I'm ready! Gotta stop the slide Original starting weight: 139 October starting weight:135 October goal:130 Ultimate goal: 125 Oct 1 - Oct 8 - Oct 15 - Oct 22 - Oct 29 - Total loss for October -

My goal is to get back down under 130 (oops I gained 5 lbs over my range...) before Halloween and then maintain through the Thanksgiving/Christmas season (which for me is seriously difficult, I love holiday food!!).

I'm 5'6" and I probably maintain at around 1800 - my diary is set at 1650, but I'm not super careful about my logging so I usually miss enough calories to make up the difference. I'm at 135 right now but I've been horrible and usually maintain at 125-30. I eat back some exercise calories, but I don't exercise very much :( .

I'm on week 7 now but I'm a bit stalled as I hurt my knee on Thursday. Not sure what I did but my summer job keeps me above 10k steps a day, so I nought jyst be overdoing it in general... resting up a bit and I'm going to start back as soon as it stops hurting to be at my job all day... still hate running! But I'm…

Tomorrow I'm doing Week 5 day 3 if it doesn't kill me.... I can't imagine running for 20 minutes in a row... I'm trying to make a good playlist to distract me from how much I (still) hate running....

I'm a teacher too, school's out Friday! Add me!

I agree with the above and sometimes it helps me to look at the total that I cooked and how much (fraction-wise) that I ate. For example, if I had a pound of ground beef and it made 4 burgers, I know it's 4 oz per hamburger. If I'm making spaghetti, I do the same thing - it's not as precise but it helps me actually get the…

Carrots! I'm a muncher and I can munch on carrots without hating myself afterwards (most of the time) and I'll stop sooner if it's not goldfish.

Afternoon? Nothing specific, sometimes a granola bar or goldfish if I want carbs, carrots if I feel like munching. After a c25k round? I usually eat some grape tomatoes that I keep in the fridge because they're cold and taste wonderful after sweating. I don't actually work out hard enough to have a specific snack.

I also love a good bread - for your specific problem of having it at work I'd suggest a "one a week" policy - if you use your one for the week on Monday then that's too bad, wait until next week. (That wouldn't work for me, I'm not so good at moderating in general, and I have to avoid things most all the time. I ate a…

Mine is only about +/-3 lbs. I'm a small person (121 is my norm), but I'll get as low as 118 in the summer if I'm really active; when I hit 125 I know it's time to be careful again. Right now I'm at 125-126, so I'm trying to be very deliberate about what I eat (though I'm a teacher and I know it's probably end-of-year…

I don't drink my calories (most of the time) and I realized how much I don't really need buns to enjoy a hamburger or a shell to enjoy tacos (taco salad). I only cut out things I won't miss (not ice cream).

There's a 2000s hip hop cardio station on amazon music that I've been listening to. I like having something upbeat to keep my pace.

cheese chicken milk eggs spinach ground beef tortillas english muffins grape tomatoes pork loin pizza sauce pizza toppings crackers (wheat thins for hubs, triscuits for me) we also bought ice cream this weekend on sale! I got moosetracks, hubs got cookies and cream :)

Different portions? You could have more of a low-cal side and he could have more of the main dish? Or the other way around, depending on how the calories work out. That way you could both have the same food but not eat the same way. I do this with tacos - I eat a taco salad with lots of spinach and beans, my husband has…

I eat really fast... Like 5-10 minutes for a whole meal. I'm a teacher so I'm used to not having much time to myself, but I even do it at dinner and my hubs is only 5 bites in when I'm done...

I'm assuming you've heard this before but here goes....It's usually oily BECAUSE you wash it every day. When you wash it, you take away all the natural oils and your scalp works overtime to put it back. When you start washing it every few days, give it about 2-3 weeks, you will notice a drastic decrease in oil production…

I usually shower at night (and wash my hair every day or it is super oily and gross) - if I work out in the morning I shower and rinse my hair only to get out any sweat. If I work out in the afternoon I just wait until I shower that night. If I don't wash my hair every day it gets disgusting because it's very oily, but I…

I cut all added sugar for about a week (during spring break as a teacher was the only way I could do it). It was horrible at first, but by the end of the week I thought I could handle it. (Unfortunately, I had a "reward" the next day of several cookies, and it was downhill from there). One thing that I've noticed for me is…

I drink 1/2 - 1 cup of coffee a day with breakfast. I can't drink it on an empty stomach, and if I work out in the morning I have to drink it afterwards. I get shaky if I drink it before. If I'm super tired in the afternoon I'll drink the other half in the afternoon. Can't have anything after 4 ish if I want to sleep at…

Has anyone gotten to the point where they don't hate running anymore? I'm on week 2... still waiting to not hate every second of the running parts (and I love walking/hiking)...

mushrooms! cheese! (you can do a low-fat white cheese)

Biscuits and gravy!(I only get that once a year on my birthday) or pizza - but I can usually fit that into my day if I'm careful.

Nuts! I know they're good for you, but it was hard to fit them in my calories during a regular day.

Emotional/boredom eater here as well. Stress-eating has been a problem for me most of the time, but I'm trying to move toward "stress-exercising" and it works some of the time? My mother is an emotional eater and my dad is a boredom eater, so I inherited the worse end of both...

I just started and I'm on week 2 day 2 (today, as long as it's not unreasonably cold) - feel free to add me

Grilled chicken and baby tomatoes - I prefer snacks!

Usually I'm not hungry, I'm bored, or stressed, or tired, etc... I drink a lot of water though!

I have gotten that way with any fast food - I think it's my body not being used to the grease in it. I am still able to eat candy because I never cut that out completely, but I stopped eating fast food for several months. I'm okay with that though because I don't really feel the urge to eat it either.

I feel your pain - I have tried eating no added sugar but then eating as much fruit (natural sugar) as I wanted. It seemed to help when I did it. I've since fallen off the wagon a bit, but that's my two cents!
