  • Any Fast food hamburgers! They are no good and not worth the heavy feeling in the gut.
  • It won't hurt to try it out. Maybe replace the meat you would use in a dish with diced potatoes, or a veggie that absorbs the flavor, like squash, zucchini or beans. My mom wasn't a vegetarian, but when she didn't have ground beef or chicken, she would get creative. She makes the best mashed potatoes tacos and veggie rice.
  • Its when people that you are not as close to or haven't seen in a very long time that notice. I've has more friends make comments than my own mother, but I see her looking at me or my waist. People will notice. Keep it up!
  • Don't give up! My husband had a difficult time when I started because I didn't spend as much time with him...I was working out every night. Maybe you can try to include him into your goals? Maybe you can have a date night to celebrate a mini goal of yours, like dinner, or just desert, take the family on a picnic or a…
  • Great job!!! Parties are the hardest and everyone eats everything in site. But just a little taste or nothing at all will pay off!
  • I sometimes I guess and log it under quick calories, or I pick apart the food I ate to log it in. It's a hassle.
  • I use to order Wendy's grilled cesar salad, but they changed their salads. Now they're higher in cals. I now pre-check how many calories under the food diary if I have to eat fast food, so there are no surprises when you enter it. But this happened to me today at breakfast, I had a denver omlete and later found out it was…
  • I have been doing the shred since the end of April and I've seen more of a difference in inches than wieght. I sometimes double up on the the Shred and do 2 levels = 40 mins. I'll switch it up, depending on how I'm feeling. I'll do level 1 and 2 or Level 3 with walking a fast pace about 2 miles. I'm in a wedding in August,…
  • Pets do help to get you out of bad mood. I ended up doing Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred, level 1 and 2, which made me feel better. I need to look into getting a punching bag! I don't usually write blogs, but I have to admit that it helped and I didn't give into "bad food." Thanks everyone for the support!
  • Maybe start by setting smaller goals and work your way up to a bigger goal. I started doing Julianna Micheals videos. I started with the 30 day shred (20min), then later I bought her 40 min videos. Just do what you can to start and push yourself as you go. Once you start, you'll feel better.

  • I have the same problem, but now I picked a day that I weigh myself once a week, in the morning (Wed.). I was weighing myself daily a couple of months ago and it will only start to discourge you. I have to admitt sometimes I will wiegh myself 2x a wk, but it's because I might have cheated on my diet, and i start to freak…
  • I have this similar problem, everyone eats chocolate in my house. I think it helps to eat a little protein to stop you from diving into the bad. Try 1 hard boiled egg with a pinch of salt & pepper, maybe with 1 cracker or a slice of light cheese.
