    Today's Tip

    Wait until your stomach rumbles before you reach for food.
    It’s stunning how often we eat out of boredom, nervousness, habit, or frustration—so often, in fact, that many of us have actually forgotten what physical hunger feels like. If you’re hankering for a specific food, it’s probably a craving, not hunger. If you’d eat anything you could get your hands on, chances are you’re truly hungry. Find ways other than eating to express love, tame stress, and relieve boredom.

    Ok- I need some help here! How are you all staying motivated? Im great almost all of the time, but... then I have my moments where I just mess everything up :( its like Im sabotaging myself. I lose 2-3 lbs, then gain it back every week! Or I'll gain the weight, then lose it again. Thinking its probably mostly water weight, but it just keeps happening. And my downward trend has been stopped for a couple months now. Any suggestions?????

    If you're worried about water retention reduce your sodium intake. Also, I know it sounds wrong, but drink more water, especially if your sodium is higher than usual. It helps to flush out the system. But don't drink it late at night or you'll be up in the middle of the night.

    Thanks Terri. I know that. But it's just the doing it every day that's the problem. I've been on mfp for a year and have lost over 50 lbs. I'm really proud of myself for that! But.... I'll be perfect for like 5 days, then not so much for a couple. I'm not gaining (which is a plus) but I'm not losing either. I know what worked for me to get here. It's just having the willpower to keep it going. I'm hoping as the weather breaks and the with time change so I can walk after work things will start moving for me again. This thread is great-checking in every week, but I know it's really an internal motivation that I need to succeed.

    Getting The Weight Off

    Getting the weight off—and keeping it off—is a slow process. Watching the number on a scale can be depressing. Plus if you're focused on losing a set number of pounds in a specific amount of time, missing that goal can be very disappointing. Losing weight should be a secondary benefit to your overall health gains—not your primary goal. The steeper the mountain, the more difficult the first step is. And if you're carrying a lot of extra weight, taking that first step toward a healthier lifestyle can be especially daunting. With that being said, by setting the bar too high, you're setting yourself up for failure. Start by setting modest goals and avoid the pitfalls of burnout or the debilitating repercussions of missing your targets.

    loss this week: 1lb
    Total loss: 9lb

    Starting stronger steroids tomorrow and the nurse told me I will gain weight on them. All hope of making my goal is lost at this stage I'm just hoping I can prevent a massive weight gain. I know my health has to be priority but i have worked hard to get down over 3 stone and if I start gaining again I'd be heart broken. Have found it hard enough on the lower dose steroids to keep my weight down but then I haven't been well enough to work out either.
