Hey! I totally feel you! It is def a challenge! I try to do my workout early in the morning. That way it is out of the way! You can do it! I gained seven pounds despite attempting to eat right and excercise, and now working on taking it off and them some! Its a challenge to say the least! Stick with it though!

Hey girl! I'm right there with ya! I'm starting up again too! My motivation is me. I deserve to be happy. I deserve to look in the mirror and not feel disgusted! I deserve to have the best body I can. I have to remeber that nothing tastes as good as thin feels and that this is my time. My motivation is a better me.

I'm sooooo in! I have been a lot better since I have joined this challenge a couple of month ago, but I need reinforcement now more than ever. NO EATING AFTER DINNER!

Hey! I totally feel your pain! I used to do exactly the same thing. Here are some things I started doing to help. 1. I always remember nothing tastes as good as thin, and healthy, for that matter feels. I used to feel like total and utter crap after I finished overeating. Eating solved nothing- in fact it just made me want…

good luck! I have a party tomorrow night and was just thinking the same thing! I know we can do it! Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!

Good for you! I know you can do it! Good luck with everything!

Good luck on your journey! I hope you can start your family soon!

Good for you! Way to get back in it after all that frustration!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Especially when I cook all the meals I eat. I feel like I have eaten SOOOOO MUCH, almost to the point where I start second guessing myself and feeling guilty. But, I have logged everything, even if I slip up and have a pinch or bite of something while cooking! Good luck with your goals!

I try to measure every three weeks, so I will measure next week. And yes, I do have a HRM and I do every work out with it and only log what it tells me! Thank you all for your advice.

The beginning my my post got cut off, it is supposed to say that I was lucky enough to go on vacation for two weeks.

So I have been on vacation for two weeks! Until today, everything was going so well. I was eating perfectly (better than I do at home somehow), excercising, and feeling great..and not snacking...but today somehow I slipped up. I let snack win. No, I didn't go over my calorie goal so I suppose that is a minor victory ( I…

You go girl! You look sooooo great!

You can do this! I kno it seems daunting and to be honest there will be days that you just flat put fail but that's not what determines sucess! Sucess comes from looking failure in the face and getting back up again! You mist remember why you want to do this and and how good you will feel once you accomplish your goals!…

I hope everything works out! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

you go girl! way to let nothing deter you!

Every is doing great! Gtrigg I have been trying to get my sodium under control, but some days it just gets the best of me! At least I am aware the importance of it now, thanks to you! I have lost 4.5 pounds so far and just completed week one of Phase One! One more week to go! Hopefully I can drop another 2 pounds, and I…

I actually fell asleep while eating dinner...so unlike me. I guess my body was just super tired and I was super relaxed from the yoga class I had just finished. Snacks have not got the best of me yet, but I am starting to feel myself get slack about measuring and picking. I just need to stay strong (and I don;t want to…

Hey! It has been a tough week. I stayed with in my calorie range everyday and did some mad excercising, but the scale told me I only lost one half pound. Still, a loss is a loss. I am thinking of trying one of the "cheat" meal ideas to shake up my metabolism. Does anyone have any advice? I don't want to over do it. Usually…

you are an inspiration. get it girl!

I used to try and follow a strictly low carb diet, but I excercise way too much for that. I now do a no starch meal plan. My body does not do well with starches like bread, potatos, rice, etc. Basically I eat a ton of veggies, cheeses, lean proteins, nuts, legumes, and small amounts of fruits (they have a lot of carbs and…

It really does get better! My mom went out and bought the gel shorts and other stuff to help, but by the time she got it, she had spun enough times that it didn't really bother her anymore. You do have to go like 3x for a week before you will start to feel the relief though! I hope that helps a bit! It really does get…

You can do this. Just remember that nothing tastes as good as accomplishing your goals feels. You have it in you and everyone on this site is here to support you through the good and bad. please let me know anything I can do to help!

Rosemary- I too am so inspired by you! I can only imagine. All my friends bring junk with them wherever they go and it took me a long time to learn to say no. I almost broke down yesterday. My mind was tricking me. I was like "hmmmm I need a drink of water", when I knew I was not even thirsty, and if I was there are water…

I am so in! If I hit 20 by labor day, I would be elated!

Hope everyone is doing well1 I don't know if this will help anyone, but I used to not eat my excercise calories. Now that I do, I find it much easier to control my snacking. That might just be me though. So far snacks haven;t gotten the best of me once. Nikki:9 Snacks:0

Hi! I start college in the fall and I too am determined to lose 20 pounds!

Cool! I did not know anyone had joined us! Sorry for the delay...welcome! I hope everyone is doing well with the South Beach diet/ and just the general low carb lifestyle! My body does well with low carbs and I lost 4 pounds last week doing SB. Hopefully the combination of starting to eat my excercise calories and resuming…

Get it girl! I have been working hard. I am hoping that eating a mjority of my excercise calories will bring me out of starvation mode and turn me into a fat burning machine. I only weight once a week, but making posts keeps me focused. My goal until Tuesday is to keep eating back 80% of my calories burned and to stop…
