Guidelines:
I know that sounds cliqued, but it really does work. Seeing what you've consumed in a day really can change your motivational process for sticking to your plan. I never realized how many calories were in a Non-Fat Iced White Mocha until I logged them in my Diet Calendar. WOAH!!! If you can't count the calories, you shouldn't eat it.

Weeks 1 to 12
Guidelines:
You need to keep hydtrated at all times. Nothing is worse than doing everything right on your diet only to find that you're stalling or even gaining all because you haven't consumed enough water. Keep a check list of all the glasses of water you need to drink every day so that when you have a glass, you can physically check it off your list, this helps you get in the habit of drinking more water, and remembering how much you've drank. I bought a big water bottle from Walmart that has a pull out sippy part that's attached to a straw. Perfect for driving or whatever. Also, it holds 32oz, so I know that if I have at least 3 full bottles worth, I'll be golden for the day. If you work out, you should increase the amount of water you consume.

Everyone does it. It happens. Stress. Cravings. Birthday parties. Don't beat yourself up about it. The way I deal with cheating is to make sure I have at least one full 32oz bottle of water right after the nasty cheating has occured. This does two things: First; when you fill your tummy that full of water, you don't want to put anything else in there, thus reducing the chance of cheating even more. Second; the more and faster you get water into your system after cheating, the better chance you have of flushing the majority of the calories out of your system before they have a chance to affect your body. DON'T USE THIS AS A FORM OF WEIGHT LOSS!!! This is only for those occasions that you have that piece of cake at Aunt Marge's 60th birthday, or that ice cold pop at the ball game, or even that cocktail after watching Sex and the City 2. All in all, don't freak out if you've cheated a little.

Weeks 1 to 12
Guidelines:
Ever notice how your back or knees hurt when you get out of bed every morning? Try moving around more. Whether it be a nice walk through the park, or a jog on the beach. Even sunset yoga on a dock, or a good, blood-pumping kick-boxing class. Whatever you want to do to move around more, DO IT!! Take those belly dancing lessons, enroll in that Tennis class, buy that Wii Fit; just move more. You'll feel better in the mornings while burning calories!

Weeks 1 to 12
Guidelines:
Set up some mini goals to hit along the way, as well as a big goal-weight goal. These things help keep us motivated, and the mini goals help us give ourselves positive reinforcement that we ARE getting there. My best friend and I have a mini goal set up that when we both are FINALLY under 200 lbs, we're going skydiving! One of my long-term goal weight treats is a week in Vegas with my mom. She told me that once I reach my goal weight, and maintain for 6 weeks, she'll take me to Vegas since I've only been once when I was 10. Another is a shopping trip to Vitoria Secret to buy pretty, sexy, slinky things to wear. Find fun things to do for yourself that don't revolve around food. If you meet your weekly loss amount, get a pedicure, or take yourself to the movies, or even just a long hot bath. Anything that helps you give yourself positive reinforcement will do.

Guidelines:
You are only answerable to yourself. You can lie about what you have eaten, or how much you have worked out that day, but at the end of it, you're the only one that you have to answer to. BELIEVE that you can do whatever you want to do. ALWAYS stay positive. You have friends here who will do whatever it takes to support you and help you succeed, so let that nagging best friend say what they want to say, and try to feed you cheeseburgers, but know you CAN do this. You WILL do this. We're all here to help.
