I just want to eat foods in there most natural state. I am a food addict and I gravitate to sugar, fat and salt. eating the way I have I dont eat a whole back for hershey kisses. This is just what I need to do to keep me on track. Like I said in my post I do it because it works for me.

My natural sugar part is fruits with sugar in them. I dont avoid fruit.

I cut out all processed foods and I dont eat anything with added sugar. I am not afraid of sugar I am just doing this because I want to. I eat foods that have sugar in them naturally. I have lost 27lbs since Feb 23rd but I count my calories daily and exercise as much as i can. I walk up hills for my workouts. I know lots…

you dont need luck you need:forgiveness when you cheat and feel bad, determination when you dont want to go exercise, willpower to say no thank you, stamina for the journey ahead, hugs for when you want to cry and throw in the towel, and love most of all. Love yourself and know that each step each good choice brings you…

I am losing the weight to be able to protect and take care of my family. I never wanted to be someone that needed someone to help me and if I dont get healthy I see that happening. I turn 40 in a year and my thin self is inside screaming to get out. This is it. This is for real this time. I am changing my life.

WOW just WOW great job

I am down my first 20lbs I have 80 more to go. Its a journey where the road will have ups and downs. Take it 1 day at a time 1 meal at a time if you have to. Its a way of life and be in it for the long haul. Dont hate yourself if you slip and fall. Pick yourself up and move on.

Great article.

My goal has been to eat all natural foods. Nothing processed nothing with added sugar. I also eat at a deficit. I have lost 20lbs since Feb 23rd. I do workout most days. I think the all natural foods has given me lots of energy to workout.

between meals when I start to get hungry I eat string cheese or 15 almonds. Also an apple with peanut butter is good. I find that protein is the key to getting rid of the hunger. Add scrambled eggs in the morning takes 1 minute to cook. or cottage cheese or both.

i have an extra snack of 15 almonds and fruit or cheese and fruit. I do not eat my calories. I dont trust that my 60 minute hike actually burned 750 calories. But I am trying to lose a lot of weight. If I was maintaining or gaining I would eat my calories

I always say that I would protect my family if I had to. Well I noticed that in my current shape I was kidding myself. I am dependent on others to take of me and my family and I hate that. I am losing the weight and eating healthy to be there for my family if they need me. We own property and on the weekends we working the…

I have gained and lost weight, have medical problems that help me stay bigger and yes I totally know what to do and lack will power most of the time. This time is different. 1. I do not hate myself if I eat something that is not 100% good for me. 2. My whole family is participating so when I feel like not walking they do…

I dont see that I have given anything up I have just added things like, all natural foods and walking. 10lbs down in 17 days and I feel great. Long way to go so staying positive.

find something you enjoy doing for your exercise. Like zumba or walking with a friend or for me its walking and an at home crossfit workout with my son. Thats a great motivator. When your doing something you like to do its easier to do.

looking at your serving sizes. I measure my meats and that helps.
