Ht. 5'7", Start: 196 lb, Today: 194 lb (BMI %tile: 96), Goal: 123 lb - Hi! I've been overweight for so long, it's finally time to do something serious about it, so i'm so glad I found this board. So I have 71 pounds to go for my goal weight, so I have lots of work to do! I started on the 29th January, and I hope to have lost 12 pounds by 1st March. I think I'm doing enough exercise as I dance for atleast 5 hours a week, do 30 sit-ups a day and also play wii fit at home, but does anyone have any tips for not snacking? When I'm at home I find it so hard not to grab a snack every time I go to the kitchen, and it's never a healthy one. Anyone got any ideas for me to quit the crap? x

First of all keep all the snacks out of the house.Your home is youre safe zone.And do what I did.If you crave some type of junk food(like pizza for me)Buy it and eat it allot,even overeat.Than write after how you felt.I myself felt sick,guilty fat and worthless.Kinda harsh,but i wrote it down and every time I read it my craving is gone.It really works =).Best wishes

Oh and drinking water is proven to prevent cravings. (thought i'd throw that in)

Drink water, it keeps you full and it helps you lose weight. but still eat, eat an apple/orange/banana/carrots or something yummy like that
