I do feel the same way when I get home. The only way I am able to get in any exercise is during breaks at work. Most day I get in at least 20 minutes of walking. Some days I am able to do more if I don't have meetings or errands to run.

You will do well - you already have a great attitude!

I've lost around 14lbs.. I still have not gone down a size however, I think part of that is because my clothes were already tight. Now they are fitting the way they should and some are starting to become loose..

Awesome!

Love your determination - you look great!

Love this.

It was nice to hear you say that yes you do go over your calorie goal and that you have bad days but, you just keep moving on. This time around w/my weight loss I am trying to realize that sometimes life just happens and that I might go over my calorie goal but, it is okay - the important piece is I have to keep moving on.…

You have already received lot of great ideas/advice. My suggestion would be to maybe get in some walks during a coffee break or lunch break. You could also get some meal planning/grocery list items done during lunch before/after a walk while you eat your lunch... During my morning coffee break I walk twice around our…

Congrats on this major milestone!

I have done this in the past - I typically call it a loss and move on the next day. Make sure you contine to log your food though. Depending on what you end up over for the day you could also reduce your calories over the next few days to make up for the overage. Whatever you decide just remember - this is life and these…

Good job getting started - remember this is a martahon not a sprint so slow and steady will reap the results/benefits you are seeking!

I agree with what everyone above has said about fluid intake. However, I do" only count the actual water I drink because I'm trying to increase my water intake and this helps me to keep track.

Nice job.

Well done!

I always worry that my motivation will wither too. This is probably my third or fourth go round with this site and I'm almost 60 days in this time. This time I have been more active on the site (previous lurker) & I've even added some friends. So I think that you are on the right track for success.

You look great.

Sounds like you are on the right track. Your story is similar to mine in so many ways. Good for you for going cold turkey on the soda - I haven't been able to do that yet. I like you also had acid reflux and it was due to my soda habit. At that time that was the only fluid that went into my body besides the melted ice that…

Great job!

This sounds familiar.. I'm back here after on again off again. I was always a lurker in the message boards but, never added any friends. This time around I becoming a little more active in the message boards and slowly adding friends- I've been back 6-7 weeks and it has already seemed to make a difference.

Welcome back. I am back once again as well.

I agree it can seem overwhelming at first. When I started (the first time) - it took me a couple of weeks to log everything, log it accurately (got a scale), and stay w/in my calorie goal. I did lose weight though - I figured it was because even though I wasn't 100% accurate I was still eating less than normal. Now…

I'm going in March 2017 also - 5 days though (wish it were 7!). On the previous cruises we have been on we only took the elevator a few times - otherwise, it was all stairs all the time. We also would walk around on the decks - or the outdoor track. We weren't just walking leisurely and there were lots of people…

I just bought a bathing suit. I can get it on but it is quite snug. I am have high hopes that it will fit the way it should by summer. I have never bought an item of clothing that was to small before.

You look great!!!

Way to go! I agree - you don't even look like the same person...

You look awesome - keep up the good work!

The company I work for offers a Health Assessment each year. When the nurses measure my waist they have me hold the tape on my belly button and measure that area...

This is awesome. You both look great.

Keep up the good work. Happy Birthday by the way.

Good luck. I am the same way - I need to make changes gradually in order for me to be successful.
