Thank you so much everyone for your insights and advice! I probably should have been more clear- I meant sugars like cakes and processed sugars in cookies, candy, soda, etc. I'm pretty good about eating until I get in front of baked goods or candy and then that's when I go over my calories. I try to eat them in moderation…

I am slow too!!! I always go to the gym with a friend and she runs a 6 minute mile and mine is... considerably slower but I make myself stop looking at her numbers and focusing on mine. Feel proud that you can run for longer and longer! I'm slowly getting at a faster time, and I'm proud of that- it's progress for me!!!…

Same for me, I'm on 1200 calories and the problem with dessert is anything around 300 calories is a quarter of my calories, and it'll leave the rest of my meals very slim if I stay under my calories. So happy for all this good advice though, and today I looked in the mirror before my plan to eat jelly beans, and decided…

I'm very similar to you! I'm 5'5" and want to be 115 lbs. Have about 15 to go!

I have gotten much better at eyeballing calories at my buffet style dining! I no longer reach for the fries because I know it will kill my goals. But something about brownies, definitely a trigger food. And late night studying when I'm exhausted doesn't do much for my willpower honestly. I will try substituting, I don't…

Wow thank you everyone for all the advice! It will definitely help me in my journey. Unfortunately for me I can't just "not buy it" because I'm a college student and the dining hall where we eat has a buffet style, with many desserts right in front of your face. It's quite a challenge and some nights I'm so tired I just…

I am definitely there with ya! I struggle with watching what I eat without becoming obsessive... among other things haha. I added you!

I just started this journey, feel free to add me as well!

Hi! I joined this group because I see a lot of people jumping rope at the gym, I think it looks fun and like a good challenge, as well as good exercise, and I'd love to know more and get into it! I love workouts that require almost no equipment.

I start on the treadmill with a light walking warmup and then either do cardio or interval sprints. After I walk to cool down, I do core using the machines, as well as legs using machines and sometimes arms. I'm still figuring out what I'm doing at the gym as well!

I love that! I will definitely have to get that app and travel with you. The LOTR trilogy is at the top of my favorite movies list!

Hi I added you! I am a binge eater myself, recovering now! It becomes a habit, and habits are hard to break. When I start to crave food I distract myself by doing something else like taking a walk and grabbing a healthy snack after, or by journaling or drawing or doing something hands on. Chewing gum can help too!

I'm at 1210 calories so I'm with you! It's always a struggle, I try to eat a small but healthy breakfast, a good lunch and a smaller dinner on the days I'm not active or working out!

I added you! I just joined and would love to have some friends, we can keep each other accountable!
