My goal is 20 lbs! Add me, anyone, if you want!

Because I know at night before I go to bed, I'll be regretting not going to the gym. You'll never regret getting in your exercise!

buddies!

If your gym has complimentary aerobics classes, you should absolutely check them out. Taking one or two a week is a great way to mix up your routine, and it can be a lot of fun.

current one! that looks like so much fun

Usually if I get hungry I just drink from my water bottle to avoid snacking. Otherwise, get yourself out of the house or something, away from the food. Go for a walk. Also, yes, you CAN control your urge to snack. Don't accept it as a fact that you just can't help it, you're the one making the decision to pick up the food…

Of course it's okay to take a break! Try to get some exercise in, but you don't have to go hard every single day. Your body deserves a break! Just make sure it *isn't* laziness getting to you. Sometimes you just have to get up, lace up your sneakers, and get yourself out the door.

If this is your first week, chill out. You may be retaining water, or putting on a smidge of muscle. Also, fasting was probably not a great idea. If you put your body into starvation mode, your body will hold on to all of the food you put into yourself and keep all of the calories it can.

Were you eating too little? You may have put your body into starvation mode, so now you want to eat all of the time.

What has worked for myself and for other friends is that instead of eating your feelings, you should exercise them out. Working out actually decreases stress and releases endorphins that will cheer you up, along with other hormones (such as dopamine and norepinephrine) that will help improve your overall mood. Exercise…
