Snacks are very important, you can eat a smaller meal if you have a snack in between. If you can get protein in the snack, all the better! I try to avoid sugary items (i.e. fruit) on their own because they make me hungrier. Also, WATER! It's honestly what keeps me full, and gives me exercising going from my office to the…

I totally understand how you feel, I was on my first diet at 5 years old... ugh. Feel free to add me as a buddy!

It's all about monitoring what you're eating and exercising. I found by setting reasonable goals that some might consider slow (2 pounds a week), and exercising like 4 times a week. Feel free to add me as a buddy!

I would encourage you to take pictures and once a month is a good interval! I just find comparing pictures allows me to see the progress I've made, and keeps me working at it! When you shrink slowly, it's often hard to recognize the changes but if you have a before picture, it makes you realize how far you've come! Keep up…

Sign me up! That sounds like an achievable (but still challenging) goal... I can do 22 pounds before the end of the challenge! Let me know how you want to track the miles!

Your weight is your weight - I think you're wondering when to weigh to see the most accurate picture of your weight loss. I agree with the above - first thing in the morning is most consistent. I find at night, it can fluctuate depending on whether I have had a big meal, worked out or not, etc. But am fairly consistent in…
