i work at a law firm and sit a lot. no magic solution, i just credit my willpower with staying on track. its very hard though! I'm lucky that i live so close to work so i walk my dog at lunch for about 20 mins. Not a lot but its something! I also said no to having a desk scanner at work so it forces me to get up and move!

i did it last year and it was really awesome.

your carb goal looks really high?

get out of retail! my stable office job is so good for healthy eating!

i just got a small instant pot and it makes perfect boiled eggs in 5 mins. high recommend

2 boiled eggs, apple with peanut butter, cheese string

ahs !!

i recommend switching it up every once in a while so your body doesn't get used to your routine. plan a hike, go on a horseback ride, bike ride, trampoline park, just something new to challenge your body with new movement :)

in my experience it takes about 20 lbs of weight loss before people notice.

ever heard of skinny b ? I mix that with yogurt and bananas for no carb (gluten free) breakfast

handful of almonds, half apple, and slices of cheese (full fat! organic)

Night time hiking! If available, I know it is here in Vancouver. Window shopping at a mall or something is good too, hours of walking!

British Columbia! west coast is the best coast :smile:

Also switching up exercises is great. Instead of your usual walk, go for a bike ride, or a jog, or climb some stairs, try a fitness class, etc.

drink tons of water, kombucha, herbal tea! they are great for detoxing and shedding the water retention weight

lots!

eating more veggies and drinking lots of water, tea

smaller portions

oh good tip kshama2001 - I didn't know that

is this a joke?

I agree with the sodium at subway! when I was eating there regularly, even just a veggie sandwich I was gaining weight. it was probably water weight though too, the bread is crazy with sodium which makes me plump!

calories burned on a machine like a treadmill are really not very accurate

kombucha! so good and 'cleansing' ;)

i do the same. my 'cheat day' is Friday where I can eat whatever I want but some morphs into a cheat weekend. I find it better if I just have cheat dinner/night on Friday then plan a hike on Saturday or something to get my mind back into healthy mode !

i think the number of calories on treadmills, etc. grossly miscalculate the calories you burn. I think it's a lot less than it says. also make sure you are weight training too!

i never stop being hungry I just learned to ignore it!

dark and mysterious on the outside, sentimental on the inside

sounds like you want to be skinny, not healthy

I really love the couch to 5k app ! I'm on week 7 and it is really awesome, gradually gets you to run more and more, I'm doing 25 minutes of jogging - NEVER though I would be able to do that!

once a week on Fridays! it's not really a cheat day though it's a cheat item on that day so maybe a can of coke or a chocolate bar or something
