Oops! I had the diary only open for friend's. It's public now. I will say... It's not a model of healthy eating lol. But I think it's what the average person takes in. I'm looking to adjust too so any comments are welcomed.

Looking back, I see that I go over protein almost every day! Yikes!

Maybe I'm wrong...but coffee creamer is the last thing I worry about. I will cut calories anywhere else but coffee creamer! How much are you using? I use just enough to change the color of my coffee and get a little flavor. I have girlfriends that like it milkshake style! Or creamer with a splash of coffee... erk! Yuck!

Egg whites and avocado on a flatout Oatmeal Greek yogurt with granola If I'm feeling really bad...then it's bacon something!

Pee, brush my teeth (morning breath is yucky), get all my workout gear on, grab a cup of coffee and my water bottle than get out the door. I'm NOT a morning person, but I wakeup at 5am to get a workout in. I have to stick the basics...anything more complicated and the SheHulk comes out of me.

Today is Day 2 of Level 1 for me! Like you, I was thinking to myself "this isn't too bad" and actually felt I could do a little more after the dvd. I'm excited to see my own results. Did you do before an after pictures?

Day 1 of the Shred and I feel amazingg!!! I can't wait for tomorrow!

You look amazing!

I'm up anywhere between 5 and 5:15 depending on what class/workout I'm doing! Anything before that and I cannot function!

Love the attitude! It's exactly the one I need to keep when I get bummed over seeing a small budge on the scale. :)

YES! The calories that you burn playing Just Dance are real! I track them in my exercise log whenever I play. I got it for my daughters (...okay maybe for me too) and we all love it! I can definitely tell I get a small cardio workout whenever I play because I build up a good sweat. Extra free calories! Yayyy!!!

I didn't feel guilty when I ordered it and ate it. I felt bloated and yucky after I ate it. I think the worst feeling now is after putting the calories into my tracker. YIKES! Hahaha... Oh well. Live and learn. Just adds another reason why I need to think twice (and probably three and four times) before I order another…

I was satisfied for like... the first five minutes lol.

I have a cheat day. It will vary depending on what's going on in my life that day. For me, I need that. I love all the bad foods in life lol...ice cream, cookies, cheesecake.... BRING IT ON! If I were to deny myself these things for weeks, months at a time... I would fail. Tons of respect to those that can go without the…

It was a crappy burger from Chili's. I haven't eaten there for years and decided to give it a shot... Now I can understand why it's been years.

Ooooh, I'm eating carbs! I love bread! I'm just lowering the amount because I find they make me sleepy. When I ate the cheeseburger I ate it open faced. The majority of what I eat is veggies. I LOVE veggies and I partner that with a lean meat like fish or chicken. I actually go over my fats because fish is so high in fat…

I cannot and will not give up the coffee!!! It's my vice that I love and you will have to pry it out of my fingers. I take mine with creamer and that's it. Enough to make it change color a little bit. My guess it's probably about two teaspoons. I don't require a lot. I used to...but I started decreasing it. I can drink it…

I have dinner melt down...ALLLLLLL THEEEE TIMMEEE!! I think it's my hardest meal to control. I drink lots of water to try and clean out all the sodium. If I have time in the evening I'll go walk my dogs so I'm at least moving around... After that, I just try and forget about it. If I dwell I'm going to be unhappy and keep…

Great idea! You look amazing! :)

Are you adding exercise too? Maybe it configures the types of foods you are eating. Does your calculate fat, carbs and proteins too?

Don't be discouraged! You're body needs time to adjust. Make sure you up your calorie intake on days that you work out. I find that I drop a few ounce on days these days where as on days I don't eat extra I don't budge on the scale.

My name is Ali. I'm 27. I'm a mother to two girls, 7 and 5. I'm prior Navy and now work full time. Finding time to work out and keep a steady diet is hard. I slacked for two years because my work demands go in the way. It wasn't until I switched jobs that I found the time to be healthy.

Everyone feels that way at some point. :) It's human! You already took the first step and decided that you wanted to get back in to it. Now it's just taking the next steps. Tracking food, exercise and finding people to motivate you! :) Look at some of the success stories. They motivate me!

...omg... more than one favorite! Mint anything! Oreo anything! White Chocolate anything! Take me to Cold Stone... It's a field day!

I eat celery or cucumbers with hummus. I tried just eating the veggies alone and it doesn't satisfy me. The hummus makes all the difference! If I can't have that then I grab an apple. Today I was bolting out the door and grabbed a Trader Joe's Trail Mix bar just in case. I hope I don't eat it since I'm already looking to…

It takes time... 3 year olds are crazyyy!!!! If she naps, you nap. The laundry, dishes... all that can be taken care of later. If her dreams are constant and she's not sleeping well then maybe you should take her to the doctor. It's important that BOTH of you get rest. :)

I'm in! SW: 150 CW: 147 GW: 130

When I need to be good I get a taco salad. No sour cream! Extra veggies!

Switch up the exercise routine! Try a new dvd, work out class, something new. That's how I broke my plateau in 2009.

I made it later in the afternoon so that I could take the morning and early afternoon to get my hair, makeup and nails done. :) I haven't picked a place to do the hair and makeup yet...I'm still shopping around for that. I'm still looking for outfits. I'm going with some girlfriends so I'll have some input. :) I'm totally…
