planning WORKS! it helps you have more willpower

I work out 5 or 6 days a week, either P90X or both gym and P90X. Fairly new on here, but ive been right on track for almost two weeks now and definately not stopping anytime soon. I love to hear/give tips and motivation. add me if you like :)

lol @ people who don't get the sarcasm... i mean......sarcasm? what sarcasm? where? :D

snacks: trail mix (nuts), granola bars (i like kashi), dried fruit (careful with added sugars), rice cakes, rice crackers, protein bars as for BK, maybe they have a grilled (not breaded) chicken burger? cut it in half. also drink water and tea. Hot tea is supposed to make you feel full. no sugary drinks. don't sweat it if…

although some people lose/gain weight for health and fitness, a lot do it just to look a certain way. Im fit but I want to be smaller, you're fit and you want to be bigger. looking a certain way can be a big motivation too and there's nothing wrong with that.

try sipping on hot tea (no sugar). it's supposed to make you feel full. i drink a couple cups in the morning inbetween breakfast and morning snack and it works for me.

I have the same problem. I just asked my sister today (bsci in nutrition) how much sugar we need in a day (from fruits and veggies) here was her answer: her: 130 grams of carbohydrate me: i don't get it... her: carbohydrate IS natural sugar and it includes starch and fuit and grains and vegetables her: sugar is sugar and…

Something has to click first, but friends keep me motivated. If I'm feeling dissappointed that I didn't reach a goal, others give me encouragement and i don't feel as bad! Knowing your not the only one who struggles makes me say to myself "its okay, stick with it, it happens". When I hear about other peoples success it…

I need friends!

bhahahaha

I've been doing 1200 for just about 1 week, and i find it hard to keep my sugar low as well. Since i eat mostly non processed foods and a lot of fresh foods, i notice most of my sugar intake comes from FRUIT! Even though its natural sugar... sugar is sugar. I try to eat only 1-2 servings of fruit per day, and try to…

I only started MFP 3 days ago, but I've been drinking 8 glasses of water/day for about a week now. I thought i had noticed a difference in my skin (no blemishes, soft, moisturized), and my boyfriend confirmed that by complimenting me on how clear my skin looked! Yay!

ditto

My recommended calorie intake is 1200, but i have a hard time consuming at least 1000 calories a day, and then when you subract a 50 minute workout, my calorie deficit is from 500-800! I am eating plenty of veggies every meal, fruits, as well as some nuts, whole grains, eggs, chicken and other sources of protein and…
