Ya, me too. I eat a lunchables with a piece of candy at least once a day. I eat a yogurt with high fructose corn syrup for breakfast a lot. I eat boiled eggs with their fatty yoke, I eat whatever, but I eat small portions and keep it between 1200 and 1600 max. I also only walk a couple hours every night mostly because I…

I am a cheap skate and not really a bulker so I dont need some expensive insanely super food, so I used it in smoothies to disquise all the crazy veggies I put in there. It is found at Walmart and called six star decadent chocolate whey.

Learn to get over "the hungries". Its hard, but you can control wanting to eat when you don't need to. You really can get on a routine and stick to it long term. Go back to the basics, and don't make things complicated. I have your same statistics right now. Exactly, except for the age. I am so happy to be at 178 in five…

If you need more calories but aren't hungry, add small amounts of olive oil, ground flax seed, protein powder or peanut butter to the things you already eat. They won't really fill you IP, bit will help you reach a calorie goal.

This is not answering your question, but I eat whole boiled eggs twice a day, and they kill cravings. I think it is because I get satisfied from the fatty yoke. It really does help.

Don't let other peoples meals influence yours. Pack a lunch box, and stick to it.

If you push as hard as you can every day on the 30 day shred, you will be too tired for all that other stuff.

I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred back to back twice for 60 days a few years ago. I ate between 1200 and 1600 calories, and I dropped 38 lbs. You need rest days.

I weigh a lot of stuff, but now reading that serving sizes are varrying from what nutritional facts state, I am curious enough to weigh that prepackaged stuff too instead of just taking the labels word for it.

Whoop there it is! 18 lbs down this morning.

Yep, I got back on track since first posting this. I've lost 19 lbs since the beginning of the year and 16 of that since May 1st. I'm working on ten pound goals at a time. I'm still eating the same thing every day at the same time cuz its my plan not to stray into menu problems. I started walking a mile which took me 45…

I really don't know. I know that I am eating almost the same thing every day at the same time of day. I log every calorie, and I don't cheat. I have not eaten out at a restaurant or take out since before May 1st, and I only ate dinner at my friends house twice. So few of times that I can remember both. I've been walking at…

Update: I've been logging all my meals and walking everyday for the past five weeks, and I've shed 15 pounds and improved on walking one mile a day to as many as four - five a day a few times a week and then a mile or so the remaining days. Started logging at 1600 to loose a pound a week, and I was eating way too much and…

Update: it has now been 5 weeks since I started logging meals. I've lost 15/pounds so far, and have had to throw out bras, pants and shorts because they were too big in the waist and around the ribs. I was walking a mile every day which was once around the local pond and that took about 45 minutes, and this week I've…

I'm also using the scanner function for barcodes on food, and I have a digital scale that measures in grams and ounces. I weigh everything and log everything. I'm careful about not over estimating my exercise burned calories, and I keep an eye on my goals page on here so that I'm accurately picking my activity level. Maybe…

I dropped my calories because I only work two days a week. Those are ten hour days where I do heavy lifting and deliveries from 8 am to six pm. On those days, I can eat 1600 or whatever I feel like I need for energy, but the other five days, I just stay home; and, don't need as much energy. I eat at 8, 10, 12, 3, 5, and…

Update: it has now been three weeks since I started logging my meals. I've lost twelve pounds, I think. I've been walking almost every day for about 45 minutes. I discovered that 1600 calories was more than enough food to satisfy me after the cravings for junk food slowed down. I've cut my calories back to around 1300 and…

It is sabotage when you tell someone that you already have your food planned out as well as the times that you plant to eat. Then they suggest some irrelevant food, and you say "I just said that I already have my meals planned out", and they say " I heard you, I just didn't care", and you say "well, I don't care about your…

Ya, and while I'm at it, can I go back to the weight I was before I started slacking again and gained my 40 lbs back from two years ago?

I wanted to get away from information overload and make it simple so I bought mostly things that don't need cooked, and spaced them out in the day on my 1600 calorie goal. I'm eating almost the same thing everyday and walking just do simplify things, and it is helping.

Why don't you try eating all your calories back for six weeks, and see if you're still losing at the end of the six weeks. If you are still losing, don't mess with it. If your not losing, try eating only a portion of them back for the next six weeks. Figure out where you really are.

OK, everyone. I went back to all these things suggested here. I am also eating back all of my exercise calories as well as planning my meals in advance. I'm logging all my food and exercise not exceeding my calorie goal.

Thanks, everyone for the responses. I have a huge mental block right now. I can only focus on one thing at a time whether it be work, working out, problems or whatever. I think I am going to have to get rid of all the distractions again to get back in my groove. About three years ago, I got rid of computer games and…

This did help. I've gone to the link and started there. Thank you.

I know there's more to it than that. Who do I look to learn how to train? I'm in rural Idaho, and there's a Golds gym, but I don't see a following for anything close to body building for women, and I've always thought that what the way to get it. Maybe, I'm wrong, and under the wrong impression.

I did two rounds of the 30 day shred back to back about three years ago. The results were stunning, but beware of one thing. I was getting bored with 30 day shred and decided to do ripped in 30 afterwards too. Ripped in 30 turned out to be too difficult for me, and I got derailed from exercising all together. I should have…

I started using a preworkout powder this week, and I noticed that it has helped me focus, get through the workouts and my stamina has improved. Also losing seven pounds has helped get through the cardio.

I'm feeling better, the pants are getting looser and I haven't had any junk food or fast food for six days.

Hang in there. I'm only on day six, but I'm gonna finish even if it takes me twice as long!

I did a pass on 19 of the Shr d days this month, but am happy to report that I was able to finish day five of level one after having set backs this month. I am happy to report that I have been soul searching and pinpointed what is driving my commitment to succeed now. I've passed on all temptation in the past for days that…
