All the sugar in fruits and vegetables

I think the way I handle my trigger foods is to find healthier alternatives, so when you binge its not quite as bad, not that I don't eat the bags of chips that I used to, but I feel it can curb the need to have that whole bag of high fat high sodium, remember it takes at least 21 days to break a habit, I was eating up to…

Having a hard time drinking water? me too! but I find it much easier if I squirt some lemon into it, that way even if its not cold I find it easier to drink, before march of this year I rarely drank water, now I can usually get in my 8 cups, but without lemon I don't think it would happen.

Way to go, it is so inspiring to hear your story and am so glad that you have been able to hop over this hurdle, good luck and keep up the great work. My favorite workout is deepwater work out that I do 4 times a week, there are people from 16 to 80 doing it. I also had tears when I read your thread.

If you have a ball sit on it and lift opposite arm and leg, or lie on your stomach on the ball lifting opposite arm and leg, or put the ball on the wall an lean back on an angle doing squats, or put your arms on the ball while kneeling in front of it and rolling it out, and without the ball lay on your back with your knees…

I go to deep water work out and aquasize, and occasionally will get on the tread mill for 20 minutes with a little weight lifting. I also try to walk 20 or so minutes on my lunch break. I stared the beginning of March and I am 29 lbs lighter and have lost 4 inches on my waist and 3 on my hips and feel fantastic. I never…

Raw veggies, piece of meat, piece of cheese,and a fruit or use tortilla wraps with meat, spinach tomatoes, make a smoothie with fruit and spinach,

I have the same problem, my husband cooked supper last night and asked me what I wanted, I said salmon, he wanted breaded cod so I said we'll do both, then he wanted fries I said fine, I will cook mine in the oven you can have them in the deep fryer and then he bought peas in the box smothered in butter, I picked a few…

I am 50 and have had 3 children, I do not do jumping jacks or any high impact, my doctor said surgery does not often work, kegels have not done the trick, if I slip and fall, it will end up being an embarrassment, I wear pads all the time, and am thinking about something stronger for more high impact, I am losing weight…

Did my 300 great mini challenge

I'm in

I log everything they were my biggest problems to many high sugar fruits and veggies:smile:

I believe sugars in fruit have been my enemy for years but I didn't know it. I never tracked sugar before, but would mainly eat fruits and vegetables but not have much success in losing, now I track it all the time and find that losing is going much better, I try and stay with the low sugar fruits and veg, I wouldn't say…

Too much sugar is too much sugar its my biggest problem I love fruit and always used to turn to it for snacks I now find that I have to have crackers instead which I thought was more of my problem

I am finding that I have to change my fruits and veg to ones that have less sugar, they have been my hidden problem

The free foods would kill me I found out through myfitnesspal that sugar was one of my big problems and I have never had a sweet tooth but the fruits and vegetables I was eating more than made up for it.

I too am 49 and looking to give and receive support and moivation, I log on just about everyday, started in March but have just started getting into the post parts of it so I am looking forward to going on a journey with all who have the same destination in mind which is mosty a healthier lifyestyle.

I will be 50 in a couple weeks and have had some menopause symptoms for the past year. I have said for the last 2 years that I wanted to be in the best shape I could by the age 50, but the motivation was never there for what ever reason. I got the motivation at the beginning of Feb 2013 then in March my company started a…

Just looking into it and berries are much lower in sugar, have been having the same problem, I am going to try using lower sugar fruit and see how it goes

Its not about the calories its about a balanced diet. Everything comes into play check the canada food guide and then see how many grams of carbs protein sugar etc your age group and size needs. Find the fruits that have lower sugar so you can eat more and still stay within the guidelines. Drink plenty of water is a must…

I am new and love to hear new success stories and hopefully be a motivator and be motivated

Sounds like your doing an awesome job
