WATER
This is the hardest thing for me. Drinking water.. It has been my entire life. I'm one of those people who can have my meals without a beverage at all. Even after a vigorous workout, I never drink a full water bottle I don't know why.. my mother is the same way.. however, I know how important it is to constantly drink…

BEATS
Does anyone wear the wireless beats or other brand while working out. I don't mean earbuds I mean the big headphones. I love earbuds for the size but the beats are so great for when I'm running.

The best way to track when eating at a restaurant
I do my best to track correctly but I know I will never be exact. However it is easiest to break up each piece of the meal? If I log it as (flounder almondine) for instance then I see all different brands come up. So how do I log this.. flounder then almonds with butter sauce?

A movie theatre at my gym..
I joined a gym that has an actual movie theatre...theatre speakers etc. and they replaced the movie stadium seating with cardio machines. Quite cool.. definitely makes time go quickly. I think it's a fabulous idea. It's just one of the cardio rooms they have. Thought it was interesting and I use it when a good movie is…

Two pounds a week? Reasonable?
This is my goal. I know sometimes weight loss can suddenly halt. However, is this considered reasonable? I know if you weigh less it's harder to say two pounds a week. Of course this is only if you are eating right and exercising. I know it takes so much to lose one pound..but I am determined to do this..

Sodium
Trying to stay away from carbs. So when I look for snacks or filling meals They are usually something with too much sodium. Example. Pickles, or soup. Chicken broth. What other snacks could I chose??? Cheese has too much fat etc.

Family support? do you have any?
I do not. My husband has no intentions of trying to eat healthy. He will eat chips, cookies, cake etc all the time. It's much more of a difficult chore to have willpower when the pantry is filled with junk. I try all the time to beg him to either hide the stuff or not buy it.. but NO he still does. I haven't touched…

Ouch that was difficult
I'm Italian. Our tradition in our family is pasta every Sunday. Italian bread. Cheese etc I made it for my family. I had a salad. Ouch.

If you're not hungry enough to eat an apple.. you're not hungry enough
I read this statement in a magazine and believe it 100% Apples are fine.. however, if I'm bored and just want to eat.. I don't choose apples. So, I'm sticking to this.. if I really need to eat.. and an apple seems delicious.. then I know I can eat. With this I tend to eat healthy because I'm hungry enough to do so..…

When you are always invited somewhere..
hubs and I go out a lot.. we have a lot of friends and are always doing something. Whether it's a tailgate party, fancy restaurant, party at a friends house etc. HOW THE HECK do I find the willpower to control my food intake?

Snacking
I do very well all day .. then around 4pm I could eat my right arm. It's too early for dinner so a snack is usually ok. I would love some ideas for filling snacks. Sometimes I have english cucumber dipped in salsa, or carrots and hummus. Unfortunately, these are healthy yet not as filling. I don't want carbs, but would…

It may sound silly but it helps me..
2 years ago I was in the best shape ever. I had worked out.. started running 3-4 miles a day and ate right.. so needless to say I was toned and in the dress size I wanted etc. well it lasted for a bit but then had a stressful setback which led to less gym time and unhealthy eating which of course caught up with me. Well…

It takes a commitment but it works!
MEAL PREP. I started this last week and I must say although it's time consuming for one day it's worth it for the week. I get healthy meal prep ideas from PINTEREST and it really helps to stay focused and not overeat. Make meals and set up in containers (portion control) freeze and they are ready!!! I usually take a Sunday…

Question about logging in your exercise
I go to the gym 5-6 days a week and workout for 2 hours. Running included in this. When I log I put the running in the cardio then add strength training. My daily goal is 1200 calories when the exercise is added MFP gives me more calories to consume for the day. I get that.. but I want to keep it at 1200.. I can't set it…
