  • I totally agree with you! I hate the word exercise which is why I could never commit to anything before now. I joined my local YMCA and they all sorts of classes you can try. I tried kickboxing and afterwards, I was so sore for a week I never went back. So I recently tried Zumba and fell in love and want to keep doing it!!…

  • Oh my goodness...thank you guys so much!! I love all your ideas...and seriously I just about cried at the thought that I have more ideas I can actually use. You can read online or in magazines about ways to curb temptation, but it NEVER works. They aren't easy and I ALWAYS feel deprived. So if I want something, I eat it,…

  • I have this issue too...something I have tried recently and it works fantastic...is the day before I start, I get bloaty and I can feel the water gain, so I take a diurex (water pill for this issue) and drink A LOT of water when I take it and throughout the week. It keeps the water weight gain to a minimum ( this time I…

  • I am exactly the same as you! In the past I would have been ok with the fact I have lost and it would have slowed me down. But after I put on my jeans and had this SAME feeling, I am pushing harder to do it because I want it so bad!! Great job on your success and as my husband keeps telling me..KEEP IT UP :) :)!!

  • Thank you guys so much. Another added note, I do not drink anything but water (I am lactose intolerant :( so I take calcium and get calcium from other sources). I try to drink my full 8+ glasses a day. I eat wheat pastas and breads and I am trying to incorporate a lot of fruits and veggies. I guess my thing, is that I feel…

  • Another thing I learned from the smoking commercials (no I do NOT smoke lol) but ...when you start feeling bored like you want to grab something to munch on...chew a piece of sugar free tasty gum :) I started doing that, and between the water, like someone else mentioned, and gum chewing, it curbs my boredom eating craving…

  • I think it could count if it is above and beyond what you normally do. Like last night for me, I DEEP cleaned for 4.5 hours and didn't give myself time to work out. I counted that because I cleaned and moved things, and have 4 large baskets/bags for goodwill! That was tough and I was def sweating by the time I was done! Do…
