eat an apple right before bed, they have a ton of fiber and will help tide you over through the night.

its okay to give in once in awhile otherwise you'll go crazy and really binge. now you know how much your favorite snack is, can you find a way to make it healthier? otherwise eat a smaller portion of it.. if we have to give up all the food we love then what's the point? enjoy the little extras, and treat yourself once in…

I understand what you're going through I have the same struggle, but this time around I have decided no more diets! I am officially making a lifestyle change. I don't want to deny myself all of the guilty pleasures for the rest of my life. I can't. I know my down falls and I've accepted that, if I want Mcdonald's I'm going…

I agree about the playlist... get some music that really gets you going. I like Linkin Park or anything really hard and angry. It helps set my pace and pushes me to keep up. But I find when i set a goal it helps out too, or find something else you like to do like kickboxing or zumba. There are so many different things we…

I know when my husband was deployed I did the same thing. I went and worked out for a couple of hours every day and then I would take each of my dogs on a 2 mile walk/jog. Mainly what I was doing was keeping myself busy and focused on something other than him being gone. Once he gets back and your routine changes again,…

Have you looked at the book Eat This, Not That? It helps you decide on healthier alternatives on the stuff we love so we can still have pizza and starbucks but gives you different choices. I like reading it so I can remind myself I still get all the yummy stuff but i can get it with lower calories.... And don't forget…

Make sure you are eating lean meats like chicken and turkey, watch what kind of carbs you eat. Make sure you focus on whole grain pasta and breads. Also try finding a healthy peanut butter. Its very filling and gives you protein.

Instead of salt use spices, they add a lot more flavor and then you don't worry about the sodium and it's really good on french fries and vegetables. I like using different stuff like garlic, italian seasoning, there's a parmesan one that i like from mccormick. if you look at the spices you can find a ton of different…

i notice i get really hungry after my work outs. I started getting granola bars and apples and peanut butter. Watch how much you eat of it but they are very satisfying especially the chewy granola bars with chocolate, i like the 90 calorie ones.

what are you drinking? a lot of calories come from things like juice, milk, and sodas. cut those out and drink lots of water. also lay off the beef and start eating ground turkey instead. Fruits are good for you but watch how many you eat they contain a lot of sugars and carbs. Also, try switching up your exercise routine.…

start using ground turkey instead of beef, you can cut a ton of calories out, i love taco salad. i make it a buffet so everyone can put what they like on it. Start using black beans too, they have a ton more fiber and are a lot better than pinto beans. I like the philadelphia cooking creme, it's really good and comes with…

I work in the retail world and I'm short and stocky. I never thought I would be able to pull them off but it all depends on the type of skinny jeans you're trying on. Are they the jeggings, or actually skinny jeans. I have a couple of pairs and I love them. I like the ones with a lot of stretch in them. It really helps to…

One thing i found that has really helped me a lot is pre-planning. I'll cook up some chicken or ground turkey and that's my go to, I also keep the frozen steamers bags of veggies in my fridge. That way I can take them to work with me and i have a meal ready to go. I really like the bags of salad too. You have to watch your…

I keep a water bottle with me at all times, I usually like something that has some type of measurement on it. That way I can see all day where I'm at. I have a friend who barely drinks any water and it really helps her to get the crystal light packs with some flavor. She has a tendency to drink more when she's drinking…
