I would really recommend talking with your doctor and getting a referral to a nutritionist and a therapist who has experience with food issues. It really sounds like you have a lot of emotion invested in your eating which will make it hard to change without directly addressing those issues.

What I found personally is that it is kind of a waste of time to try to find a substitute for soda. Nothing really tastes like it and it is designed to be fairly addictive to your body. For me, the best thing to just think of it like it is, something very unhealthy with no positive health impact at all and just quit cold…

Pad Thai take out, chicken quesadillas, steak, mac n cheese, basically anything the SO can make so I can relax on the couch. :-)

I am amazed at the responses from people! Yay for not just talking to air anymore!! :-)

Not much water but weigh in was 164.5! Down 5 pounds since the start!

I am going to try a Pilates class Saturday morning! That will fit nicely with this challenge. I haven't done pilates before and I haven't done an actual class in years.

Down 2.5 pounds! 1/2- 169.5 1/9- 169.5 1/16- 167 1/23- 1/30- 2/6- 2/13- 2/20-

I am just starting a new leg of my journey so I am not sure what will help with that. Previous to this, I lost about 20 pounds sort of....unintentionally. We (my SO and I) worked on changing up our eating habits because we were really unhappy with the way we were eating. We were going out a ton, relying on quick, processed…

:-( With my back getting messed up this week, I don't think I can do this challenge. It is way better but walking up stairs is one of the things that starts to aggravate it. I may try out the body weight related exercises to see what I can do with that.

1/2- 169.5 1/9- 169.5 1/16- 1/23- 1/30- 2/6- 2/13- 2/20-

Also!! I forgot until I saw Leelu88's post, I have quit smoking for almost 2 months!! (47 days) After 18 years as a smoker, it has been going amazingly and I have been so excited by how much easier it was this time than some of the other times! (As evidenced by the fact that I frequently forget about it where as before I…

1--I am more appreciative of my body and its strength. I notice my muscles when I walk upstairs and can be proud that although my legs may not look like the ideal I have, they are strong as hell! 2--I am capable of consistently cooking healthy, delicious food for me and my SO without copping out and getting takeout. It…

I pre-logged! I'm not entirely sure I'll stick to everything I put in, especially lunches, as I haven't done grocery shopping for the week yet so I didn't have anything planned ahead, but as long as I remember to limit snacks and just stick to healthy, home cooked meals, I haven't had many issues around calorie overages…

Yay!! 2 sets done! 15 minutes total. I made one slight change. I changed the 40 total lunges to 20 lunges (10 per leg), 10 squats and 10 lie squats. All working the same general area but slightly different muscle groups. Hooray! I'm enjoying the challenge so far!!

2 pm. Just closing in on 48 oz.

A couple people I am close twins with!! Almost 30 (1 more month!!) 5'4 CW-169 GW-130 Married, Child-free, 2 dogs

I checked this late!!! And of all days, today is the day I have been not carrying my water bottle with me. Oops! Start chugging now and hope that I can make it!

I didn't know what this was so I went to check it out. Is it a coincidence that all the foods I live are the ones they tell me to stay away from? Also, does anyone do this with a SO? Because our recommended diets are pretty much opposite and I am not sure how to make that work.....

Please add me!! I'm ready to kick this thing into gear!
