Go girl go! I've been there and still struggle from time to time. but I've learn to think about that cheat and what will I have to do to get rid of it. It helps me. different things work for different people. I have over the years cut back on cheat things. I used to buy a cake. now if I want a piece of cake I buy 1 piece.…

I find going to the gym helps. I feel better in so many ways. I know have work days just like that. We have a coworker off sick so I am picking up her part of the job. Or I find something to do outside like go for a walk in the woods, which my dad loved to do. He has past away. I feel closest to him in the woods. :) Yes…

I've used a measuring cup after it is cooked. Put the rest in the frig for later. Or I eat what I want it is a vegetable and they are good for you.

I started with 5 lb weights. when it started getting easy I added more reps.

I use it in my honey lime chicken kabob's. It is great.

Thanks for sharing!

Sounds wonderful!

Feel free to add me! I am working at a life style change, I work at this every day. Well most days. Some days are better than others. I am making more of them better and better choices.

I am boring but it is all water for me. :) some of the thing you all are drinking sounds good.

This is how I feel too! I want to eat real food and lose and it is happening slowly for me. I try to eat better all the time. I keep making small changes to gain the better me. I am due to have knee surgery soon but I am on here every day and comment on all my friends that post every day. Add me if you want. :) Good Luck!

I do all my food prep on weekends. I make salads and cut up fruit. I cook some meats ahead. Like I roasted a pork loin in a crock pot and then I froze it into 3 packages and this weekend I am not feeling that great so I pulled one out. I can put a little bbq with or just have it warmed up with frozen veggies. Last week I…

That is a great start. Awesome! I know I don't like push up's or squats and I am up to 30 push up's and 20 squats.

I use fruit, cheese, single granola bars, sometimes the 100 cal puddings, turkey jerky, fresh cut up veggies. This week I picked Grape fruit, Cuties oranges, tomato's.

I would ask for help at your gym. The way I look at it is any thing you do as far as exercise will help you burn cals. Strenght training is a good way to loose fat and gain muscle. Cardio helps burn cals fast and is good for your heart, lungs. So you can mix up the kinds of things you may like to do. Eat less calories then…

I watch the foods that are premade for sodium content if it is over 240 I don't buy. I've learn to make a lot of my own foods and I don't add sodium to them even if they ask for it. Now if you bake you do need to have the sodium if they call for it. Water will help to flush it but not eating it is the best way to cut it. 8…

Change can be tough sometimes.j Sounds like some stress, because of move. (Just Guessing) so maybe focus on you, yourself. Try things that make you feel good that is not food. go for a walk try to have better things to eat that you like. These are just some ideas. I have to tell myself junk food is not my friend, and that…

sounds great I will try this. Thank you!

I put my potatoes and veggies right in with meat, I have my husband add them at noon and we eat about 5 pm. with lots of liquid. I don't wrap them at all. I will add onion, carrots, celery. but you can add what you like. When I roast chicken in the crock pot I save some of the juice to put over the meat later to help the…

I love mine also

I have to watch my cholesterol and the cardio doc said only 3 eggs a week. So I've had to find other things to eat. turkey sausage, greek yogurt, fruits, veggies, low fat cheeses. Whole grain cereals. Oh watch animal fats, I cut them all as much as possible lean meats or chicken and fish.. Nuts have healthy fats, I use…

This is a great way to do it. I've been on here a yr and I've lost 10 lbs not great but I am happy with this because before this I wasn't doing it on my own. It support is pretty great. Good luck.

One of the hardest things to remember is to try every day. Do 1% better today than yesterday and don't beat yourself up for a bad food or for not exercising. Just keep trying. You'll feel much better also with healthy choices. Good Luck!

I've been eating crust less spinach quiche. I've added hot pepper cheese to it and liquid smoke for more flavor.

I use limes and lemon. You could use tea, or drink coffee if you like those.

Look at this as a life change. One thing I was told when I started was it didn't happen over night and it won't come off over night. Allow yourself a tiny cheat every day so you don't feel like you have to go with out. I have found that really important for me. I am sorry people were so mean to you at your mom's birthday…

This is the first time I've seen this thread but I am finding it interesting. :) Shereen from Michigan

I agree with many of the comments. but How you feel about you is most important. I can understand you being upset also because it takes a lot of work to for some of us to get and stay fit. Enjoy the you that you have now. Put the bad comments a side. Have a great day!

Low sodium soy sauce, lime juice, onion powder, ginger. I marinade the salmon for 30 minutes and grill, or pan fry with olive oil, or bake with some of the sauce.

good info in here
