Hi!! Im maite, I am 5'6'' adn 155 lb. I am trying to loose 20lb, this is my first time in CC and I am motivated. The problem is that I am one of those yo-yo dieters, AND my weight fluctuates ridiculously even in the same day so its really hard for me to continue to be motivated. The other problem that I have is that I kinda dont like to work out, I love dancing and when I am at school I constantly train with my dancing team, however, I am living in nyc for the summer and my work takes away all the time i basically have.

A good advice I feel has always worked for me is to stop eating between meals. I find this incredible difficult cause i love food and snackies, however, i think that if I have a bottle of water next to me at crucial places (say, my desk, near my bed, next to the TV) then, I force myself to drink it. I have this rule, everytime you think about snacking, grab the bottle of water (next to you) and drink 3 zips.

Maria: is so funny you mention "evil food", my bf is incredible lucky, he is 6ft tall and 160lb (YES, he is only 5lb heavier than I am), has the perfect abs and does NOTHING! ... yup, NOTHING! he sits around and watches movies, so when we go eat, of course, he wants the alfredo pasta or the double quarter pounder. its hell.

Anyway, its great to be here, wish me luck!
