I have thought about using instant cart for shopping so I don't cave to head hunger! I haven't had to do it yet, but it's in my back pocket.

Let's see...

1) I walk everyday before, during, and sometimes after work to hit my 5 miles a day goal.

2) I track everything on MFP, and weigh it as well.

3) Water is at 96oz a day and holding strong! (sometimes I might be in the 70oz but never lower)

4) Gym for weight lifting 3x times a week for a minimum of 30 minutes.

5) I'm doing low-carb maintenance now until Jan 2019, then I'm going to try for 5 more pounds.

6) My meals and snacks on on a time schedule during the week, I have to make sure I eat right on the weekend, that's my hard time.

7) A group of my friends and I check in with each other almost every day. Then at Thanksgiving through New Years we'll check in weekly to help each other keep on track.

8) Support group through a local surgeons office twice a month really helps me focus, both the people doing great and the ones struggling.

9) Meal prep and vitamins are done weekly on Saturday/Sunday.

10) I weigh in daily, it keeps me on track. ****ep losing and gaining the same 2.8 pounds..

Start small and build up. Last year when I started my goal was 4,000 steps 3 times a week. Now I'm at 12,250 steps (5 miles for me) every day of the week!

3) 4 meals a day on weekdays, 3 on weekends.

4) keep carbs less than protein totals

5) do not drink calories of any fashion

6) read & post here

7) log my meals on mfp
