It has comprised the majority of my calories for the past 2 weeks. Guess I relaxed too much with the…

How is it any different than being at home? Use moderation and self control. Try to log your food as accurately as you can. Stop eating when you're not hungry anymore. If you want to let loose and eat a little more, drink a little more, go for it! you're on vacation. Utilize the gym or the pool a lot to balance things out.…

I do small tasks to build momentum. So, in your case: The first thing I would do is just start getting up early. I am an AM exerciser so when I am slacking that usually means I am sleeping in. So first thing I'd do is get my sleep schedule in order. Then I would focus on logging. Again, when I slack, that means I'm not…

Frustration is par for the course. Work at it until frustration turns into elation. You're making progress. That's what counts.

Every time you are going to over eat, or every time you are sitting on the sofa doing nothing (watching TV counts as doing nothing) just ask yourself: Is this going to bring me closer to my goal? Will this make me feel good in the long run or just in this moment?

What kind of motivation works for you? Now, I'm not asking which you like the best, but which gives you results.

The gym 5 mins from your house?!?! That would be my dream. You have the tools. You know what to do. You only need to apply will. Try to do some big batch cooking on the weekends(soups, chili casseroles), or just some simple meal prep. If you simply decide what you'll be cooking each night, you can do small things like cut…

What do you plan to do differently than all the other times? I'm not asking that to be a stinker-- I ask that because if someone had asked me that all the times I said "this is the last time I am starting over," things would be different today! I wish you success!

Gym-- no distractions, only one thing to do there: work out. Oh and the automated temperature control. Love it.

I started lifting weights. It's not for everyone, but it is for me. Also, it really helped tighten me up-- even when the scale wasn't moving I was going down pant sizes. Before that though, I did body weight work outs at home: push ups, squats, lunges, etc. It wasn't my favorite thing in the world, but it was better than…

Cheating? On what? Here are my tips:* Find a form of exercise you actually enjoy. Dancing, walking, hula hooping, rock climbing, whatever. Find a fun thing that gets you moving and do it. * Do not restrict any types of food. You can have candy. You can have bread. You can have chocolate ice cream. Just have them in such a…

People find all the reasons in the world not to make themselves a priority. Selfishness is feared so much that people fall into patterns of self neglect. It's okay to love yourself. It's okay to put your health and happiness first. Everyone in our lives benefits when we take care of ourselves properly. It isn't selfish.

You just have to work on altering your expectations. You know it won't be fast, you know this. Yet you feel frustrated when what you know proves to be true. I've been there. Just have faith in the process. And hey, the fat will come off where and when it wants to. I'd be ecstatic if my fat came off on my hips and thighs.…

Just because someone thinks "tough love" is abuse, doesn't mean it is. Abuse is a strong word. If an OP gets called out on making an excuse, or is told that their approach is likely to be unsuccessful, or that their goal is unrealistic, and the OP claims such statements as attacks or abuse that creates a bigger problem.…

None of my business.

I figured it out when I kept skipping the gym in the morning or after work because I was "so tired" or [enter excuse here], but when a friend or family member needed me for something, or if I had to work late, then it was no problem. I was still just as tired, or maybe I didn't feel like it but I was obligated, so no…

It's true, there are many people who do not honor all of their obligations, but EVERYONE honors at least one. My point is that the obligation to ourselves needs to be a higher priority.

When it comes to being sick there are two rules I stick by: * If it's an upper respiratory issue, no strenuous exercise. * If I'm contagious, no gym. Why? Because if I can't breathe properly, I can't work out properly. Period. Because if I am contagious and huffing and puffing and touching everything in a gym setting,…

Self control is like a muscle. You have to use it in order for it to grow stronger. If you pass his desk 8 times a day, consider those potential self control reps. Maybe today you can only do one rep (only 1 out of 8 times you resist the candy bowl). If you actually complete that rep, over time you can do more and your…

As long as it fits within your caloric goal, you're good.

Ibuprofen, epsom salt bath, massage, foam rolling, hydration, and time.

She'd already had plastic surgery done in the first pic...

This is the kind of joke she would have made herself.

Ice cream. Coffee.

This is one of the problems I avoid...

I don't have any friends on this site. I avoid a lot of "problems" that way.
