MFP put me on a 1400 calorie diet but I have a goal for January which I want to get close to. In the past I did an Atkins diet with no exercise and lost 70 lbs in 4 months and I know it's possible. This is…

Giving is like taking money out of one pocket and putting it into your other pocket. God in his infinite wisdom has made it that way! GIVE GIVE GIVE :-) :heart: God is Love:heart:

I will be OK if I add excercise in and eat a light dinner. AND stop snacking now...but I can't help myself. Granted, I have been…

Back from a "no-dieting/fitness" abyss! Want to start a new

I just can't seem to make it past that 150 mark. Which is what really got me down and why I stopped everything. I want to get down to…

Yuck I'm sick!!
Of course the only time I get sick this year is when I've finally gotten motivated to lose this weight. I'm always so bad when I'm sick. I crave comfort food and dont deny myself anything. I normally live off of mashed potatoes!! I cant do it this time. I've lost 6 lbs in the last couple weeks. I cant put it back on just…

I MUST stop overeating!
I know that my biggest downfall is overeating. I don't know what it is, but if there is food near by sometimes I just can't help eating it even if I'm totally full, and I end up feeling like crap and can't move until I'm totally digested, like I feel now :frown: I'm part of the Biggest Loser challenge on this website, and…

only eating when you are hungry
I have a huge problem of eating when I am not hungry and also emotional eating. Does anyone have any advice on how to transition to knowing when you are really hungry and not just craving. I know what really really hungry feels like, but day to day normal hunger (does that make sense?)
