Just gotta do it. I have been like a 5 soda a day drinker my entire life. Like literally days would go by with me not drinking water. I'm in the process of doing it now. My method: 1 Never drink soda. 2. If I get a craving --> drink iced coffee with splenda 3. If I feel like I am going to break or I want a taste of…

if I get a sweet tooth I eat 5 fruit snacks after putting them in the freezer. It isn't healthy but it is only 4- calories and shouldn't hurt in the long run.

this. going to buy a pair of 32 inch waist jeans and strutting around. Then going to the beach!

I try not to go over my calories and get my protein in. But, if I'm under and I feel fine then I won't eat the rest of the calories. I know my body and I know when I need to eat.

I go to the gym in my apartment building. It is a 2 minute walk and no one seems to work out there. It is great for me because I can get a good workout with no distractions and can watch TV at the same time.

I have the same pair. Second this.

I use the adidas Sennheiser behind the neck headphones. Best 60 dollars I have spent. Personally, an earbud doesn't feel that comfortable when I'm running and most fall out. I decided that I would change up and invest in these about 2 years ago and it has been great...…

He has great taste in basketball!

this sounds credited. Seems like this is gonna be the way to go!

that is amazing. you look great!

my sentiments exactly.

I am new here as well. Feel free to add me.

law school? obviously somewhere that would be ashamed of my vocabulary :laugh: . ohh...can't cut out the greatest sports franchise of all time!!

this is actually the hard part for me. When I'm not stressed over deadlines for school(I am a stress eater), I usually am very active. I have trouble knowing how many calories I burn during these activities.

Thanks. Hopefully, I pass the bar exam and get a job soon!!! I love chili, but never had legumes(may have to try them). Might have to try a turkey chili(is that healthier?) "Sprite Zero tastes just like regular to me!" really? gonna def have to try that.

Thanks for all the great advice. I think I really need to cut out soda and sugary drinks. This will be tough but I'm gonna try to do it gradually. I also will likely be more active this summer outside of studying because I'm no longer in an urban area. This means more outside bball and soccer. I love these sports and…

Thanks. that was very helpful. I am thinking about doing something very similar with the soda and sweets. I have tried cold turkey and it doesn't work for me, I think I need a longer term solution. I am kind of a foodie(love to cook/bake).

That is true. Soda does cost money(im so addicted that I drink like 4 cans a day). Right now, I'm using my saving to pay off loans. Soda is free for me because I'm gonna be with the rents for a few months. But, it is highly unlikely I'll be able to consistently get them to buy healthy food. There are usually chicken…

Gonna give this shot. My Current weight: 231 End of May Goal weight: 221 Goal Weight: 205

I'm usually good about saying no to people but I feel like I may come off as a super *kitten* this time(only because the whole point of the trip is probably to get drunk). "Do you want to drink?" Nope. I want no part of it. I'm feeling great and haven't had a soda(any other non water drink) in 10 days. It may not sound…

I refuse to drink soda. I was really addicted before starting this plan. I used to drink like 5 cans per day. I would literally drink 0 pure water per day. Now I drink only water. If I get bored with water I put a tiny bit of OJ in it or squeeze in some lemon or lime. It seems to be working and the craving are starting to…

You should be happy being tall though. Imo, weight gain is much less noticeable on tall people. Plus, we get that long lean built. :)
