I went a whole month without added sugars and it was very difficult. The first week was the hardest. I had major withdrawal symptoms. Then it got easier over time but I was still missing sugary foods. I ate fruit instead, mostly strawberries and mangos. Then once the month was up I bought myself some snacks like cookies…

I pretend jump rope, because sadly, I really can't jump rope :/

I guess I'm not gonna lose 3 pounds this last week huh lol

I can totally relate! I live in SA too and I can do good all week, stay within my calories and workout. But then comes the weekend and my sister calls "hey we bbq'd. come over!" It's so hard not to over do it because I want to eat everything especially all the tortillas! Anyway, I loved your story. You did great :D

eek I'm losing so slowly :(

Well I drank at least 11 glasses of water every day this past week. Unfortunately I've been sick the past few days so I didn't complete the walking part of the challenge.

8/9* Just happy that I haven't gained weight since I've been sick the past couple of days :(

I'm at the point where its not even quitting anymore. This is my new lifestyle. I haven't had a soda in over a year and the one time I did, I got a headache. The fast food/greasy/high sodium foods all make me feel bloated and make my stomach hurt. It affects my night time workout. Its not quitting because I didn't give up…

wowow thats awesome!

I tend to get jealous very easily. Mostly its because of how I see myself. I think my insecurities play a big role. For example, this past weekend I was having lunch with my family and I was shocked to find out one of my cousins wears a bigger pant size than me and another has a larger waist than I do. I was mostly shocked…

I try to stay a few calories under my target in case I over estimated my exercise calories. Plus it tells my friends when I've completed my diary and when I've completed my diary and was under my goal. It makes me feel guilty if I'm over my goal :( On the weekends I'm usually over my goal because I usually eat at someone…

I also drink pure protein. I like the triple chocolate one. Plus I'm a forever broke college student and this one fits my budget :D

August 3rd.. It is so hot outside! I live in Texas. So I walked around the mall (they have mile markers) for an hour. Drank 11 glasses of water. August 4th.. Did yardwork at my sisters all day so I didn't go for the walk but I did drink 14 glass of water. Like I said, it's super hot! August 5th.. Walked around the mall for…

I'm impatient! I'm impatient towards everything though.. It's something I need to work on. I'll work on it later. :p

amazing! love it when that happens. It was meant to be :D

Bump!

Yes, I've done this before and I need to start again! Usually I will buy a size down in jeans so I don't have to wait too long before I can wear them. But it feels even better when they are too loose and you can no longer wear them instead of not being able to wear them because they are too tight.. :D

There's an extreme shed and shred? *runs to go look it up*

Good job! You can do it! I think giving up smoking is so much harder than weight loss because you dont have to completely give up food. But every day is progress! Keep up the good work!

Thank you! I just did it

Thank you! I will do that!

239lbs! My goal is to lose 100 total so I have 15 left to lose.

Thanks everyone! It's definitely still hard to believe. Sometimes I have to look into a mirror to remind myself of the new me :D

Thanks! :D

I'll usually pack pistachios, or peanuts, (in the shell so it gives me something to do and I don't shove it in my mouth so fast) or fruits. Sometimes I'll pack some hummus and pita bread too and cheese and crackers.

I'm very immature at times you see so I would probably come back with, "your mom knows how thick I am" :p

I usually eat fruit, strawberries, watermelon, grapes... and then once in a while if I'm craving ice cream, I will have a froyo instead. I usually have about 4 or 5 ounces of whatever flavor plus an ounce of toppings. It usually kicks the craving and then I will drink a large glass of water after to make myself feel…
