Trina - instead of cream you could try a vanilla almond or soy milk in your coffee, you'd probably need less sugar too since it'd be a little sweeter. Just a thought I had, never tried it myself :)

Good tips, moody. I need to make myself log on the weekends, that will put things into perspective for me! When you say fast for 24 hours do you mean not eat at all or do you do some sort of cleanse?

One of my fave lunch/dinner options is turkey burgers, side of green veggie or side salad and homemade sweet potato fries. Lunch you can make a big salad and include lots of veggies, a lean protein, with a greek yogurt on the side. I make my own salad dressing by combing olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Simple…

I try to get in 4 servings of veggies and 1-2 servings of fruit a day. Then I just try to keep the rest of my calories coming from lean proteins, whole grains (oatmeal, brown rice), nuts/nut butters and beans. Key word for me is TRY haha! I log my food and try to stick to under 1650 cals and try to get some sort of…

Woo - thanks!!

Awesome! Thank you :)

When I am feeling insecure naked in front of my boyfriend I remind myself of this part of Eat, Pray, Love (not that I want to go buy bigger jeans, but you get the idea!) Liz: I’m in love. I’m having a relationship with my pizza. You look like you’re breaking up with your pizza. What’s the matter? Sofi: I can’t. Liz: What…

I wrote my own post earlier today about how easily my motivation comes and goes! So frustrating, isn't it? Good luck!

Thanks ladies. It really is a mental game and positive tihnking and persistance is a must. I love the idea of considering it a 'committment' to yourself in terms of a relationship and not cheating. I am definitely going to use that!

haha, it worked for me a while ago so I figured go back to something tried and true!

I just started SB Phase 1 today! I had great success with SB about 4 years ago and enjoyed the healthy lifestyle change that I made at that point. I am excited to get back to it but remember how challenging phase one can be.

Both of your suggestions sound awesome! It is so versatile - bfast, lunch and dinner :) I've seen some recipes where it is made sweeter with fruit like an oatmeal too!

Thanks! Do you follow a certain % of carb/fat/protein while training?
