I find that if/when I eat crap food, I'm still so hungry~it just doesn't last as long. I think it's because there are so few nutrients that the brain sends hunger signals for "more". This made it harder to stay inside my calorie goal. Eating "clean" has absolutely NO ill effects~whereas crap food has a ton; infact, the…

SUCCESS!! Looks like you've had some really good weeks!! And, I hope you understand this, even the environment in your photo looks better~maybe it's just been a good thing all the way around? :smile: :smile: Isn't that what this is all about?? Keep on keeping on!!!

Flush it all out with a ton of lemon water! You'll probably be feeling better by tomorrow after that. I don't have cheat days for this reason~ it totally messes me up mentally. I do better with using my calories in certain ways for special reasons (a dinner out with friends, etc) You're young so you should recover quickly…

If you're only going over 10-100 calories, you can fix that by getting out for a brisk walk! It's very possible to burn 100 calories/10 minutes! So, a 30 min walk will burn 300 calories. Or go up and down stairs for 15 min, or jump rope for just 10! You'll be surprised by how fast you can burn calories with an extra…

Have you ever looked into "Couch to 5K"? There's a phone app for it too! Lot's of folks have found it successful, including close friends. I ran my first triathlon working with the "Chi Running" videos on YouTube~I still had weight to lose, so I used this to avoid injury. Blessings!

WATER WATER WATER!!!! You should be drinking 1ounce/per 1 lb of body weight. Most of us don't drink enough water. I flavor mine with a hint of fruit juice, or propel flavor packets. Citrus fruits will help too; Grapefruit, clementines.. SUGAR (Carbs and processed foods) will make you bloat, so flood yourself. Can you get…

HaHa! Every mom needs a daughter like you.:smile: GO WAA1119- Many blessings!! Hang in there!

Sweet Mama; I hear you!! But listen to me, PLEASE. I'm a mom of 4 (2 boys, 2 girls) and I totally GET what you're saying, but I'm going to give you a hard word: The best thing you can do for your daughter is to simply BE an honest representation of what you want HER to be!!! (if I could underline, bold, italics that…

Way to go Mama!! You and I are built a lot the same~I looked at your photos and said, "that could be me!". You look amazing; very healthy and strong! I started fitness training the same time I started weight loss~ and finished my first tri on May 20!! You can do it!!! And you'll be SO proud of yourself. I had not met my…

WOW! That's fanTASTic! Good job, Mama!

I know how you feel!! And I cried too~ but you need to realize your body is designed to work a certain way. Fast results will NOT be permanent results. And you're only in 1 week!!! Don't be so hard on yourself. 1) Make sure you're weighing in on the SAME scale, and at the SAME time of day (ex: at the gym, early morning).…

Yep-you're right! YOU've got to OWN it for yourself. This is crucial~ and it's really a lesson for your whole life, not just fitness. Your work, your education~any where you are wanting to succeed. You've got to own it for yourself. And, if your reasons work for you, they're good enough. I LOVE those "AHA" moments~those…

You're looking like a mean machine~Summer 2012 is gonna be a different world for you! Congratulations on all your hard work~now don't blow it! =)

I use Herbalife Shakes (and all the values are listed on this site~very convenient to post!) If you're using Shakes as a meal replacement, and working out too, you'll need more calories I would guess. Most folks go with meal replacements with weight-loss only. I understand you're wanting to get some kind of anchor for…

Hey Hon! Hang in there! =) Just a few thoughts for you; 1) Several years ago, I picked up happy meals for my kids. I put them on top of the fridge, and forgot about them!! 1 MONTH later, I cleaned the top of the fridge and there they were~and let me tell you, besides a "slight" molding on the bread, and a little shrivling…
