OP do you drink diet soda? I found that when I cut out the Diet Pepsi/Coke, I stopped having sugar cravings. Also, if you have time, read the book Salt, Sugar, Fat. It talks about how the food giants in the industry have hooked us into consuming the bad stuff. Your addiction to sugar could also be attributed to processed…

I totally know how you feel... The best thing right now is to not beat yourself up about it. You understand what your challenge is, you just are lacking the motivation to do anything about it at the moment (we've all been there!). Can you think back to the times you were really motivated and try to pull from that memory?…

My goal this month is to pare down the wheat products. I've been hearing/reading that gluten is an inflammatory and I've been having a heck of a time with my joints! I'm just going to try to limit or even maybe delete them all together by the end of the month. It's going to be hard, so that's why I'm taking the whole…

I'm having a hard week too. The weather's changed and I originally had good intentions to just brave the wind and rain and that idea tanked! I've even had a hard time logging everything in because I know I've been going over my calorie limit. The good news is that I have gone to my exercise class and I haven't completely…

That fat is nasty. I'm doing good too... I've been staying on track with my goal and the food consumption has been going pretty well too. I finally made my diary open to my friends, which was kind of scary for me at first because I didn't want people seeing some of the bad choices I made, but I'm realizing that I'll have…

Hi everyone, I'm doing pretty well this week. I'm sticking to my goal of working out 5 times a week, and that's pretty stellar for me. I'm also setting aside time to plan dinners for the week so I don't take the easy way out (read: take out pizza and fast food). I also wore some jeans that I bought 12 pounds ago and…

Eating well and travelling often don't go hand in hand in my life! What helps me be prepared is stocking low-calorie snacks, and trying to plan ahead as much as possible. I didn't do so great over the weekend, but I did manage not to eat everything in front of me and still lost 3.5 pounds. Not sure how that happened, but…

Well, despite having a tough weekend, I still lost 3.5 pounds. I guess the hard work I did earlier in the week paid off! I hope you all had a decent week too!

Well, today didn't go as well as planned... after I did fairly well at the barbecue, I ended up going to a baby shower where there were tons of good-looking foods, so I ended up eating more than I planned for the day. But I can say I had a couple of successes: I completed my goal for the week of working out 5 days, at…

I'm going to a go-kart place today and lunch will be provided. That'll be the big challenge... I can't plan my diary when I don't know what's being served! I'll just have to wing it. Tomorrow is lunch at my mom's house and she always makes yummy stuff so maybe that'll be my cheat meal for the week. I plan on logging in…

Amazing!!! You are an inspiration! ????????????????

Great job! You look great!

Those little dark purple plums (the non-juicy type - I think they're called Italian Plums?).

I'm not even really sure what my triggers are... I'm pretty sure stress plays a part, but I also wonder it if's boredom? I was eating whenever I wanted to and I wasn't even realizing it. Also, I have acid reflux issues and I think I was subconsciously eating to keep the acid down. Knowing the triggers definitely helps…

Well, don't beat yourself up too much, Miss Mac! :smile: Your schedule definitely sounds like it's giving you a challenge... could you work out before you go to work? I wouldn't want you working out so late either. You need some down time before you go to bed and working out would only ramp you up more. It's hard, but you…

My goal was to get exercise five days a week, so that will definitely take some planning. Ideally, I'd like to get this in Monday thru Friday, because weekends are busy and I don't want to have to try to fit it in then. So I really have to plan ahead... take tonight, for example. I like to go for a walk after dinner, but…

Hi Michelle! I have the same problem with eating in the evening. One way I tackle the problem is to eat a decent-sized dinner around 6:30 - 7:00 pm with lots of veggies to fill me up and then allow myself a tiny little snack later, IF I'm still craving something or feel hungry. I save up enough calories for that little…

Looks like a lot of us will be getting off our bums and exercising. :happy:

Hi! I really like your goal and I totally identify with it. Why are weekends always so hard? Since exercise has been the biggest challenge for me, my goal will be to complete at least 30 minutes of exercise, five days a week. Last week I failed at this, so I think this is a suitable challenge for me. I'll set the time…

Hello there, my name is Kris! I started my day one 2 weeks ago, but I wanted to join this group because I know I'm going to have a hard time staying motivated at some point and thought I could use some support (and lend some support in the process). As for motivation, it's helped for me to keep a "body journal" because I'm…

I'm in, and so are my kids!

You are in inspiration! I've got 100 pounds to lose at 41 years old and it seems so daunting, but to hear that you can outrun your kids is awesome. :) Thanks for posting!
