This is super specific but I found that my weakest times were late afternoon before and while I was cooking dinner. I would snack on junk then on all the dinner ingredients and not be hungry by dinner but eat anyway. I found that I could snack on celery or red peppers with tzatziki, a Greek cucumber yogurt dip (spelled…

Keep up the good work! You can really see a difference everywhere!

This may not be the answer you want but I find that it is true for me....the less sugar I have, the less sugar I crave. If I have a little dessert after lunch then I want some after dinner. If I focus on fruits, veggies and protein then I have less sugar cravings. It takes a while to kick in but cutting down on sugar…

I have had these periods of control-less-ness, too. These are the times that I usually stop inputting my food into MFP. I don't want to know how badly I'm eating. I find that if I make myself log food, I get the control back. I've done the 3 piece of cake thing myself. Next time, make yourself log the 1st piece in then, if…

The right time is whenever you will do it consistently. Studies have found that morning exercisers are more likely to be consistent. Its easier for life to get in the way when you exercise in the afternoon or evening...a project at work runs late, you need to run errands, you are now too tired from the day, etc. Ultimately…

Yes, yes, yes. Unless you were drinking caffeine free soda you could be going through caffeine withdrawal. Stick it out though, you'll feel so much better once you don't drink that stuff anymore. I gave up diet soda myself so I'm speaking as someone who has been through it. Best of luck!

Nice work! Kind of funny...you baby is getting bigger while you get smaller!

Greek yogurt - Chobani has no fat and 14 grams protein. I even add almonds because I like the crunch and it's more protein. Veggie burgers - I like Morningstar Farms brand. They are an acquired taste but I've been a vegetarian for 20 years, they taste good to me and have a lot of protein. I also eat protein bars - Pure…

Protein bars. Compare bars and watch out for calories and sugar. I like Detour brand, lower sugar; 15g protein, 170 cal, 1g sugar. Also, for a few more calories, Pure Protein, 1.76oz bar; 20g protein, 200 cal, 3g sugar.

I started using one about 6 months ago and it didn't take long for someone to notice that I looked thinner in the hips/waist area. It is a hard workout, there isn't any rest period ( like going downhill while biking). My husband finds that he works out hard because you stats are right in your face and you know if you are…

Great suggestions above and remember that when everyone is smashed, you'll be able to slip in a water or a plain diet soda without anyone noticing. No one will know it's just diet soda and is missing the alcohol!

Hold onto this victory and remember your strength in this situation the next time you find yourself wanting fast food. You were strong once and you'll be strong again. Great job!

For a lighter lunch I like the high protein yogurt (like Chobani), fruit (raspberries are in season here) and granola on top. I get dairy, protein, and fruit all in one meal. The crunch of the granola makes it last longer and makes my mouth happy.

Tracking serving sizes and types of food is key. For a long time my husband was so wrong about how big (or small) a serving size actually is. He could also justify pizza and wings more often until he saw the fat and calories on line. My hubby's lost 60 lbs in the last two years and for him it's being involved in races. He…

I have loved (worn) mine so much I can no longer read the tag for the brand! Must be time for a new one. I went to a good running store and one of the female staff helped me picked out a good style and size. With her help, I tried on a lot of bras until I got one that was just right. Contact a running specialty store and…
