As a teacher, I have no time either - so I had to make time. I've put off teacher related things so that I can have time to exercise. My house is a mess right now because I haven't had time to clean it up since I'm choosing to exercise instead. Cleaning can be exercising too- you're moving around, going up and down stairs…

Up your calories but become more active- more exercising, moving around, anything but sitting on your butt :) I found I could easily eat 1700 calories, exercise 45 minutes on my elliptical on a day, and still lose a little bit of weight the next day or over a week. I notice that I feel ****ty and tired when I stop…

For me, I find that when I can stick to around 30 grams of sugar - from anything - I lose weight a lot faster. I cut out sugar from my daily cups of coffee (I learned to like coffee with just 2% milk), if I eat fruit- it's just one fruit/serving a day (because it will eat up most of my sugar intake), and I try to avoid…

Yeah I can't watch Man vs Food ~ I feel sorry for the guy and I think it makes Americans look like fat a$$es for having eating competitions like that. I'm sure other countries have competitions as well but most Americans are so overweight it's not encouraging us to lose weight.

Being that I'm from Jersey and we're famous for having 24-hour diners here, I enjoy the show too and yes it leaves me drooling sometimes as well :) BUT it reminds me why it's important that I try to do as much of the cooking for my meals as possible- I won't add the salt (mind you I was crazy for salt when I was younger…

This is how I got myself to consistently drink 8+ glasses of water a day: - I watered down my drinks for a few months- soda had seltzer water poured into it and fruit juice either got regular water or seltzer. I started with 75% drink 25% water and eventually got down to 25% drink 75% water. - Then I switched over to…

I don't have any friends on my list yet :( Anybody want to help me create an awesome, caring, and motivational group of friends???

It's nice to sit down and eat a meal with no distractions- no TV, no computer, NOTHING :) Especially if you can get your spouse to sit down to eat with you and have a nice conversation with one another about your day.

Can you plan to maybe eat a little less the next day -or- increase your exercise after your bigger meal? While it doesn't always work, I stick to calories in and calories out method of "dieting". While I may eat more one day, if I can fast the next day to help balance calories out that usually helps me to stay on track.…

I try to encourage my family and friends to find events that won't include food ~ today, for example, my husband asked if I wanted to go out to eat (again) and I asked him if we could decide to do something without food involved (so we went shopping for our pets and then food shopping- but hey at least we didn't actually…
