I am trying to eat clean. It's a diet where you pretty much have to eat veggies/fruits/lean meats. It's great though. I was able to kick alcohol out of my diet (yay!) and I hope to see good results as time goes on. I also bought several supplements to help aid me when I work out. I'll keep y'all updated.
Good luck everyone!

I've lost 10 more lbs after going off of Nutrisystem. So, that's 40-45 lbs and have kept it off for over a year.
It's okay to "binge" as long as you don't over do it. I eat 6 small meals per day and so, my stomach is used to that much food going into it.
If I feel like eating Popeye's chicken (without skin) on a Friday night and some ice cream, I can't eat much because my stomach gets full right away.
Plus, the next day I feel like doo doo. My body's not used to fried foods and lotsa sugar. So, once in awhile I do cheat only because if we keep strictly to the diet every day, it's hard not to cheat a bit.
Just as long as I get up the next day and workout a little bit more than I do on the other days.
I'm a health food freak and eat natural foods, plus I do colonics once in awhile. That's a totally different subject, but you'd be amazed at how much you can lose by even going for a colonic once a year. Sometimes people abuse it and do it up to 2-3 times a week and that's not good on your digestive system because it tends to get used to that and not wanna work on it's own.
If you have any questions on that subject, please ask. It's not a topic that everyone likes to talk about ....or read
GOOD LUCK!!! One day at a time....just focus on that.
