I have a hard time keeping with a diet and workouts also, i tend to quit most of the time. this time I don't think that it will be possible for me to quit cause on here nobody will let you or me do that and they will help others stay or get back on track. If you think that you are slipping just get on here and say it. maybe get a buddy to help you as well.

Whatever we eat is our diet. If you like crunchy stuff like chips, replace it with a hand full of raw cashews or almonds, an apple, you just need ideas. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
