Like others have said leave your money at home. This worked for me at my office (until they installed Apple Pay...).

I went vegetarian a few years ago for the animals. Like you I was really bummed out by the thought of not eating meat anymore because I loved the taste and meat was the focal point of every single dish I ate. So I started out in stages - first went the red meat, then gradually went the fish, then eventually went the…

I'm a binger with no self control, so I can't keep certain foods around as I can't just have a portion - I have the whole packet. I live with my parents, so I've had to ask them to hide all of their sweets and chocolates, otherwise I will eat them. I don't like being this way, or living this way. But there was a reason I…

First three months I lost 22 pounds. I'm now at the six month mark and have lost just over 40. The process hasn't been steady - there have been maintenances and gains. But I've trusted in the process and overall it's working!

Thank you so much, everyone. I was in a horrible place with it all this morning, but a day of being outside with a friend and coming home to your thoughtful responses has really put me back where I needed to be. Remembering the scale is just a tool and not a judge is immensely helpful. I feel silly for having got so worked…

This is amazing, really big well done! <3

My favourite meal is my last meal of the day, so I do my best not to waste my calories on breakfast. For this reason I have a protein shake made of out vanilla whey protein powder, half a frozen banana, one cup of chilled black coffee and one cup of soy milk (tastes like a frappuccino!). It works out at about 200 calories.…

I kept my weight loss attempts a secret at first - I was afraid I'd fail and be judged for not making progress. I was also loathe to receive unsolicited advice (I like to figure things out on my own, which I have done). However, 34 pounds down and I'm now more open about it with people. I work in an office and a big issue…

Use the powder in your belly button too, that works for me. With regard to the chaffing and breakouts try some tea tree/anti-fungal shower gels which are marketed toward problems like jock itch. I purchased mine off Amazon.

Desk monkey checking in! I have to take a packed lunch and leave my purse at home, or I WILL spend in the canteen. I'm not a massive packed/cold lunch fan so making food for work is the most difficult meal for me.

Weigh all food and plan every meal on MFP. I truly had no idea what a state my diet was in before I started doing that. Another thing is to factor in a bedtime snack. I ALWAYS want one and for months it was taking me over my goals because I didn't take it into account (or I thought I could fight the desire because you're…

I like to make a shake out of: 1/2 banana 1 cup iced coffee 1/2 (or full) cup soy milk The banana and coffee will give you energy. The caffine will also help you burn more calories. I like to also make it into a post-workout shake by adding a scoop of chocolate or vanilla protein powder.

I weigh every day. As some people have said what the scale says every day isn't important. It's the trend overtime - which is why I use an app called Happy Scale. It shows me the gradual decline over time, even if the individual days fluctuate. It keeps me grounded and motivated.

Great work! :)

Very inspiring, well done!

Also a desk monkey! I'll send a request. What are your guys habits when it comes to eating at work? I used to be a horrendous over eater and have more than my day's total calories in just the seven hours I was at work. My downfall was either taking lots of food to work or taking my purse to work and purchasing from the…

Love this thread! Vegans and vegetarians with open diaries, add me! I went vegetarian 2 1/2 years ago for ethical reasons (it was when Facebook videos played automatically, and I was forced to acknowledge the abuse that went on in slaughter houses). I lived on pasta and cheese for a long time - learning to eat vegetables,…
