Well done. It is so hard to start it going, but once it does the feeling is fantastic.

QUOTE: Good for you! What is it that you are doing? Started working out during my lunch hour at work every day (actually only getting 30 minutes of a workout). I use the ellipitical for cardio days (3x/week)) and then strength training/weights 2x a week(with 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down...either elliptical or stationary bike). Someone gave me a link to a website where I can pick what muscle I want to work out and it'll show me exercises to do with the free weights that'll target that area. Its really cool. http://health.msn.com/fitness/fit-zone I've never used free weights before but its really empowering for me 
Just generally watching my calorie intake. A Normal Day: Multigrain flake cereal (Walmart brand...$1.68/box) and yogurt for breakfast, Slimplicity shake for lunch (only 90 calories and it has 10 grams of proteins), and decent food for dinner. (chicken, veggies, rice, mashed potatoes...all in moderation of course) Snacks ALL DAY LONG lol. Light Pringles, applesauce, diced pears, chewy granola bars, popcorn, Lance 4 pack of vanilla creme or Nekot peanut butter crackers after my workout. Monday through Friday I'm great at keeping everything in check....I'm horrible on the weekends though...trying to work on that.

I started out that way --- good Mon - Fri, horrible on the weekends. I figured being good 5 days a week was better than no days a week, and truly it was. I still lost weight. Eventually, I got tired of my own sabatauge on the weekends and started doing better. I still don't count calories on weekends, but I mentally monitor what I'm eating better.
Congrats on the first 10!

That's so great! Congrats!! It just dawned on me that I past the 10 lb mark. All with the fabuloius help of this site. I'm hoping for another 12 or so by Christmas. Man, this time of year is tough, but it's so empowering to be able to pass up bad stuff. Some days are easier. Weekends are so hard! My family is being very helpful and encouraging. Good luck for contiuned success!! I hope the next 10 melt off just as quickly for you! Before you know it, you'll blink and it'll be gone too!

If you get a craving, go for it as a little reward, just dont go overboard. It helps to keep down the cravings during the week to remind yourself about the weekends. But remember, if you eat it, log it. Good Job and Good Luck on the rest of your journey
