My best advice to you is save calories for dessert. It sounds to me like you really ave a sweet tooth! if you are constantly denying yourself your cravings, you are more likely to give up. The key to weight loss is not to diet, it is to change your lifestyle. Just remember, everything in moderation. Weight watchers makes…

Hang in there. Think about how great your going to feel as the pounds start dropping off. And if you can fit in a nap, that will help too. As for low calorie food ideas, I love spaghetti! Use ground turkey or lean ground beef and instead of using high calorie pasta, get a spaghetti squash! Add a side salad with fat free…

Carl's Jr/Hardy's charbroiled chicken sandwich low carb (in lettuce wrap instead of bun) with a side salad, no croutons and low cal balsamic vinaigrette. 275 calories and very filling!

I don't do it the day before, but I do plan everything I'm going to eat in the morning while I'm on the elliptical. I usually enter every thing into my food journal on my cell phone and then stick to it. It really helps me to have a clear plan for the day. Additionlly, I try to leave at least 200 calories free in case I…

My little ones are 5 & 6, and I am so afraid that they will inherit my horrible habits. I've been back on track for about 7 months…

I agree with many of the other posters, if you don't allow yourself to have sweets in moderation, you will be more likely to go off the deep end. I keep a bag of Hershey kisses in my desk at work and allow myself one every day after lunch. My other favorite go to treat is sliced bananas, sugar free chocolate pudding, and…

Have you ever tried Special K protein water? It's only 25 calories and as helped me get through many days! Hang in there. It will get easier!

I also have two little ones and find it extremely hard to find time to exercise. I've started getting up an hour earlier while they are still asleep to work out. I have a elliptical at home, but if you don't have your own workout machine, you could pick up some fun workout videos. Some of my favorites are Zumba, Taebo, and…
