FFS F/U

I went to the gym and reactivated my membership. I downloaded MyFitnessPal app on my iPod, which tracks my calories and tells me how many to eat each day to lose 10 lbs in 8 weeks (1200 calories). I'm headed to the gym tonight to get back into the kick-my-ass cardio class I was doing before I stopped. My mom picked up tons of healthy food. I've only had water, plus a cup of apple juice with breakfast. Thanks for your help and your support ladies. Cross your fingers that this weight comes off!

Don't forget to get all your vitamins in.

Good luck!  You can do it!

Don't go starving yourself, woman.

I just started back up today too! Good luck! Dont give up!

Oops I meant that as no cokes, no sweet tea. I had a healthy lunch

Just remember no food = no energy. Plus, if you starve yourself your metabolism goes down so you dont lose as much. Goodluck!!

Is the 1200 with or without work out. If you have a hard work out you need to eat more, so find out the high/low range you should eat to lose that amount and eat the high end on days you work out hard. If you dont, you pose the risk of starving!

Ok, good, glad you're eating   Giving up soda is hard!  I only drink diet, but I still know I should drink water instead.

Nebb, I don't know, but I am going to have an apple with peanut butter before I go, which combined with dinner will put me over my calories. But it will be ok.

Going over your calories by a little bit wont kill you, just be mindful of what caused you to go over today and try to do better tomorrow!

Kiki, it is. I have a headache! Mom fixed me some chai tea, but I didn't like it

Today, it was the big bowl of fruity pebbles before I tried on my dress. Tomorrow, Special K!

Whit, if you're craving something bubbly, try seltzer water with a little bit of lemon juice or just a splash of fruit juice. The caffeine headaches will go away before too long

I'm ok without the bubbly, just miss my caffeine!

They make Crystal Light with caffeine!  I used to have it in the morning before I got pg.  It's not a ton, but just enough to wake you up.  And it's strawberry and yummy.  :)

GL, whit, you can do it!

I weaned off of diet coke with green tea. Still has some caffeine, but not near as much. I found that aspartame makes me crazy and nervous, and I eat when Im nervous. The aspartame in all the diet coke I was drinking was actually causing me to eat more!! Im completely on green tea now. It took about 2 days for no more caffeine headaches.

I also do the seltzer water!! Tons of it, actually.

And I do allow myself 1 20oz cup of caffeinated hot tea in the morning, then it's all water etc from there.  I love the blueberry herbal tea I get, I think it's Celestial Seasons brand. I've gotten a lot of the girls at work hooked on it. No caffeine, good flavor, no sugar needed. That's one thing I like about the herbal teas is you don't need sugar in them.
