When I reach goal weight I plan on logging either one week out of the month, or a whole month every few months just to make sure my portion sizes and such aren’t accidentally growing.

I have this problem too! I used to try and eat ahead of time so that I wouldn't be hungry - but it didn't stop me one bit. So now I don't eat much at all before I go. Maybe just a lite breakfast and lots of water. I know that I don't really have control around unlimited amounts of yummy food. Exercise before you go - that…

Nothing tastes as good as skinny (or healthy, thin, fit) looks

I would also add that if you are going to a party, try to estimate and input your calories BEFORE you go to the party. Being aware of how quickly those calories add up is a good way to deter yourself from going back for food again and again.

This is excellent!

This week I plan on doing the 30 day shred everyday but one. I've got two days down so far and feeling the burn :)

I'm 5'3" and I would love to be in the 125-130 range. I started at 160 and have made it to 138 but am just sort of stuck here!

Same here - love being motivated by others :)

Thanks for some great ideas! Time to reevaluate my priorities - I have the military ball in one month and want to look my best!

I need support too!! Having trouble being dedicated to lose those last 10 pounds.

Oh that is such a good one! I make Shepard's Pie using mashed cauliflower and ground turkey instead. Soo good :)

Haverhill MA for me :) Love New England, there are sports for every season to keep me active.

I started in January when I came home from a semester in London where I had gained about 15 pounds. Since then I've lost 17 pounds in total and have about 10 more to go to get to my goal weight. It's a struggle, but it's worth it. Slow and steady is helping me to ensure that the weight stays off this time :)

I love grapes and raspberries and blackberries as well. oh yeah and Pineapple!! That's my favorite :) It has to be fresh and it has to be ripe (golden around the bottom) other wise it can be hard and the acid burns your tongue.

I do use a heart rate monitor and I love it. It tracks exactly how many calories I burn and my heart rate. I have a polar but they are a little on the pricey side. My suggestion is to buy one on eBay. You can often times get them for way less than a sports store. I look at the different ones for sale and then research them…

Good for you! It is important to find what motivates you, and if you are noticing a difference in yourself then you are doing something right! I gained quite a bit of weight while I was away at school and when I finally weighed myself I wasn't discouraged by how much I had gained. Instead, I looked at the number and said…

Can I ask what it is you did in the past month? You look phenomenal! I was at 152 three weeks ago and now am down to 143. It's not the losing the weight part that I am having trouble with (running has helped me with that) but you looked nice and toned and that is where I would like to be in the next month or so. So if you…
