I bought a scale ($30) that you can build your profile on, set your goal weight, it gives you're your Body Fat #'s as well. Seeing the numbers change, not necessarily the weight, but the Body Fat is motivational. It shows although your trying to eat right, you can see results in your numbers, after the first week, I was so excited, I lost 1.5 pounds and my body fat dropped from 31.2 to 30.1 I knew if I could keep it up, I could do it.
I focused my diet on higher protein foods (2 boiled eggs or 6 slices of deli ham) for snacks. If you like tuna fish, lots a protein to last a long time in the day. Drink lots of water. I bought the Mio additive to my water, makes it easier to drink more. (Lemon or Fruit punch flavors are my favorite).
If I can do it, anyone can do it. I am male, but seeing numbers change is where I have been motivated the most. Wish you the will power, because I know if you can do it for two weeks, you will see results.View Thread

Lunch is normally Tuna with some crackers or ham sandwich with no mayo or a salad with grilled chicken. Just giving you some ideas that have worked for me, other than the smoothies, that's the only thing that I bought to see if it works. Fruits, veggies are normally afternoon snacks and when I get home, I normally eat a regular supper what ever my wife cooks. I just make sure I eat one serving and not seconds.
I strive to walk 3 miles in 1 hour on the treadmill and try to do that 4 times a week. If you have a smart phone, try the app "MyFittnessPal" it is something that I started with 7 weeks ago, it tracks my calorie intake, excersize and water intake. Shows your progress. I find it motivating seeing 1 pound gone, make me want to try for two. I am currently on 1530 calories a day but understand my walking gives me about 400 calories to off my daily quota so I normally have another healthy snack trying to keep my net calories at or below my daily goal.View Thread
