Vacation Plans
Now that it's summer and many are going on vacation how do you plan to stay on your journey? I just got back and I will admit it was tougher than I thought. At the beach where there were way too many buffets. For the most part I ate veggies first. They were all slathered in butter.... The whole thing was yucky. Glad to be…

How is the weekend going?
Given that it's our "first" holiday weekend of summer and all of the BBQs, parties, etc . how are you handling it? Since I'm out of town I went for an hour walk early. Saturday was a bit of a challenge but I planned today a bit better. Went to the store and purchased a few healthy items. I swear my friend's kids eat only…

Week 1 - Check in
How did your first week go? Successes? Challenges? Non-scale celebrations? The past week went well for me. I ate as I should, exercised as I should and I'm finally figuring out what foods keep me filling fuller longer. I weighed and measured and decided to reset my weight and measurement in MFP. I joined a killer boot camp…

Don't forget to log - if you bite it write it :-)
How does/has logging what you eat and drink help you lose weight? It has made me aware of what, how much, and why you I am eating. I'm not an emotional eater but I will eat if I'm bored. I think logging helps me cut down on mindless munching. On a week when my weight loss is not as I hoped or expected I can go back and…

Measure in addition to weighing
I've seen quite a few posts where there's frustration with the scale reflecting a small weight gain. Remember to also measure yourself so even when the scale is not reflecting weight loss you might very well be losing inches and gaining muscle which weighs more than fat.

Smoothies/Juicing
Does anyone juice or use smoothies as meal replacements or snack? I recently started using the Nutribullet after my dad and a friend of mine talked so much about it. It took me a few days to start but one thing I can say for sure is I've gotten really creative with making fruit and veggie smoothies. The best thing is that…
