Any weight loss updates?

Kalei, when you want chocolate, try this.

Tell yourself, "I will wait 30 minutes and if I still really want the chocolate, I will get it then." I do that and usually after 30 minutes the craving has passed.

Also, I've read that it takes 3 weeks to break a habit. So if you can go 3 weeks without it, you're on a great path!

Wow!! Great idea!! I go crazy for a bit of chocolate!
I started following a 1200 calories diet, prescribed for me by a dietician. After 2 weeks I managed to get rid of 5 pounds! I am so proud and even MORE motivated now!!

I went on a self-inflicted diet of 1200 calories last July. I lost 26 pounds by November. I rely on a single hard boiled egg and three cups of coffee before noon, a 300 calorie prepared lunch and about 500 calories for dinner. I still get some chocolate, but just a couple of Hershey kisses instead of a candy bar. I wrote everything (and I mean everything!!) on a pad so I knew when I could afford a treat. I drink a lot of water, both with my meals and in between. I found that I like Wal-Mart brand of flavored water better than any other so I don't mind drinking a lot.

I am holding my weight steady but no longer "count". I can pretty well guess when I'm overdoing. My diet is heavy on vegetables, especially brocolli. Good thing I like vegetables.

I still go out every Saturday night and eat too much. When I get serious about dropping the next 10 pounds, I'll start counting again.

With summer here, I get outside and work off a few more calories. No regular exercises though.
