I have lost ALL control when it comes to eating the chocolates and cookies at the office, at the holidays parties, etc!!!
Anyone else looking at throwing in the towel with dieting the rest of this year and starting fresh on Jan 1 ????
I need a jump start diet to look forward to the 1st of the year ... share your secrets ????

Re: 07ers going on diets the 1st of the year !!!
Nutrition is my thing...If you are craving sweets...carry a bar of DARK chocolate on you rather then milk chocolate or any other type of sweet. Dark chocolate will curve your craving and its also high in antioxidants which is extremely important!! If you are hungry and want to snack....special k snacks are great..also cut up veggies and fruit in the beginning of each week and keep it in your fridge...with your favorite fat free low sugur dip. Sugur is very bad...and it causes rapid wieght gain, try to avoid labels that say fat free....most of them add sugur to taste and its worse then fat. yogurts can be tricky in this way....Oatmeal with raisins in the morning is excellent and filling (AVOID SUGUR)...anything high in fiber is great it should keep you full. Then for lunch this is whenyou should have your protein and good carbs...chicken sandwich on whole wheat with lettuce and tomato with pickles. For dinner this should actually be lighter then your lunch. Eating dinner at any time is okay...its actually a myth thatyou cant eat right before bed. your body is stillburning calories while you sleep. DInner you should have vegies along with a good carbs to give you energy for the next day. Tea is very very good for you, loose teas and even loose diet tea, is healthy and curbs your appetite. Good luck!!! ANY questions feel free to fm

I wish I could through in the towel and start fresh Jan. 1st. I am on meds and if I eat too much bad stuff I get sick. We will call it intestinal discomfort . So I am very good about sticking to my good carb low fat diet. I follow a mofified South Beach. Otherwise I pay the price and so does Fh (we only have 1 bathroom )
I hear ya..I got diagnosed with crohn's over the summer, so if I eat too much bad stuff, I feel the pain.
Yay! Another Crohn's patient!! I think that makes 4 of us on the boards so far!! (I'm sick & twisted- I know)

I haven't gained a pound, but I'm not eating healthy AT ALL!!! I feel sluggish eating so much sugar, but I can't resist right now. Cookies are comforting! I'm starting the New Year with the first 2 weeks of South Beach

Re: 07ers going on diets the 1st of the year !!!
I'm definitely not dieting- just trying to get healthier.. if I put on more mass because of muscle I will be okay with that.. I just want to feel better & be in shape!!!
Yeah i'm riding this train!!! I started my diet yesterday. I am watching what I eat and not eating any cr@p brought into work. Since I am going to be upstate for the holidays I am going to the gym as soon as I get back. My first week I am doing my routine but very lightly and then come Jan 1st is all I have to do. My brother is keeping an eye on me and when I lose motivation I have to call him in north carolina so he can give me a pep talk. He's awesome but he will kick my butt when he comes up for the wedding and I haven't lost at least 25-30 lbs.

Re: 07ers going on diets the 1st of the year !!!
I've lost 10 lbs on WW. I had recently gained like 4 back, but just lost it again.. I'm only 4 lbs away from my wedding day weight goal. So I'm eating everything in moderation. If I eat bad 1 day a week, it will not make you gain back all the weight. You just start fresh the next day. Xmas eve, and Xmas day will be bad days. But after that its back to bein good.
By the way, Equinox in Woodbury has an amazing dance class. And I was a dancer all my life. I love the hip hop. I take that once a week. It's great!!!

I joined the gym about 3 weeks ago and that is going well. Once the holidays are over I will be going on a hard core diet.

Its back to Weight Watchers for me!!!
I know I can do this plan, I have done it before .... lost 30 lbs 4 years ago but then gained it back. Last year I lost 20 lbs, but only gained 1/2 of that back.

Re: 07ers going on diets the 1st of the year !!!
I will start my diet in a few weeks(once I start my new job)..the reason for that is because at the job I am currently in its impossible to eat healthy...I go to work at 9:30am and sometimes get home as late as 9pm...all there is to eat at work is pizza, chinese..or Mcdonalds...eh. And once I get home its so late..and I eat whatever is in sight. At my new job my hours will be shorter..I actually have a lunch break (so I plan on making my own food) and I get home early enough to make myself a healthy meal...

Re: 07ers going on diets the 1st of the year !!!
I started trying to eat better and have gone walking each day the last few weeks and have lost 5 pounds, but it has been extremely hard with all these holidays. Now I'm going to try and be much stricter and watch what I eat. I'm joining Weight Watchers in two weeks with my dad when he gets back from a cruise that he is on now. Anyone go to the Lynbrook one?
