Hi Everyone,

I weigh about 165 pounds and would like to weigh 120. I think counting calories and working out is probably the best diet for me, but I can't seem to stick to it.

I tend to crave bad foods and work far to much to regularly work out. I also have a knee injury, so working out can be difficult at times.

Does any body have suggestions to get motivated from the beginning?

Hey Mousey,

Maybe you could try another plan that breaks your cravings. I am currently on South Beach Diet, and it only took about 4 days for my cravings to break. since you say you crave really bad stuff, something like this may help. Good luck finding a plan that works for you!

Welcome, Mousey! You might want to look up seated exercises such as "Office Yoga" until your knee heals up more. Swimming is also a great low-impact way to exercise.

Hey Mousey, I am also on the South Beach Diet like Katy. At first I had cravings for sweets that I never even ate when I was not on a diet. I did cheat a couple of times. I realized that the only person I am cheating is myself and now I am more motivated and determined. Stay strong!!!
Just remember the goal u r aiming towards and work towards that. Its hard but u can do it.
