I`m trying to lose a couple of pounds latley. I was doing great until I started giving in to soda and candy again on halloween. I'm having a really hard time giving it all back up again and latley I've found my self eating/drinking more then I would normally have before I started to watch what I eat. I could use some help on how to get back on track. Thanks everyone!

My advice would be to try to loosen up on yourself. Don't stress yourself out over this. You can get through it! Now, One thing I would do would be to have more and more less soda everyday, like instead of your usual full glass of sodam make it a half a glass and so on, same with candy. Another great thing to do would be eat healthy and exorcise regularly. Hope this helps!

-sleep 9/10 hrs a night. seems a little weird but it helps you a lot.
-EAT ALL 3 MEALS!! that's important because you need all 3 to stay healthy. you can basically eat whatever you want as long as its in portion. like stop eating when you feel kind've full.
-EAT BREAKFAST!! that's a major 1. breakfast is the most important meal you can eat, & there's studys that are done that said people who don't eat breakfast, either stay the same weight er gain weight. sounds weird, but if you don't your body goes into starvation mode & you won't burn calories.
-try eating healthy foods every 3 hrs such as fruits, veggies, crackers, etc. it helps your metabolism. there's those 100 cal. packs you can get at grocery stores, they're really good!!
-exercise is another thing that's important to do. it doesn't have to be running a lot er something. juss stay in activity. crunches, sit ups and everything work too. maybe 50 a day er so.
-make sure you stay hydrated. drink water.
