I love your encouragement. You truly are an inspiration!

Yes I am. I will look at someone and think, "he/she needs to eat a cheeseburger" because they are too thin or I will think that "that person needs to lay off the candy bars" I hate that about myself that I am judgemental and it is wrong. Even though you know everyone is thinking it. Even at a recent wedding I had more than…

When I first started my diet, I lost seven pounds really fast. It was before I came here. It was water weight and I could feel my body start to shape up. I was using muscles I hadn't used in a long time. Then nothing. I started making sure I was drinking enough water, get some fiber in my diet and hit the gym at least…

I'm going to say something different here. Get your sleep in order. You need a pattern here. Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time. If you need too, see a doctor about a sleeping pill. It's what has begun to help me. I seem to nap a lot after I get home from the gym. I bring my Ipod to the gym and say oh,…

I never have had the 28 day cycle. So it comes when it wants. I get the cravings at the end and I just totally blew it. I was doing so well but I had such a craving for chicken fingers and french fries. I haven't had them from my favorite place in a month. I mean, this place knows my voice when I call. It's also the only…

Either a cheat day or some places have salads. You can't go wrong there. I would go with a cheat day because just today I thought I would go crazy if I didn't have a little choclate. So I had like two of the little bars and I ate it slow and savored it and it was worth it

I lost six pounds before I joined here. I joined a gym and they have circuit training, much like curves has. I did really good at curves until they closed in my area and gave me back the 35 pounds I had lost. But that gave me a full body workout in 30 minutes. I am now doing five minutes on the trreadmill and am working my…

I have always hated diet soda. But I am slowly making the change from drinking coca cola to ginger ale when I am at a restaurant. At home, I drink water, sometimes with lemons, sometimes without

You should also consult with your doctor. Surprisingly enough I have to watch my calcium. Milk was a binge food for me, even low fat milk. Ask him/her what you should be concentrating on. I watch my calories, fat, and protein. That is what my doctor has told me to watch. .

Eight years ago I was smoking over a pack a day. When I decided I wanted to quit, I just decided to simply stop buying them. I agree with whoever said, get the temptations away from you. You will want to binge. I long took away the sweets and potato chips (which is what I crave) and the chocolate. Now I have decided to go…

I have to admit, I don't know how to add friends. But feel free to add me!

I am very new but you have already inspired me! Good luck in your journey and I am sure you will get to all your goals!

Good luck and I wish you luck! I am sure you can do it!
