  • It's not hard to get proper nutrition with 1200 calories a day. Under 1000 is asking for trouble but considering at 30lbs overweight I burn 2200 a day, that means I have 1000 calorie deficit. You have to burn 3500 calories to loose a pound. At that rate you're losing about 1.5 pounds a week. Sample 1200 calorie menu. Hard…

  • Well, I'm not far into *this* journey but I've made it more than once and one thing I've really beat into myself through mistake after mistake is the choices I make today will decide the life I have tomorrow. Stop living in the moment.

  • One alternative to sweeteners is fruit. Add some lemon, frozen raspberries, blueberries or strawberries to your water. Drink it while the fruit is still fresh and frozen. It helps. Iced tea sweetened with honey is another option, iced tea is water based. I like crystal light peach iced tea "on the go" packs for when I'm…
