    Oh, and I eat. A LOT. I'm now consuming between 1800-2500 calories a day...and that's to lose weight.


    your entire story resinated with me bc for years the scale wouldnt budge for me and it wasnt until I met with my doctor, had tests, and went through a food diary with the in house nutritionist did i realize I wasnt eating enough calories!

    do you think that is why you stalled, bc you were restricting too much?

    I know, without a doubt, that that's why I stalled. My body is so much happier with me when I actually FEED it.

    You are an awesome person. Stories like your's are the reason I got serious about this(seriously, sometimes I only log on MFP to stalk around the success story section and build up my motivation), I finally realized it is possible, and I'm never giving up. Thanks for the inspiration. :smile:

    You say: "Now, I'm not going to rant on Weight Watchers. It helped me to lose 40 lbs, and definitely set me on the right course. I learned to make much better choices, and started weighing and "tracking" my food intake. However, it also set me on the path of a very damaging relationship with food. During the week, I was consuming less than 1200 calories a day, and then I would proceed to binge on anything I deemed "forbidden" on the weekends. However, I didn't care as I was losing weight at a 2 lb a week clip. By July of 2010, I had hit 170 lbs. ""
    _______
    Sounds to me like it wasn't Weight Watchers that "set you on a path of a damaging relationship with food" but your own choices. WW doesn't advocate what you are describing.

    Glad you found a way that works for you and have had success. Best wishes as you continue on this healthy lifestyle you've created!
