It's soooo hard, right? I just account for my drinks in my day's calories--which may mean I hit the gym during lunch to remind myself to pay forward. I'd die without Happy Hour from time to time! Like tonight! Oh and I drink Vodka soda with lime, or white wine.

Thank you so much! I'm so excited for the trip, but I get nervous at the idea of a completely letting loose! I've come too far for that! THANKS!!!

Hi Everyone, I leave tomorrow for the beach (I know, poor me :wink:) and I'd like to hear any advice that may help me stay focused while on my trip. I am bringing my running shoes with the hopes I might use them at least every other day. Any oher good ways to avoid temptation and keep myself motivated? I'd hate to use this…

I agree with everyone else and can totally relate! I was convinced that everyone was staring at me and avoided the weights for a long time. But having used them for a month now--proudly out in the open at my gym--I am too thrilled with the results to be a chicken. I simply buy SELF or SHAPE magazine, leaf through until I…

Congratulations! I'm so impressed!

Good luck! You'll get all the support in the world here!

Go to a specialty running store. Often times, they will watch you run and pick out shoes for you based on that. I had the same problem and went to Fleet Feet where they picked out an excellent pair for me. Pricey, but no more pain!

Congrats!! What an accomplisment!

My best guess--and this is purely through my experience--is give yourself AT LEAST a month for your body to regulate. I went off the pill a few years ago and after that first month, my weight finally started to drop. I had been dieting and exercising and having zero results (much like you) and was thrilled at how my body…

Yeah, I'm pretty confused about all that too. Sometimes I think I haven't lost any weight at all and other times I seem to have dropped 5 lbs. It's driving me crazy!

I love the motivation here! Yesterday was no good for me either--and when I weighed myself this morning, I was NOT happy. It would be easy just to let the whole week go, but I've been inspired to keep going! Thanks!

No, it was Trader Joe's--liquidy. Although you've given me a good idea to try and make the same thing at home (how hard could it be?) Thanks!

Random question (and I feel like an idiot asking it). If I eat a variety of vegetable soup (I'm thinking of the butternut squash I had for lunch...) does it count as a serving of vegetables? I'm wondering for nutrition more than calories..

I just wanted to say that I'm fairly new to this site, but I find everyone's comments, suggestions and encouragement amazing. Thank you for helping me stay focused! It's been a tremendous help! Good luck to you all!

I'm eating sensibly, and have been for the past 3 weeks. I'm really happy with my food choices--mostly lean meats, whole grains and fruit and veg, HOWEVER, I am really hungry all the time. I'm training for a half marathon--I've done these before, so the exerience isn't new. I'm dilligently recording my training along with…

Also, remember to celebrate your successes--however small. Last night while watching Food Network (it gets me every time!), I started craving the foods I was watching Bobby Flay eat. My usual thinking pattern (oh, I deserve that...I'll eat better tomorrow...etc) started, but I changed the chanel and did NOT give in. It was…
