I schedule my work outs weekly and always choose Saturday. It gives my that boost and reminder to not blow the weekend.

Ugh I feel you here. I have been doing great for about 3 weeks now but had a super stressful day at work Monday which resulted in eating a doughnut and a couple mini snickers. I acknowledged my feeling in the moment so that is a small win, knowing is half the battle. I also did log this in my tracker, I ended up going to…

I agree that you are closer to your ideal weight than you think so this is a lot to lose quickly, but get started and see what happens. Weighing less on memorial day than you do today is a win no matter the number.

This is an interesting topic because I recently realized I am picky too. Like my banana has to be perfectly ripe or I won't eat it. And I only like raw broccoli. But trying all the different varieties is the best plan off action.

Ramen noodles are deep fried they are not a good option. Whole wheat are the best I have found for me, the entire family eat them now.

Keep going I only lost .2 of a pound my first week. It was very depressing I just finished week two and lost 2 pounds. Keep it up weight loss, is a head game and takes a long time. Keep moving forward toward your goals.

My family loves cabbage roll soup. 1 pound ground Turkey browned Head of cabbage cut up One chopped onion 2 jar basic spaghetti sauce 1/2 cup green pepper 1 teaspoon dried basil Put all ingredients in crockpot plus one jar of water. Low for hours. Yummmy. If you would like add 1/2 cup instant rice last 30 minutes.

Try each cardio machine, treadmill, bike, elliptical, at the gym even if its only 5 minutes on each. You will be surprised how much easier it feels the second time you go to the gym. My plan was to go slow so that I would go back to the gym. If i wore myself out the first time chances of me going back were slim. Long ago I…

I also think shin splints I had them a couple years ago doing that same plan. Stretching often and not running until they were gone is what I did. Mostly flexing and pointing toes through out the day. Biking is a great idea until your shins are better, don't let it stop you from moving to your goals.

If you were doing those activities before starting a weight loss plan you would not want to count them. That is your daily activity.

You do have big goals and so do I but remember it may not be 3lbs each week as long as your working at it don't let the scale stop you. Sometimes you need to look at the monthly loss.

I am 40 and my sugar level is always borderline so I really watch my carb intake. I am starting out, again, so I don't have a specific carb goal but try to choose the protein and veggies more than carbs. I will try to friend you on your profile but I am new and not sure how to navigate so well.

Walking a 15 minute mile, I just started walking this week and I am at a 20 minute mile.
