Same I had a lot of success with this app in the past and now I’m Back! Best of wishes on your journey!

Hi Linda! Sugar is definitely something that releases the happy hormones in our brains. Try replacing sugar with Monkfruit sweetener or even honey. Baby steps best of luck!

I'm doing one of there newer programs it's called country heat. It's very low impact. Try it out!

Going from 50% body fat to 35%. Progress!

I am on day 8 and Have lost 10 pounds I love it and agree with you about making it sustainable by having a smoothie a couple times a day with 1 meal!

PRoud to be called you friend! you did an awesome job. Congrats girl!

^^^^ This^^^ :)

I suggest Watching him cook and put his recipes into the recipe builder, so you have some idea of what you are about to put in your body. Then only eat a small amount of it and fill the rest of you plate with veggies. I have made the excuse "I dont have control over the food in the home" But since your hubby isnt going…

I agree with this to, no finish line!

This is me! everything he just said is me! except for the cracking the emotional connection to food. haven't done that yet. Plus the Minute I stop counting calories I wake up and I have put back on 20 pounds I just lost. We all know it comes on a whole lot faster then it comes off. I am trying now to focus on true hunger…

Awesome job!!! That kind of the aha moment I had today I hope it will be my last time to start this journey as well. congrats again!

You Look amazing! and you are a true inspiration!

I love your stories even if I am to young to get the references lol! I wish I had read this post earlier I let the rain slow me down for the second day in a row!

I have been eating Paleo style for the last week and have lost 4 pounds. I had a cheat day yesterday and still manage to loose, I think I will be low carbing it for a while!

I needed that! I told a friend earlier this week that I would at the end of September, but now I have been so scared just thinking about it. Thanks for sharing!

No its not unhealthy, they also do try and push a bunch of supplements carb blockers and junk like that. My sister in law did it before her wedding and lost weight. but I think she gained some back after she got off there supplements and such.

I agree! If I buy a family size bag of potato chips it will be gone in less than 48 hours tops. Thus I don't buy the big bag if I want some I can get a small bag at the check out. Cook your dinner take your healthy portion put the rest away in a container in the back of the fridge. If you are digging through the fridge…

I too struggle with the words clean and processed. But I am on day 5 of my own challenge, I cut out grains and dairy (paleo esque) just to see if I could do it (since I am could live on mac n cheese), and what the results would be, I have tried eating stuff like poptarts and snickers and staying under my calorie goal, I…

How many calories does that burn?? lol

I'll bite What is it? would rather not have to google it. ;0

Had no idea "challenges" like this existed! crazy

All of that is so true but it is the approach, remind her that she is loved and beautiful at ANY SIZE, but its for her health that she needs to loose the weight. That is the approach my dad always took and I do not have any emotional scars cause of him, my mother was like the above poster and I grew feeling like she didn't…

The fact that it is a cycle for her is interesting to me. I would also suggest a therapist to see why she is turning to food is there a food addiction, self esteem issues? There are a number of things that make people seek comfort in food, problem is once you get attached to food like that its hard to break it at least for…

Everyone at work kept talking about the Arby's chicken salad sandwich, sounds good but it packs 840 calories!!! glad I checked before I got it.

i would like back in for june! May did not go so well this challenge helps me stay focused. Thanks for all you do.

IDK Even when I stay within my caloric goal while eating junk like pizza and McDonalds I notice it makes me stall. Not gain but not loose either . I think for some people what you eat does count.

You go girl! Keep it up. I love the profile pic too

Well I do not do hunger pains! If I feel the hunger in my stomach I ate. lol Next time it happens try eating something with more fiber, something that fills the tummy more.

I have the same problem! I love breakfast but if I eat the wrong things in triggers me to eat more. I find eating breakfast later helps, But it is also what you eat, for breakfast I usually do a protein a carb and a fruit that leaves me feeling satisfied. And just because you feel the desire to eat doesn't mean you are…

It is possible! the success stories prove that to me everyday. But if you keep looking at that huge number you will get discouraged so break it up set small goals, change your life not just your weight. I have at least that to loos myself but its not gonna happen tomorrow so just take one day at a time. Almost everyone on…
