  • Thanks all for your responses. I can tell you I prefer the flavor of the oatmeal bread more and it has been filling me up so I think I am going to just stay with that unless I can't find it and then I will use the Ezekial as my second option.

  • I totally know how you are feeling! I have to force myself to just go outside and walk regardless of what the weather is like..like today was under 20 degrees...otherwise I will eat the house! I am trying to distinguish between cravings and true hunger so I normally try the water trick and the get up and move trick and it…

  • I totally understand how you are feeling and you know I finally decided that the first thing for me was to love me for who I am and not what others want me to be. Once I finally became comfortable in the skin I was in then mentally it hit that I was ready to start changing my lifestyle and work on becoming fit for me. I…

  • I was told to get a chair and simply start to sit and then pop back up so have your butt hit the chair then come back up again. After a time of doing this your form will learn how to do it without a chair.

  • Also I love walking and even though we have snow on the ground here in Colorado I find the sidewalks that are cleaned and just walk those even if I have to walk back and forth.

I HATE the scale and it always ends up making me sabotage myself so this year I have committed to logging EVERYTHING(good or bad), walking more, and making healthier choices. I have done small things already such as not buying sodas for the house and…
