  • I had two minor setbacks on June 13 and June 16. I traveled to Brazil for business. I successfully said NO to all sweets on the flights... But at dinner on June 13, I CAVED and had a slice of chocolate cake. I immediately felt guilty. For the rest of our stay at the hotel, I had fruit (watermelon and pineapple) when I felt…
  • One little slip up won't bring you down, you can easily get back on track! I feel great overall! Cutting out soda has not been as difficult as I thought it would be. Same with candies/sweets in general. I am much less irritable and bloated feeling. And the steady weight loss is great :) I am traveling this week and the…
  • Yes, you are making the right choice! The cake may sound good, but just think about how you'll feel afterwards! You'll feel so guilty and disappointed for caving in.

  • I feel the same way! It has not been as difficult as I expected.

  • A Fresh Market just opened up near me, so I'll have to check it out! Thanks :)
  • That sounds so good! Like a better-for-you version of a Reese's cup. Where do you find the Stevia sweetened dark chocolate?
  • I'm a bit late in responding, but the first two days have gone great! The only "artificial" sugar that I have comes from a sugar-free dark chocolate pudding that I eat after dinner. This has only 4 g of sugar alcohol. Other that this tiny treat, no sugar AT ALL. No candy, no soda, no ice cream, no baked goods etc. As for…
  • Hi, everyone! I'm becca_and_cats, joined this group after reading a /r/loseit post. My weight loss journey has been very tumultuous. I stick to a very healthy regimen during the work week (healthy food, gym), but I destroy all of that hard work during the weekend (eating very unhealthy, not working out). I know my…
  • becca_and_cats F, 22. I gained ~20 during college, and now that I've graduated it's time to start fresh! Feel free to add me, and I'll return the request!
