Sorry ladies I have been busy all day and did not have a chance to post earlier...I am finally sitting down so let the 2nd weight loss club meeting commence!!!
I thought today it would be good to talk about what we do to help change our eating behaviors...
some of my personal favorites (that I follow whenever I diet) are:
1. Never skip meals...your body can go into starvation mode and actually hang on to fat rather then get rid of it. I try to eat every 3 hours, about 5-6 meals a day.
2. Use smaller bowls and plates..it will make you feel like your eating more
3. Store clothing that is too big somewhere where you will not be tempted to fall back into old habits ...don't allow yourself to put the larger clothes on.
So ladies what do you do to help aid your weight loss?
Also include your start weight: weight this week: goal weight: (only if you feel comfortable doing so)
'Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.'
Have a good week ladies

Re: Monday Weight Loss Club!
I snack on good stuff, try to make it a protein and carb every 3-4 hours. Then I don't eat after 8pm. Usually earlier but that is my main cutoff!
I also make appointments with myself to go to the gym. This way I feel like I'm letting someone down if I don't make it the gym. Oh and spin classes are a miracle for me!!! My legs look awesome for once!!!
start weight: 177 weight this week: 158 goal weight: 135
I had a rough week last week, I did a lot of stress eating but still kept up my journal and ww points counting - even that day that hit 46 pts! I feel as though I have more motivation this week... and more time to hit the gym. Thanks all!
edit: In order to help myself I bring my lunch, and only what I can eat that day. I've been getting almonds & pop chips to keep at my desk and bringing my own coffee and soy milk (can't drink regular milk) to work so that I don't have to spend $$ on something that I don't know for sure what just went into it.
so disappointed in myself but i feel like im always constantly doing something and exercise falls to the bottom of the list
i did zumba today- 1 hour of cardio!
ETA: I went food shopping and bought all healthy foods
the battle is in the grocery store girls! if you don't have bad foods in your home, you can't eat them!
and all the healthy stuff I bought...I make and bring to work, instead of ordering bad things!

Re: Monday Weight Loss Club!
I thought I had a good week last week but I guess I managed to cheat almost everyday!
Start weight: 125 Current weight: 125 Goal: 115
Things that help me stick to my diet: 1. I bring my own lunch pretty much everyday and have a small container but pack enough to keep me satisified. 2. I snack on proteins through out the day to keep me full 3. Drink lots of water or green tea 4. I randomly try on clothes from 2 years ago that I couldn't fit into anymore and see if I can squeeze myself into it as motivation
