It's tough in the beginning but when you get past the 'being hungry' all the time, you feel much better!
But the trick is that you need to eat healthy AND you NEED to eat every 2 to 3 hours. AND WATER is essential - approx 100oz a day is ideal, but you work your way up to that.
I believe on Saturday I drank 140+ ounces of water!!! Probably good cuz it stopped me frm drinking alcohol. ;(

I'm almost following the same meal plan guide-lines my personal trainer gave me 7 yrs ago. I was in great shape 1yr after our son was born.

Sugars yes. And I don't eat much in the Carbs area becuz they make me crave bad sugar foods!!! Fat I haven't been paying attention to all that much. I just need to start some, any activity. ANY activity will help me continue to loose anywhere frm 2 to 4 lbs a week.
Thanks for all the motivation!!

I'm not going to be able to weigh in today, no scale at home and I was in and out of the office all day. No worries though I'm certain I've gained weight LOL

I'm confident I'm a gainer. I kind of tried to eat right the past 5-6 days but it just didn't work out. Fish and Chips, Hot Pretzel Bites, Ahi Poke, Crab Cakes....and that was at restaurants. At the show it was chips and salsa, hotdogs, and beer. I did eat a turkey wrap Friday for lunch though :D

Ahi Poke is healthy. So one item was good. Keep up the good work!

Holy cannoli, that's awesome!

Well....we still have the majority of people still hanging in there with continued progress and commitment toward their weight loss goals.

We did not have official weigh-ins this week from HotBoat or Tishimself (2nd week) but everyone else continues to make progress.

The weeks big loser was Jersey Girl who continues on relentlessly toward her goal and who has lost more than 20 lbs since Thanksgiving.....Way to go:partyguy:.

Eli continues to lead the women with continued progress but Wendi is really hanging in there.....all the ladies in this challenge should be proud of your continued commitment......hang in there it is worth all the effort you are putting into it. :thumb:

Tishimself remains in a strong second place even though he hasn't posted in 2 weeks.......wonder if he's sandbagging us :headscratch:....only time will tell.

Hang in there everyone......it gets warmer each week and you are all getting slimmer (Except GRADS of course) with swimsuit weather in sight :D

Mostly portion control, coupled with lots of exercise and calorie counting. He's extremely competitive, by the way. :D
