of elliptical and 45 min of weights).…

smothered being, I dip a kitchen brush in the pesto 2-3 times and I cover my chicken breast in it, you can very much see the chicken, it's not super thick, but safe to say, every inch of that breast has been brushed with pesto LOL. Then I top it with low fat mozz. cheese.

Thank you all for the reality check. I have been logging my food since I made this post. Now, lets hope I see results! I have carefully read all your comments and will be applying the tips you all gave me!

have you ever tried yoga or hot yoga? i have serious knees and lower back issues and hot yoga has done wonders.

Hi, i will add you. Im kind of looking for the same.

Good luck! You can add me, always looking for new friends. We can support each other!

Im going on 50 pounds! add me ! :)

Thanks so much guys, I will stop buying that stuff! and use the extra money for a nice massage to reward me for a good week of exercising and diet :)

Im looking for more friends as well! im going to kick it up a notch after new years and will need all the support/motivation I can get!! :)

Feel free to add me as well! im looking to bump up my progress for the year 2016!!

I am also a military wife, married into the military 2 months ago. My hubby is on tasking right now, haven't seen him in a month. Boy, do I ever understand your situation! It's hard. A year ago, I weighed over 200 pounds, didn't have any energy, smoked a pack of smokes per day, had no friends, and felt like a fat cow. The…

I am always looking for new friends. Add away!!!

I understand!! im the same way, but i have been going at it for a month now, sticking to my diet and exercise. Always reward yourself. I like to go out for supper on the weekends and go see a movie. It keeps me sane. Dont give in to any excuses!

I need more friends as well, i love and appreciate the support from all my current friends, but im always looking for new support and inspirations.

i have this problem as well. Drink lots and lots of water. When i get stressed out and feel the need to eat, i take a hot bubble bath. If i MUST eat something, i cave but try to portion control. You are welcome to add me.

i should try the computer screen thing, its basicaly the only thing i didint try yet.

Hi i am new to this, first week of diet and excercice. Worked out 3 times in a row, feeling tired but i am going on my lunch hour. Hoping this works, and works for good. Tired of being tired.
