Where to start, you ask? IT STARTS WITH YOU!!! You have to decide when you want to seriously make a change! For me, I had to split my pants to make the committment to make a change. I had to put the excuses aside and start logging everything and start substituting the overindulgences of tons of snacks with fruits,…

If you can't control what you are putting into your body then you don't want to see a change badly enough yet. Work on your mindset. Take it one day at a time. Can't should not be in your vocabulary - "Yes, you CAN". Possibly drink a glass of water before every meal to help fill you up. Pre-portion an amount of something…

I always go for the salad and protein and veggies to fill up on first and just take a couple small samplings of the higher calorie/carb side dishes

Drinking more water

I've been on for years! Congratulations on your new beginning. Always a pleasure to support and motivate you ladies.

Maybe try a nice cup of hot tea! I like sleepy time tea "Another short-term randomized control trial of 40 healthy adults, published in 2013, found that those who drank a sleep tea daily (with standardized extracts of valerian root and passionflower) for one week reported better sleep quality than those who did not drink…

Welcome and Congratulations for being here.

Make it a great month ladies, but start with each new day. You've got this!

I'm greek. Love spinach. Never thought to stuff my sweet potato. Sounds delish.

A lot of times besides the amount of food binged, it is sodium which leads to bloating and retention. Hydrate, keep moving, make healthy choices and give it a few days before hopping back on the scale.

Yes, I try to stay clear of pre-packaged foods and ever since I started taking my new all natural supplements of a Sunrise, Nitro and Sunset vitamin, I have noticed my cravings have drastically decreased, I have so much more energy and I feel so much better.

Good idea. I did the allergy test too. Since I started giving an all natural supplement to my daughter that is safe for children, it gives her the multi vitamins combined with the fish oil together and so many more benefits needed for her daily regimen. I have definitely seen improvements in her health. It would be worth…

Not sure but take it one day at a time I know ever since I started taking my new all natural supplements, I have noticed my cravings have drastically decreased, I am getting all the nutrients I might be lacking and I feel much better.

Good going. Tracking and accountability is so helpful. You’re absolutely correct and ever since I started taking my new all natural supplements, I have noticed my cravings have drastically decreased and I feel much better.

I don't know of the shots, but ever since I started taking my new all natural supplements that include a Sunrise morning supplement, nitro and Sunset supplement , I have noticed my cravings have drastically decreased and I feel much better!

Yes, great goals. Happy to help. Ever since I started taking my new all natural supplements, I have noticed my cravings have drastically decreased, I have so much energy & I feel much better.

You’re absolutely correct. Ever since I started taking my new all natural supplements, I have noticed my cravings have drastically decreased and I feel much better. :)

Get involved in something to keep your mind off of it! Hydrate & maybe leave yourself post it notes or pictures hanging where you would run to. In the cubbard, pantry etc. saying something like....Do I really need that, Nope - don't do it, Get busy. You are in control of you. You can do it. I used to post a motivational…

You might not be eating a substantial well rounded dinner to keep you full. I usually sip on a nice hot cup of tea and read a magazine or watch a show. Maybe you might want to exercise at that time since the kids are down even if it's just an extra session of stretching and floor exercises to get you into the relaxed mode.…

Your diary isn't open to give any advice. With 45 minutes a day activity, I would check your diet. Possibly check your accuracy on what you are eating vs. what you are logging! It's calories in vs. calories out. Up your physical activity or mix it up and you should with both start to see weight loss slowly and steady which…

You are beautiful and it starts from within. You've had a lot going on but appear to have your head on your shoulder. Feel free to add. I will be happy to motivate and encourage you. :)

1861 days active and logged just about every one of them. Will send a friend request.

Not really, but when I'm in the pool I love just going in the deep end and treading water. I feel it working big time but refreshing and easy on the joints.

Go to exercise tab, then select exercises from below tab and toggle down to cross fit option.

I feel for ya. I was running from getting caught in the rain and found out after going to the doctor I had a baker cyst behind the knee from trauma from the uneven wet sandy ground. I went from 3 workouts a day: morning aerobics, afternoon walks & p.m. strength training to anti-inflammatory (dr. suggested aleve twice a…

Luckily you found MFP and if you log everything honestly and consistently and keep moving physically, the scale will move in the right direction for you. All the best.

You've come a long way. If this makes you feel great and it is working for you; that is awesome. You look great :)

Lost alot. Happy to motivate or support. On every day for over 5 years and diary open to friends. Logs everything~good or bad o:)

Since you are looking to be 'area specific', you may have better luck clicking on the community tab, find members tab and adding your zip code and miles of travel within your area that you live to search for local friends and then messaging them or adding them as a friend.
