Swap that tempting jar for something that is not going to set you back - Bell Plantation makes a powdered peanut butter, that comes in two flavors. Regular peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter. You will be surprised at how good it really is - you just mix it with water and you have creamy peanut butter. 2 TBSP is only…

I do not give myself cheat days. If there is something that I am craving - I will typically find a recipe that is a lower calorie/lower fat than the original. I've made amazing chocolate cake with that has only 80 calories per slice. Incredible brownies that hold only 70 calories (my family loves them). If I want something…

I let my food diary and my excercise diary do the calculating for me. In a nutshell - you need to burn more than you consume. This has been successful for me: 4 x week I go to the gym - 30 minutes on the eliptical at my target heart rate, 30 minutes weights, 10 minutes ab work Never, ever, ever do I eat more than 1200…

I am always impressed with how our body responds to eating right and moving right! You look fabulous and I'm proud FOR you! GREAT JOB!!!!!

I am 43 - 5'5" - and started at 205 pounds - and was in a 16. At the beginning, I really had no idea what my goal 'could' be. I had been so unsucessful that the thought of dreaming of a goal brought on a ton of fear in me. I met with a dietician - I wanted to be healthy (which, I wasn't). I wanted my body fat lowered,…

I used to binge myself. Although the calling/desire/temptation comes creeping in - I prepare myself for it. I journal my thoughts/hopes/fears and goals each and every day. I wake up and re-evaluate my determination. I, in a way - start each day with a 'pep talk' from me! I know my strengths, I know my weaknesses. Most…

There are sweets you can enjoy, without destroying your plan. There are frozen fudge bars that have only 40 calories! My all time favorite afternoon treat - I have one sugar free werthers caramel coffee hard candy - with a cup of decaf coffee that has 1 TBSP of sugar free vanilla caramel creamer. This gives you a sweet…

Congratulations! In my first month, I lost 16 pounds... You lose a bit faster to begin with, when you have more to lose. To begin with, I was averaging 2.7 - 2.9 lb loss each week, and couldn't believe it. Now, I'm more like 1.4 or 1.6 lb per week... Keep up the great work!

My journey began on July 25th - only 17 weeks ago. When I got on that scale and saw 205 - I cried.... I had no idea where to turn, as I truly felt I KNEW how to lose weight - although obviously, I didn't. I sat at a 10hr a day, very stressful job, ran home to run 4 kids around (also sitting in the car) and knew that I had…

I've just discovered PB2 - greatest thing for me - ever. I've missed peanut butter like crazy - but the calories/fat would just add too much to my day. 2 TBSP of this powdered peanut butter, mixed with 2 tsp of water only holds 45 calories and 1g fat. And... it comes in chocolate too! Sometimes I'll add 2 tsp to my…
