And way to go for not giving in to the sugar cravings the other night! It's all about taking it one step at a time, and to keep working at it, even when we feel we lose control.

I can totally sympathize, and struggle with binge eating and bulmia, although, other the past few months I have gained a lot more control over purging, and am now trying to stop the binging. There's another thread on here that I comment on, similar to this one, where people have shared their stories and are supporting one…

Past two night I have gone straight up to bed, instead of into my kitchen looking for food as had become my habit. i think i might be over eating during the day, so i'm going to be really diligent about logging what I eat, so I can really track my progess. It would be nice to begin a see a shift in my weight.

@comfortfood - good for you for actively incorportating the fruits and veggies into your diet! so important! i've been a steady weight at 165 for some time, so i'm hoping this challange will get the scale moving. I want to be out of the 160s, and nicely moving into the 150s, by Sept. 4, which should be completely doable as…

i'm in!! Double, double, double!

Yesterday was really good for me! First time in a while where I didn't indulge my sweet tooth during the day or evening! Here's to Day #2!

Thank you for initially starting this group! I have struggled with this, as well as bulimia, for a number of years, some months more intense than others. I always wanted it to stop, but never knew how, and was so ashamed. About 10 months ago it started getting really bad, and I relate totally to those on here who have said…

I'm in! I'm not a big soda drinker to begin with, but it's the sweets that kill me!! I really am trying to get that tooth under control. Am excited about this challenge to do so.

Hasn't been a great week for me.... Went over my calories quite a bit, and wasn't able to exercise as much as I normally do. Hoping I will get back into it over the weekend and stay focused.

Friday update: Definitely not one of my strongest weeks! Was only able to exercise once during the work week!... and didn't do very well on my goal of no late night snacking... 2 out of the 5 days this week I did... Going to go to the gym after work today so I will weigh myself then and get at least another work out in…

Me - 4 Snacks - 2 Here's hoping to continuing to scale back the snacks over the weekend and next week!

Last night I had a craving for a late night snack after coming home from a movie (where I passed on the popcorn and felt good about doing it), but I had already gone slightly over my calories for the day. So I asked myself if I was going to be serious about a lifestyle change, or if I was going to go back to my old habit…

Good work everyone and keep sticking to your goals! The timing of this challange really works for me. Here are my goals: 1. Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. 2. Log all my calories into MFP, and even if I go over, don't get discouraged and keep at it 3. Continue exercising 4-6 times a week 4. Allow myself one snack…

Just saw this thread, and I'd like to start now if that's alright :) Goals: 1. Exercise: Four days of cardio/ two days of strength training 2. Diet: Eat my allocated calories - no snacking after dinner, unless one piece of fruit or veggie - and drink my 8 glasses of water!! 3. Lose 10 pounds Woo! I'm excited!

Count me in!! This thread is exactly what I need!

Thanks everyone for what you've had to say. I really find it helpful and am ready to do my best to make a lifestyle change and get whatever help I need. Appreciate the thoughts!

This is a great way to stay motivated! My name is Patricia and I'm 5'7" and weigh 167lbs. I want to get healthy and in shape, and know the weight will come off and I'll shape up once I'm doing that. Excited to see the progress made!
