Stevie or honey. Honey has a caloric intake but a lot of health benefits

I agree with having smaller goals to start with because they are more realistic and you can accomplish them sooner which in turn will you make you feel better and you will challenge yourself to try harder.

The more you exercise, the better you will feel about everything! I have been exercising everyday for almost three weeks and I have so much energy that sometimes I can't go to sleep. It has almost become an addiction. Congrats and keep it up! You will see a diference sooner than you think. For weeks, I've wanted to try…

Hello everyone..... I am 44 and desire to lose at least 100 pounds. I am setting my goals in small increments so it won't look or feel so bad to me. I have a very long journey ahead of me so please feel free to add me as your pal so that we can encourage each other during the process.

Thanks lots of exercise and portion control and not denying myself a chance to live a little and always get back on track even if it takes days or weeks to get there. It has not been easy probably the second hardest thing I have done in my life...U can do this! [/quote] YES I CAN!!!!!!!! I want to do it. I have to do it. I…

Thanks Wanda. I wouldn't let a Twix get to you like that. Plan for a little treat every day and tell yourself you'll stick to only the planned treat. when it comes time where you feel like you could gnaw off your own arm for junk food remind yourself that you can wait for tomorrow's treat and then give yourself a treat…

:grumble: Okaaay, count me in to :-(. (in a sad voice) Good or bad, I will spill the beans, but I don't have a particular weigh in day. I weigh myself everyday but I will begin to use Fridays as my weigh in day because that is considered my Sunday. So I will begin my week on Saturday knowing what it is I have to do to push…

I drive for a living so when I can I stretch my legs, do push ups using the hand rails, walk up and down the stair, walk around the vehicle and now that I know about ab vacs, they will be added to my list of things to do

You can do some cottage cheese topped with granola and drizzled with honey You can oven or stove cook some bacon and then cut some fresh veggies like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes and carrots, saute' them in olive oil, sprinkle some Mrs Dash and serve How about some oatmeal with fresh fruit...blueberries, apples, raisins…

Ten minutes is beter than no minutes. My problem moreso is motiviation. My family is familiar with my lifestyle change but my husband comes in here from work with pizzas and ribs and crap, my brother eats sweets all day and all I can do is shake my head, but as far as consistency.....true, true, very true. As long as you…

I actually don't mind cutting and prepping my food. I count that as a part of my excercise regimine...standing/food prep. But generally what I do is I cook on my off day for the week and then when I want to eat a salad I'll make the salad the day I want to eat it. I was eating them everyday and when I say they are…

I started my baby steps with eliminating foods I knew were no good for me. I sit down for a living and drinking a 20oz pepsi was not the best thing for me, so the soda was the first thing to go. Then I read a book and it talked about how much sugar a person ingested in a day and I noticed that I was consuming waaaaaaay…

10/14 - 10/15 - 10/16 - 10/17 - 40 minutes of water walking / calisthenics 10/18 - 10/19 - 10/20 -

Hello everyone, I think this group will work for me! I have been challenging myself to do more physical activities and like some of you, if I have to report it, I would be more apt to actually do it.

Personally Kathy, I don't think you have far to go and you have done a good job all by yourself and believe me when I tell you those chocolates are something else aren't they, I ate a Twix yesterday and felt so ashamed :-(

Michelle honey, I commend you on losing the seventy pounds! I only wish I could say that (but with time it will come). You shouldn't worry about the few you have gained backed because weight fluctuates and you may look up tomorrow and it could be gone. You are young and have two small children to inspire you and keep you…

Hi my name is Wanda and I live in Chicago. I am forty-four yrs old and have decided that its time to make a change in every aspect of my life. I have decided to challenge myself to do things that I have been afraid to do, to complete things that I have already started and to develop a closer relationship with God because…

I also prepare my meals for the week,. I clean and cook on my first off day and try to relax on the next. This week I have shrimp stirfry on my mind with some wild rice and maybe a spinach salad or some baked fish. Any suggestions towards tweaking this menu?

Between 5-8 glasses a day. Most times I drink Alkaline water because it tastes better and goes down a lot smoother, but when I am out of it (like now), I drink plain water with lemon juice otherwise I won't drink any.

:smile: Just curious to know if its any kind of peppers that you don't like or just the green ones? As far as your grocery list goes, to me it looks fine, but here are a few suggestions that I would make............. Instead of Splenda, try Stevia. Its all natural and has no side effects just make sure you buy the one…

Good for you! That was temptation knocking at your door and you did a good job by not answering.

Hi everyone, I am not a mother, but this auntie needs some support and encouragement as well. I am on a complete lifestyle change and losing some weight is one of my priorities. I would love to lose at least ninety pounds. I recently weight 303 and never have I weighed that much. Currently I am at 283.6 and counting. So if…
