sounds like you might need some psychological help with that one if you can't recall doing it.. only other option I can think of put a lock on the fridge and make readily available a light fruit snack that you can grab ??

---

You can do it !

---

Good Luck!! You can do it :)

---

quick go for a walk

---

@Dana92484 LOL I went shopping instead, but it worked. :)

---

I am trying to keep mine at 1200 a day. Some days I go over, some days under but I keep an excel sheet going to show my average. Right now it's 1236.

---

how do I find out what my maximum (cal/day) is ???

---

@Nessie75 Go to http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/

---

@dajero1 Thanks for that website, that's a great tool!

---

Good Job! Keep up the good work! It is good to see your effort is paying off! It might work for me too!:)

---

YAY! Thats awesome!!

---

I've heard of this approach before, but your post put a different spin and name to it. Like it.

---

It sounds so good, I know that it must be the best way to eat! but having other member of family who will always want to have a nice meal at night.. plus family time... I will be eating both breakfast and Dinner like a king!

---

@knitkids999 Have you ever thought about eating your dinner on a smaller plate? Take one serving, don't finish anyone's food and don't go back for seconds; remember your plate should consist of majority vegetables/salad, 1 serving of lean protein (palm size) and a small amount of carbs!

---

What is that?

---

oh i forgot: please add me as a friend (;

Your weight fluxuates 5ish lbs just from drinking or eating or peeing. If you wanna be like 125 and your in the range of 125-130 that is your ideal weight. Like me, Ive been dieting 3 days and lost waaaay to much weight. But thats only because I was eating likeeee shytttttttt! But you were eating well and then took a holidy its going to be harder to lose the weight because your used to eating well. Try maybe an extra half hour of working out (a day), thatll help.

---

@snicole90 first of all: thanks for your reply :). the problem is i think i didn't really eat much more in holidays than i do at home. so ..i don't know why i put on weight. and an other thing: i come from austria and we count our weights in 'Kilogramm' so i'm not sure what you mean with the second sentences, are you able to say it in other words? Thank you for your help!

---

@snicole90 ah sorry, i read the 2. sentences an other time and now i understand what you wanted to say. :)

---

@ So for you it would be 3ish kilograms for you that your weight fluxuates :)

---

@snicole90 noo? woow :D good news. thx

---

Honey, its simple: you HAVE to eat less. Or exercise more. Or both. Doesnt matter if you do this already.

---

@popekroztropek just gaze at my food diary and and get an idea of this yourself :S. and i practice twice a week hard volleyball training .. so i don't know ..

---

The first few days were miserable for me also..hard to break years of bad eating habits. Just think of eating GOOD HEALTHY FOODS. I'm learning to like cucumbers, broccoli and such. 7-8 days without your sweets and you won't think about them so much anymore.

---

Also, keep sugar free gum in a kitchen drawer. Good Luck :)

---

@dajero1 Thanks :)

---

You should drink water. That stuff fills you up good, plus it's good for you too. And for chocolate you should just limit yourself to like 3 or 4 mini-bars a day.

---

@kenzasaurr Ive been eating the special K double chocolate bars.They tasteamazzzzing! So thats been helping alot. And I always drink alot of water, out of hab it.

---

I have a great answer for chocolate lovers, Nutella! Put on toasted multi grain bread....Yummy! try it!

---

what is nutella? where do I find it in the grocery store?

---

@dajero1 Nutella is a cocoa flavored hazelnut spread, you can find it where the peanut butter, almond butter,and honey at any local grocery stores.

---

sounds yum...I'll look

---

If your body feels like it's craving sugar you might also be dehydrated, so drink a big glass of water and then re-think whether you still want that chocolate! Also, don't think of it as a diet, think of it as you're eating healthier now and are going to feel better, live longer and best of all have a healthy glow! Embrace it!

---

@knitkids999 Nutella is delicious, but its very high in calories

---

@leah_estelle Its a diet for me, I really dont want to be doing it. I <3 my curves. But medically I have to lose the extra weight.

---

it is just like the peanut butter, you don't have to use 2 tbs to spread, you can use only 1 tbs on whole wheat bread or something.... It fills you up and no hydrogenated vegetable oil! ah-ha,I can just suck up the spoon!

---

@leah_estelle I like this philosophy.

---

I don´t think you need to feel hungry. You must eat every 3 or 4 hours. What you need to do is burn more cal.(doing exercise) and eat a litlle less. Don´t starve yourself and if you crave something: eat, but just a small piece.

---

@Rah_bertaz Got Ya! I will try that! I do yoga or Pilate 3 times /week and Zumba 2 times/week! Still Not losing weight!:(

---

Not hungry, just not so full you want to undo your pants.

---

You should eat smaller meals more often, which are low GI - stick to non-starchy whole foods (natural foods) which will keep you feeling fuller for longer as well. And don't forget to drink 2-3 litres of water a day too, especially with meals as this helps to fill you up as well as having lots of other benefits. To lose weight you need to be burning more calories than you eat - start off with your BMR (you can calculate on the internet) - this is the amount of calories you would burn each day just by lying in bed. Then ensure you are eating less calories than this/burning off calories through working out, and you will definitely lose weight!

---

you already have a great success. i'm still looking for my motivation ;o) great job!

---

Also down 5 pounds, doing this just over a week. Looking the lose another 25 by Thanksgiving. Let's do it together.

---

Well done you! That's brilliant! I've been doing this since I came back from holiday 18 July and I've lost 1 stone and 8 pounds (22lbs) and I used to watch inspiration video clips on youtube, watching peoples pictures of themselves losing loads of weight. I took pics of myself when I started and have taken more and the difference is amazing and I've made myself my own inspiration. I've made them into a slideshow. I recommend doing it! Good luck and keep it up!! x

---

I always slip. We're human..I slipped tonight taking random nibbles while making lunch for tomorrow...and I ate more than 2 bites of these delicious brownies. At least I know I'm putting in half the crap I was putting in my body before. Tomorrow will always be better!!!

---

Thanks Dana92484...This diary certainly does open your eyes to how much unessential "crap" we eat. I think I may limit the number of times a day I can eat, try to stop this eating one thing and immediately planning the next. Good Luck to me on that thought.

---

you seem to be very ambitious so i have no doubt that you soon will reach your ideal weight... i'll still keep my fingers crossed for you good luck :)

---

Glad to have you on the site. I, too, am becoming addicted. You can reach your goal. Looks like we may be diet buddies for quite some time. Good Luck.

---

Awesome,what kind of workouts do you do?

---

@snicole90 I've been going to the gym at least 3 days per week, and more whenever I can. I do at least 30 min. of cardio on a machine (stairstepper, elliptical, treadmill, etc.). I follow that by some ab work, then depending on time maybe some weight machines, maybe some free weights etc. So far, so good :)

---

@Khokhonut Good for you, Im so badly out of shape. Ive been taking Zumba, Yoga, and Pilates classes and I can barely get through them. (It kinda sucks.)
