Totally!
Its interesting having yourself eat 5 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones. Its going to be interesting to watch the differences in my body and mood. That work out today killed me, Im already ready for bed! and its not even 9.

it is such a habit for me it just never changes...Although I didn't get in as many meals today I was running errands so much
I went to the gym with my dh we had Spin Class this morning
Breakfast : banana
Lunch: Fibre One Bar
Dinner: I had Grilled chicken with Salsa wrapped in a Whole wheat Pita, bowl of cantalope
Snack : skipped
Snack Skipped
So not a good eating day for me

If they have Elevate Me! bars near you, you should check them out! They have a ton of protein and are a fantastic meal replacement. They fill you up quite nicely too between meals

I feel a bit like a contestant on the biggest loser. My body is SO sore haha. I always wondered if those people were just being complainers but they totally arent - my body is dead. But its good to know that it's progress

Good for you for actually doing something about it! I'm in the same boat. I could stand to lose about 25-30 lbs. I can lose weight so easily I just get lazy.
It goes quickly, but it also can pile on quickly if I don't watch myself.
As of now, I'm trying to cut out sugar and as many carbs as possible. I can't be unrealistic and say I'm going to stop cold turkey because I'll drive myself nuts. So.. last night I did make a burger for dinner (that's all I had in the fridge), but no bun! haha.. and a huuge plate of salad. I felt so much better afterward than if i would have eaten a bun, and had fries and what not. I did pick a few off my bf's plate, but none on mine!
Baby steps I guess.
But I did start doing some workouts on my OnDemand cable thingy. They have some good ones! The one I did a couple days ago was killer! my legs and butt are still recovering from all those lunges. feels good though.
I'm gonna try to keep up with this thread because I sure as hell could use some support and a swift kick in the butt if I start slacking.
Best of luck to everyone who's trying to drop the lbs! I know its hard, but completely attainable. I'm totally determined this time.. I usually start to get momentum but once i lose a few I fall off and then get frustrated with myself. So yeah, one day at a time... I AM GONNA DO THIS, DAMN IT!

^^ You can do it! Sometimes things get built up in our head and seem impossible. But once you get going on them you'll realize that they aren't impossible.
I'm on day 4 of my new lifestyle and I feel wonderful. I'm eating what I should be, I eat often but healthy and small portions

My personal trainer gave me the most intense thigh workout of my entire life.
She gets me to sit on a bench and then lift one leg in the air, and lift my entire body into a standing position using only that one leg on the ground - no arms.

Wow.. I just tried this, I can definitely feel it in my thighs and butt! Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna do more of these.
But I may wait another day or so because like I said those lunges killed me.. it was like, hold for 4 seconds, jump and switch legs, then 2 second reps, then 1 second! it was like doing lunge jumping jacks!
But I like the pain afterward.. makes me feel like I actually accomplished something, hehe.
While I'm at it.. here are a few links I can contribute if anyone is interested. I get these daily e-diets and Health.com emails and sometimes they have really good tips or exercise moves! Just a few I got today...

I'm going through something similar. I lost all my excess weight last year and was to the point that I was healthy and active.
Then I went with my boyfriend to Nebraska.
Do you know what's in Nebraska?
Yeah. Me neither.
Aside from flatlands and bad music there isn't anything. So to cure the boredom that prevailed for three months, I baked and cooked as a hobby.
And I ate everything I made. And it was too cold to go out and exercise.
So now I'm back in California trying to loose the 20 lbs I brought back as a souvenir, except now I'm chronically ill so rigorous exercise is out of the question and I'm a stress eater. So what's a girl to do eh?

You can do with it with a regular weight if you don't have kettlebells.
