Lower your calorie intake... eliminate your cheat day. If you are serious about hating your body/weight and wanting to change, you'll make the sacrifice.. remember this is a lifestyle change.. long term, not immediate gratification. It's all babysteps. 55 pounds is a HUGE accomplishment. Drink lots of water, I didn't look…

I cut out M-F drinking (along with exercise and careful eating) and dropped 20 pounds in 7 weeks. Alcohol is sugar. Empty calories and provide zero nutrition what so ever. I limit myself to one or two glasses of wine a weekend, count the calories and make up for it with extra exercise. I don't eat back my excercise…

I use MFP as a tool to log my food on the advice of my nutritionist... both she and my doctor insist only bodybuilders and extreme athletes should be eating back their calories, so be wary of advice.. <Many people have had a lot of success on this board, but my advice comes from medical professionals. Look at it this way.…

Now, there are people that have had success eating them back... I am…

One of many reasons I don't share with people my journey and plan. I have lost 45 pounds and when people started noticing... I simply answered. I did it the old fashion way. Hard work and eating right. I have found even the best of friends and family will sabotage efforts.

I am a firm believer in having a beverage... That said any alcohol cuts down on the way the body burns fat for a full 48 hours after consumption. I only drink on weekends - by choice and have seen a tremendous difference in my weight loss/fitness journey. I limit my comsumption and log everything.

Other reasons to drink water: While getting up and walking to the break room to refill my glass (10 times a day) I get to: Stretch my legs... Say Hi to my friends... Show off my new clothes & figure...

I used to be a soda drinker myself until a car accident took away my ability to "feel" carbonation... Yes I cannot taste any fizzy drinks... beer, champagne, seltzer, soda - so it was was a transition.. but for almost a year it's been nothing but water and I can't say that I miss the soda at all. I miss the beer. I noticed…

I don't eat my exercise calories. that is the entire point of exercising to lose weight along with eating right. I burn an average of 950 calories a day and eat my 1200 calories a day. I track my food and have been successful thus far. Down 45 pounds since August.
