  • That's amazing! You should be celebrating your success for sure! Being able to survive "Christmas Eve" with a minor calorie overage, I'd say that's a definite success!! Rooting for you and for what the scale says -- crossing fingers for good news! :)
  • Following a similar pattern, making a small change at a time can help get you on the right track. Here are 5 suggestions to get you started (copied from "Ultimate Bundles"): 1. Drink a green smoothie 2. Replace soda or tea with water. Need a little flavor? Toss in a few lemon slices. 3. Take a 10-minute walk. Have a little…
  • I think you should go with a healthier goal, and one where you won't end up gaining it right back.

Honey is good sugar, and cottage cheese can be fat free (although I like the low-fat better). I love ice cream. Sometimes, I'll freeze a small tub of vanilla yogurt and have that as a snack. Makes me…
  • I think your goal is just right -- and you have the right attitude about it. I'm not sure, however, that your 1500 calorie a day goal is low enough to lose much weight if at all. I would either aim to be lower, or don't eat back the workout calories. Might not be the best advice, but it would certainly jump you back into…
