I'm in the place you are. I have been eating badly for about 3 weeks now and all the weight gain seems to be coming at once. What's worse is I'm getting married in 6 months and want to look good in my dress! You would think that would be motivation enough, but i'm like "oh, i've got 6 months!" or i just think the weight is magically going to fall off at the end lol...

Is there a friend at school, home, or one here you can ask to be a buddy to? Someone to help keep you motivated when you feel like something bad?

I am going to start eating better on Monday - kind of like a Raw food diet only with protein from chicken/fish - and i'm going to buy a lunch box to keep with me all day, so whenever i'm hungry - i have to eat one of my healthy snacks from there and not go to the vending machine or a fast food place.

So i'm right there with you and hopefully we can get out of this rut soon! Good luck :)

Personally I go by the week. I'll try to aim for a 500-600 calorie deficit a day (i'm trying to lose a few pounds). But there will be one day a week where i won't count cals or will have 0 deficit. The next day i'll just try to eat healthy, but aim for a little higher deficit of 600-700 to make up for my day of not watching calories.

I have the same problem. I'm trying to drink more water, but even if i drink 20 oz a day i'll go to the bathroom a good 10-15 times :( I hate it. I'm just hoping that as i continue to up my water intake everyday, my body will just get used to it and i wont go as much.

i agree... cookies are my WEAKNESS - i can literally have 10 in one sitting! So having that splenda ad there makes me struggle the 30 times i log in here everyday :(

just last week i bought TOFU for the first time. I've only used half of it and it maybe be good mixed in spices, but i decided to try something i saw online. TOFU "Fries" - EWWWWWWW!!! They did not taste like french fries at all! The outside was partially hard/partially soft and the inside was rubbery... never again!

another creation to dip strawberries in (i use it for parties) is lemon or lime yogurt - usually the light kind - and mix it with some fat free cool whip. So it's like a cream cheese fruit dip only lighter :)

I totally understand where you're coming from. I once had a bf i couldn't trust and would snoop all the time because i felt i had to. I found out some pretty bad things that once i confronted him, he would lie about or find some way to get around it. Needless to say, the relationship didn't last very long.

Now I am with a great guy whom i trust very much. Just last week something did come up that i found and i asked him about it and he explained and everything is now fine. If you do talk to your bf you have to be careful in your wording - how talk to him. Tell him your sorry for snooping but you saw something and it bothered you a little. Don't make too big a deal about it or don't get angry/mad at him because then he'll get defensive. I am just like you and wouldn't be able to let it go until i asked. Maybe wait a week and see if it's still bothering you. Then if it is, ask him about it. It is probably nothing. Guys are guys. By the things you said, he sounds like a good guy and if you trust him then he's probably not the kind of guy that would cheat on you. Good luck :)

I just ordred my ChaLean extreme and it came in the mail today! My weights should come by Monday - i'm so excited!

woo hoo - thanks!! SMMCA - how do you figure out those percentages? Is it just easy math or is there a website?

I gotta confess... i had spaghetti last night AND tonight for dinner - urgh.... i have not been doing well these past 2 days!! Gotta step it up a notch! 

  That's a great idea to make that list. I had made "motivational" sayings and posted them up in my room. Things like:

"Think of how you'll feel afterwards." 

"There's no food that tastes as good as losing weight feels."

"Eat to live, don't live to eat."

   And that was like a month ago, and now i've totally forgot about them lol! But i'm finally starting to see results from the past 3 weeks of working out. Last week was my first week of really "healthy" eating. I know i HAVE to keep it up, otherwise my life will be like the past 2 years... and i'll NEVER have a healthy lifestyle.

Mind if i join too?! I need a good challenge. I'm in my cousins wedding 2 weeks from tomorrow!

The tapping thing he is doing is called EFT... my mom is a psychologist and she's actually been using this on clients for about 2 years. Not for weight loss, but about other issues such as rejection, abandonment, abuse, anything really! The tapping part of it ISN'T hypnosis. It's about aligning the body and mind. It sounds weird i know, but i've done it!

I've used it on myself for issues of rejection from my dad. I actually think it works. My mom has had lots of success with it for clients. I'm not sure about weight loss, never tried it!! Maybe i should?? I told her about it and she's gonna watch it sunday night and see if this guy's for real.
