    @modacielo73 That is a great NSV (non-scale victory)! Thanks for posting your success.

    @heathrlynn50 Misch has it spot on in my book. Something you're doing isn't a sustainable attitude and that's what needs to be rooted out. You should write down all of your NSV's and really appreciate them. Their "wake" (as in what is trailing behind a boat) is your weight loss. Don't let weight loss be your goal. It's the EFFECT of all your NSV's. The NSV's are the focus. For now, keep posting your frustrations. It's helpful to hash this process out. You'll figure out what specifically is causing you to wobble. You're in the process of stretching yourself, thus the resistance you're feeling so acutely! This is a prime moment for you! Seize it and learn a lesson that will help you build a more solid foundation for yourself. You've got this! You can do it! :)

    Hey group! I haven't been around much so I am out of the loop! I hope everyone is doing well. I am back on track more or less and hit 45 lbs gone this week. Hoping to hit my 50 by the end of the month.

    hi everyone! I've struggled with my weight most of my life. From March of 2013 to December of 2013 I did manage to lose 45lbs. Unfortunately, I've gradually gained 75lbs! I'm feeling pretty pathetic and it seems I just can not stop gaining weight. Please feel free to add me as a friend so we can support each other on this journey!
    Good luck to everyone! :)

    That's it exactly! It's like stretching. You're not going to be limber like a gymnastics pro from the start, and it won't be easy, but you ease into it, figure out what works and always always always look for new ways to stretch that work better, but keep your tried and true practices as your foundation. I have go-to meals that get me thru the week. They're not fancy or especially amazing, but I like them, they're calorie friendly and they fill me up. I add new stuff and throw out what I don't like, but inevitably, I always have those foundation meals as my fall back food because it works for me. Find out what works for you and talk to yourself like you would talk to your daughter if she was doing what you're doing. In other words be kind to yourself, encourage yourself, and keep telling yourself that the quest to be successful at changing your life is a worthwhile effort, because it is!

    Welcome back @danielle7577 and congrats on the success! I can't wait to reach the 50lb mark!

    @taketwo2014 congrats on getting back on your path. We've all been there, shoot, I've been there a dozen times! The success is that you came back, you've brushed yourself off, and you're back in the fight! You've got this!!

    @ptkat28 I'm with you on that one. This group inspires me to no end!

    I want a push mower!! But I do a lot of weedeating with a very heavy weedeater! I count that as general gardening!

    So I had this big long post typed up and then my computer decided to freeze and I had to re-start. :-( I can't remember everything.

    Newbies: welcome, this group is awesome.

    All the rest, I hope you all are having a great week.

    I'm enjoying my walks more and more. I've noticed that it is really helping with my depression. I am super happy about that. I don't know if its the fact that I'm outside more or if it's just my bodies way of saying great job. Who knows.. This weekend I am going away so I really need to make sure that I stay on track. I know I'll be doing plenty of walking so hopefully that will help. Just can't over eat.

    I know exactly what you mean when you say that you're addicted to food. I would never take drugs but food is definitely my addiction. Every day I still feel like I imagine a recovering heroin addict would. I am eating to live, not living to eat but unfortunately that damn obsession is still there lol. Anyway! Hello :D well done on starting your weight loss up again and I hope it goes really well for you x
