I struggle with sweets. I try to limit myself to small amounts of it. Or just don't have it in the house because I have a hard time controlling myself. Sometimes fruit is a good substitute for candy.

I talked to my midwife and she recommended smaller portions and try to cut back on sweets. But I was kind of looking if anyone had suggestions on doing so.

Starting November weight 197 Ending November weight 192 11/6-198 11/13-204 I am going in the wrong direction!! Not sure what my deal is. My commitment has gone down and I'm disappointed in myself for letting it get this way. Sigh...

I have been doing the same. Not sure if it's the weather change or just loss of motivation or what but it is discouraging.

I did the legs yesterday and can feel it today! I love that feeling. Ive been doing other exercises so not following the plan completely.

Wow. How and what are you doing to loose?

Unfortunately the scale is going up. But hopefully I can stop it and make changes before I undo everything I've been working for.

11/6: 198 Gained a few pounds this week. Need to try harder next

I'm in for this challenge. I need to see some changes and try harder. Current weight- 197 November weight- 192 Ultimate goal- 170

I like your goals, I am going to try to make some too this month. I need to change something so I can see changes.

What and where are you finding challenges for exercise? I could use a challenge. I'm am struggling to keep on my workout schedule and have not been watching my eating.

I did not lose anything this week. I'm kind of bummed but I didn't eat the best iver the weekend so it makes sense. I need to try harder this week.

That is so hard for me. I can't buy any candy until the day before. And I don't allow myself to go to the store after Halloween because I know candy is on sale and I am week. I plan on not buying as much, if we run out we run out. I am going to allow myself a couple pieces a day. That way I can get my 'fix' but not eat the…

I was scared to weigh myself this week because I had an awful week and weekend with my eating and exercising. But I lost 2 pounds! I think most of it is water weight but I'll take it. Finally under 200!! I need to get back on track. My mini goal for this week is to be sure to accurately measure my food. Many times I just…

Volume eating is a new term for me. I think I would like it. Can you guys tell me more about it?

A little bit of everything.

I am tracking my food. I usually stay at my goal or slightly under.

No weight loss yet again. I've been working out more and can feel myself getting stronger. I'm a little bummed the scale hasn't gone down however I am enjoying this heathier feeling.

I gained a couple pounds this week. I need to step up my game.

I am really struggling to make healthy eating choices but also to get myself to workout. Anyone have suggestions on how to snap out if it?

I did not loose anything this week. Feeling a little bummed about it. I have to keep at it. It's so hard to stay motivated. I just want junk food and to be lazy.

Down 6 pounds! So excited need to keep this momentum going. I tend to loose the motivation after a couple weeks.

I found these little organic dark chocolate pieces that are perfect for my temptation. I can have a few to satisfy my craving but not feel guilty because it is about 20 calories. I think this will help me not over eat sweets (my weakness)

Sounds like we are in the same place size wise. I've been up and down. This time I am going to continually make small changes so it turns into life long habit to be healthy.

I did ok this weekend. I love what you said about each day is a new chance. And how even each meal is a chance to make healthier choices. It's so easy to just give up for the day. I know I have said 'well I already went over my calories or ate bad I might as well go all out". Which is a horrible way if thinking but I'm…

I am trying to psych myself up to go workout. I would rather lay in bed, especially since the mornings have been cool. I know I will feel better once I workout. If I don't i will regret it all day and feel guilty.

Well... :( I did not go down at all this week. However, looking back I can see why there was no change. I need to try harder this week.

I took my first spinning class today. It was tough and o felt like throwing up but I loved it. I already feel healthier. However, I then had a burger with fries and beer tonight for dinner. I am telling myself it was a treat and I can't do it frequently. I need to stay motivated and focused.

I always tell myself I'm going to walk on the treadmill after work but by the time I'm done I'm tired and just want to sit and watch tv. Maybe I need to start with just 10 minutes of regular walking while I watch tv. I don't have to start out running or anything.

A trainer once told me that you need to make sure you are eating enough calories because your body will go into starvation mode and start storing fat.
