I have blonde hair and swim 4 - 6 times a week. If you wash your hair after, it won't turn green.

Be diligent about exercise but allow yourself some freedoms with food (within reason). I have found that if I am too strict and limit my favorites, I fall off the wagon. I follow weekly calories instead of daily so that I can have some fun on the weekends. :) Also, find an exercise you actually enjoy. For me, that is…

I totally am with you. I talk to myself so negatively that I end up just quitting and drinking an entire bottle of wine. Stay Strong - and if you have a bad day - there's always a tomorrow coming.

Add me too!

I am super strict on my daily calories during the week (within a healthy range).... but I really only do it so I can drink as much as I want on the weekends and stay under my weekly goal....

I second swimming laps!

I always look for soups when I go to restaurants! Do they offer any soups or salads? That's what I would do.

I'm training for a women's triathlon in July... but I'm mostly working out to lose weight and being in better shape for the Tri is a bonus...

I do save calories for the weekends. I know that on Fridays and Sundays I will with a degree of certainty go over my daily intake... so I stay under other days of the week to make up for it. On the mobile app you can chart your weekly calories so that is what I go for.

You look amazing - you should feel very proud! :flowerforyou:

Feel free to add me - I have about 20 pages of recipes that I use on here. I dont make them public (for the shear fact that I'm just lazy) but if you see something in my diary that looks/sounds good, I can give you the recipe!

Looks a little full of angst?

I would be interested!

I definitely have this problem as well. It's easy to behave during the week, but on the weekend all I want to do is EAT and DRINK! I'm going to try and cut myself a little more slack than I did the last time I lost weight so that maybe I'll stick with it and won't gain it all back!

Vin Diesel's arm muscles!

Thanks for all of the replies! I'll see how it goes. If I like it, great! If not, well, I'll go back to eating meat whenever.

I am slowly losing motivation, too. I have been doing it for three weeks... the first week I lost three pounds! I was so excited... the next two I only lost half a pound each week. I need the loss to keep me going so I am struggling to keep doing it. Ugh. This is so hard!!
