  • JFT Will not eat sugar Will be positive Will not eat after dinner
  • I'm in - will post tomorrow :) although dread weighing myself :(
  • Because it is day 1 (another) but I know what I need to do - take control, persist, be accountable to myself and have a healthier lifestyle. I will record my food and exercise diary and I will use stratgies I know when I am stressed rather than using as an excuse to eat unhealthy food. Kia Kaha
  • Hi there decided to join this message board as it may work for me. Have just connected back with Fitpal after some time away , so will be checking in everyday Aim is to get my eating habits back on track & lose some weight and get back my fitness along the way I have really let things slip - I have just submitted my PhD…
  • Hi I also substitute for low cal sweet things ie gum or lollipops or weightwatchers or other low cal desserts for a treat. I often eat cos I am bored or anxious so am trying to train myself to stop and see if I am hungry (although I think those cues are not clear to me after years of food issues) and instead or reaching…
  • Hi there Well I am starting afresh today - as already Monday where I live. Sick of losing a few pounds an then easing off and letting it slowly return. Never find the exercise a problem just resisting the treats esp later at night. Have a goal not to eat after dinner for the next two weeks - starting today. Thanks for the…
  • Hi Well back on the wagon since the weekend; know I need to plan the weekends better as that is when it all falls apart. have a few things coming up that is incentive for me as a couple of kilos makes all the difference to my wardrobe range! using the children as my champions not seeming to help - have to remind them so…
  • Well keeping back on teh wagon - envious not oly of Florida but also summer as on other side of the world and in the midst of winter and winter blues and carbo craving!! Still - there's always an excuse ... am managing exercise and biking to work - even in teh dark - have set myself a strict rule to keep up one pump class…
  • Hi I too am getting back on the wagon - did really well with the pre challenge and then blew it from day 1 til now :( - self sabotage back again. So have printed off a wee chart for me to tick at home eachday (exercise and calorie counting) and am going to ask my children to keep me accountable - is beside their music…

  • Prechallenge has meant I can fit a couple of pencil skirts that were just that too bit snug before - increased wardrobe at no cost :)
  • Hi Well I have started as I am almost a day ahead being in NZ and the start of the dateline: Weighing myself on Monday, as I predicted I had a mini blow out yesterday - before i started but had been tryin gthe pre challenge and up til then good and definitely got me in the zone so back on track today. My pre-challenge was…
  • Still on track - have not counted for a couple of days but know that haven't blown it - exercise is a challenge as had snow & husband away so can't go to an evening exercise class try and do squats while cooking etc - lots of sunshine today so took the dog for a walk in snow :) Have a long weekend this weekend (do not live…
  • Really like the quote: manged to stay under yesterday and also preplanned Friday night so even with 2 glasses of wine still under calorie count - exercise helps. Also weighed myself which I hadn't done for a month and was dreading - had lost 2 kg even though not recording - although admittedly last weigh in was after…
  • If you eat eggs - omelettes and fritatas are great - loaded with vege and sometime I add cottage cheese.

  • Doing ok - survived getting home for very late dinner (9.30pm) as straight from work to school concert - but did avoid the biscuits on offer there :) Find challenges to the normal routine mean that I grab quick food which is generally higher calories. Depsite my best intentions rain has stopped me going out with the dog -…
  • Challenge accepted - exercise part generally easier for me as the dog gets me out there for at least 30 minutes - so perhaps borrow a dog for 30days or walk someone elses to get the exercise part ( you get to meet a whole new community of dog people). The challenge for me is committing to the food diary so am starting…
