  • I always wished I was one of those people who don't eat when they're stressed, although I know that's unhealthy too. I eat anything sweet that I can!

  • This! I get too pinned down by numbers. I only weigh and take measurements once a month. I can generally tell by my energy level and confidence in clothing whether I'm making progress or not!

  • I know there are so many things out there to substitute for this, substitute for that... and they're usually fewer calories, it's true, but at what cost?

  • Bad days happen. Hell, bad WEEKS happen. But it doesn't last forever. Consider changing things up? You may be burning out. You could still run 5 days/week, but vary the distance each day. Or, perhaps use one day where you get in your cardio in another way? HIIT?

  • Moderation, moderation, moderation!! I had once lost 70 pounds. Then it all slowly crept back on, because of exactly what you said - I LOVED sugar, and if I tried to limit that, then I made up for it in pastas. Chocolate and fettucine put that weight back on. BUT. I've noticed that keeping baby carrots in my desk at work…

  • If you're going to lose weight and KEEP it off - make it a new lifestyle and all - then, at least for me personally, I can't just cut out the things that I LOVE.

  • I understand. I had lost 70 pounds and was so close to my goal, and the life starting throwing me curveballs. Now, I have 30 to go. At first, I beat myself up over and over... how could I let the weight back on, yada yada. The truth is, where you are now is where you have to start. Ignore the voice in your head that says…
