I workout 4- 5 days a week usually and burn roughly 4400-4700 cal weekly doing so and log religiously. On the weekends I eat whatever I want within reason meaning for me usually a pizza but that's about as far as I "stray". Logging and eating somewhat right has become a way of life for me but I never regret that pizza on…

I just told myself NO MORE EMPTY CALORIES!! I use to be a litre a day soda drinker and just gave it up in an instant once I made a true commitment to getting myself into shape. I have no desire to return to the dietary habits I once had......eating pizza 3 nights a week, pound bag of peanut m&m's....etc......thought i was…

You have great determination and courage....yes, tomorrow is a new day which is a great gift to be given. No one is perfect just do your best to learn from each experience your given.

No doubt about it....dieting has to be a lifestyle change to be successful in the long term. As for me I just explain to people that no I'm not dieting I'm changing my dietary habits and that usually suffices. I know what it means to me regardless if they "get it"....:smile:

Did my first weigh-in this morning and have lost 5 pounds my first week. Has been a tremendous help being able to monitor exactly what my intake is. Cutting out the soft drinks and also portion control have been key along with the committment to do so which isn't always gonna be easy for me I'm sure but feeling great about…

I've experienced the same thing as you in the past. Took my metabolism a couple weeks to adjust to my new diet. There is an excellent post on this forum somewhere by a nutritionist that explains this is great detail.

I will do and thank you so much.

A co-worker/friend turned me on to the my fitness pal Iphone application a couple weeks ago. It has already helped me tremendously by my being able to now easily monitor what I'm eating. What a shock it was to me to find how poorly my diet actually was and the 20 or so lbs. that I've "mysteriously" put on are no longer a…
