Oh I am so in...I got married in May and was doing so well losing weight, going to the gym and just being active...well needless to say my Hubby and I went on our 2 week honeymoon and I completely fell off the bandwagon, that was 4 months ago. When I got married I was 140 (wanted to be 125-130) but that did not happen. Gained 10 lbs on my honeymoon, so I went up to 150 and I am still carrying around that extra baggage. So total, I would like to lose 20-25 lbs. I am looking for support and motivation to get to my goal. What worked for me is eating 6 times a day. I know when I was losing weight, I was taking in around 1200 calories ( I know, that is absoutely nothing) but I would like to try that route again. I eat breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Water is key as well is exercise. I am going to try to stay away from sugars too! I never thought to use raw sugar..that is the brown stuff, correct? It is hard, because it seems like sugar is in everything we eat. Another thing I was doing was adding Metamucil to my diet and I was losing a good amount due to the extra fiber. Plus it just made me feel better. I am going to start taking that again too. I need to get into the gym and starting working my butt off.
What does everyone feel the best breakfast food is for losing weight....is it eggs and maybe some fruit? I eat Multigrain cheerios a lot and feel that I could be eating something better for losing weight.
Thanks for starting this thread...I actually started a Food Diary yesterday, which helps me track what I am putting in my mouth. It is scary to see what you have ate all day when it is written down on paper....uugh!
