    Successes/struggles this week:
    I'm struggling in the evening. That's when I finally sit down to relax and was often when I'd snack. It's difficult retraining my brain and acknowledging that I'm not really hungry. It's just a bad habit. Slowly breaking that habit!

    Hello everyone! I'm a bit late but would like to join. I've recently gained 15 lbs in just a few months! I'm totally off the bandwagon feeling horrible about myself. It's hard to be motivated when you continuously let yourself down.

    Just a suggestion, I encourage you to go ahead and keep tracking no matter what you eat. I used to do exactly what you mentioned. When I stopped doing that and wrote down EVERYTHING, (even the 20 miniature Reese's cups) I couldn't hide from the numbers. It was a reality check. I began to slowly make better choices so I wouldn't have to see those numbers on my tracker. I'm glad to read that you keep trying. Best of luck to you.

    A little late, went to the doctor and had tests to find out why I was getting acid reflux and bloating. No thyroid issue or tumors - just age and overweight!!!! SO embarrassed, he advised Weight Watchers but going back to MFP before I spend any money.
