in Introduce Yourself
I want to get down to 125lbs. I need to lose and keep off 14lbs. I have been close, within 5lbs of my goal weight and gained all the weight back. My biggest problem is stress. I need to learn how to deal with it, to let things go. I am active. I take care of 9 horses, 3 dogs, two men, two grandkids and a landscape business, so I don't understand why I keep all this weight?

    Hey... I want to be 40 again, nevermind 30. Stress eating is a killer. I did my weight loss low carb, moderate protein, slightly higher fats. Still keeping my carbs under 150g net/day in maintenance (it'll be 1 yr anniversary of maintenance March 5.)
    31. Hang in there! Keep logging and working on finding other ways to deal with stress.

    That's great. Congrats on your loss and keeping it off. I am looking forward to the day I can say the same thing.

    30! Shoot, I would settle for 50! And we all have different lives and different goals. But I am a bit jealous of you needing to lose only 14 pounds. I have 90 to lose! I started off needing to lose 20. Gained that back and 10 more. Now all the way up to 90 pounds overweight. So my suggestion to you - for what it is worth - lose it very slowly! Or lose maybe only 4 lbs. and don't worry about the other 10. If you do this enough, next time you will need to lose 30 lbs. I know. I've been there. So keep on keeping on. Slow and steady, keep the MFP log, up the exercise a tad and you will get there. Yes, you will! :)
