Hi Everyone. :) I am new here. I hope to be a new part of this group. It sounds like you all are making such good progress so far this new year! It inspires me to keep going. I started weighing and tracking all of my calories last week. I've tried this before but would gave up after a week or so. So one day at a…

I gained confidence because I felt more like my natural self. I still had self love at my heavier weight (+25lb) but I didn't feel comfortable in my body. Now I feel healthier inside and out. And I learned a bit of discipline along the way with keeping up with workouts.

Success!! Just for today... a green juice this morning, and another night run :)

YES! The night I saw Bolt run I decided to go to the track and do my own version of the Olympics LOL

Low sodium will make a huge difference! If you keep truly hydrated and avoid salt, your body will hold onto less of the extra water weight. Good luck!

Yay! Congrats on losing 90bs - here's to the last 5 melting away!

Just for today.... no chips before bed...and going for a run :)

Brain over Binge - try that book. I just heard about it and the theory in it is helping me....it empashizes your body/brain is trying to re-feed and get the nutrients you restricted in the past. If you've dieted or restricted without filling up on healthy whole foods like fruits and veggies and fiber, your body could be…

SW: 155 CW: 141.5 GW: 135 by Dec. 31 My struggle is portion control of snack foods! So I eliminated certain ones from my house and replaced them with vegetables! Also drinking more water will help me stay full. Today's first success is having a healthy breakfast ! I even joined a dietbet for my first time ever…

Today I commit to working out! It's been hard to get up and moving lately. But I'm doing it :)

Thank you and also everyone who sent me your well wishes!! The second half of this month really took a toll on me!! I lost 7lbs due to severe food poisoning!

You can break it! I've never had a huge sweet tooth but I learned from the couple times I got in a sugar kick, and the things I've heard from people, is that when you cut sugar out your cravings do go away, you just have to persist thru them. It can take days n weeks but it does get easier over time. The sugar hits your…

Checkin in tonight to say hi to everyone and wishing you a wonderful Sunday! I had a bit of an "off" day today, no exercise and a couple hundred calories over my goal. BUT tomorrow is a new day!
