I turn down seconds too, I like to say "I quit hoggin!" <em>@Laura</em> - Keeping a food journal reminds me of keeping a spending journal... always a good idea, especially at the onset. <em>@Neal</em> - The competition isn't over Neal... c'mon man suck it up!! ;-) <em>@Kelly</em> - I find balance to be key in EVERYTHING. Also, instead of calling it "cheat days" my wife & I call it "treat days", because we're not cheating... we're treating. I think that is an important mindset change. Nice work on your balance, very encouraging. <em>@Mrs. Micah</em> - I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone mention getting a partner yet. That is a fundamental key to exercise/weight-loss success. I have also enlisted the partnership of my wife. We do cardio together & have worked really hard to totally change our <a href="http://www.debtfreeadventure.com/a-frugal-and-sensible-diet/" rel="nofollow">food mindset</a>. Keep up the stellar work. @Josh – You’ve been blowin’ it up lately… nice work. I turn down seconds too, I like to say “I quit hoggin!”

The last few weeks I haven't been able to make myself lift as often (either time management or plain old laziness) but I'm getting to at least half my goal by running enough and lifting some days.

I struggled with a foot injury for the first few weeks, and have been taking it slow with exercise so it will be a lasting change. The things that have helped me be more successful are the app Laura mentioned, as well as balancing things better. for instance I got a coupon for free ice cream, so I walked a mile each way to the store and back to burn the calories I consumed.

Its made me more conscious of what I eat. I also record my exercises, so I keep track of what I'm actually doing. I’ve been using an iPod app called Lose It for my food journal.
