Drink more water. If you feel hungry, drink a full glass of water first. Also, fill up on healthy fats and fiber. A simple avocado or a handful of nuts will curb the craving.

I fill half the cup with coffee and half with hot water. That lightens it up and you can use less cream and sugar.

You should have a little more fat - the healthy kind!! Add olive oil/coconut oil to the fish or chicken; 2 tablespoons of hemp seed has 7 grams protein and 1 carb.

I hate cheesecake. cheese...cake.... a cake made of cheese... *gag* Thanks for throwing it out. Proud of you, OP.

I make my own. 1 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup honey, Italian seasoning, maybe a squeeze of lemon.

drink a little drink, smoke a little smoke

Commit to a healthy lifestyle. Rid your home of junk food. You don't have to say "no" to everything all the time. Short-term goals will help! Say no to sugar for a week and then after that, eat all you want (if you want to). Say no to fast food for a week. Say no to alcohol for one weekend. You can do it!! Eventually you…

I'm 25. Chicago, IL, USA. I love being healthy and fit. Add me :)

Caffeine is addictive. Personally, I am easily effected by it - get really hyper after a cup of coffee. So using that energy in a workout doesn't seem like a bad idea. Some people are immune to the caffeine effect. It depends on you. There are health benefits to coffee through antioxidants - it's the cream and sugar that…

Yes! This is part of my New Years Resolutions. January is no sweets and February is no alcohol. I do have a couple exceptions - Super bowl and Mardi Gras - but otherwise 26 days no alcohol. We can do it!

weekends. All the rules (and my schedule) go out the window on weekends :/

CHICAGO

Not the animo acids or the caffeine blend. On the label, under "other ingredients".... Malic acid? silicon dioxide? cellulose and xanthan gum? lecithin? inulin? ect..

I think I'm getting enough sleep; I go to bed around 10pm and wake up around 6am. I just have a boring desk job staring at a computer all day :ohwell: and it always seems around 2 or 3 pm that my body shuts down.

Pizza... "one more piece" always turns into eating the whole pie.

Hey Bryce, You came to the right place. Take in everything MFP has to offer and you will succeed. Welcome to the club :happy:

Pinterest and Google images are good inspirations. Just think of something you'll love forever and look up images or work with a tattoo artist to create a design. For me, I worship the sun and that's going to be my next tat. Just need to figure out the exact design. Good Luck!

Congratulations!! Beautiful medal. Keep up the great work! I remember my first 5k. They can be addicting! I signed up for 6 this year :wink:

NOT a thing of the past. I received a Thank You card for attending my friend's graduation party and even a Thank You card from my mother for throwing her a surprise birthday dinner. FB is not an acceptable medium for sending thanks for wedding gifts and such. That person is rude!

Thank you for this! I am going to use these. You provided an excellent NO EXCUSES list :happy:

From my personal experience: more protein = more gas :ohwell:

Great post, OP. I have the exact same problem! Almost to my goal weight; seeing ribs but not abs because of this pooch. I think my main problem is beer :drinker: Let's keep at it! Work hard; eat clean.
