I know where you're coming from! I've been losing and gaining back the same 60 lbs. for years! It's been 3 weeks on this MFP app and I'm finding that eliminating sugar, flour, salt, red meat, anything that ferments is helping me a lot. Without the sugar I am not getting any cravings and am reasonably satisfied with a glass of water or two to tide me over. I'm walking 45 mins. at a good clip early each morning to kick start my metabolism for the day and breakfast is a bowl of oatmeal, preferably steel cut oats, some almond milk, half an apple cut up and 12 toasted whole almonds. Lunch is a very large salad with lots of veggies, a boiled egg or half a can of water packed tuna, lemon juice and a little olive oil. Dinner is chicken or fish, usually grilled and more veggies steamed or baked. Potatoes, yams, squash too. I snack on celery and carrots or other veggies. My calorie intake for the day is 1200 and the walk gives me another 200 - I'm fine with this amount. My husband can be eating his chips and beer or having his wine with dinner and I'm fine with that. Sometimes I ask for a sip and he sets me straight! I bought a beautiful red dress for the holiday season and when I'm having a weak moment I go try it on - it's one of those "almost fits" purchases! Also, we are going away for 2 weeks in January and I desperately want a new bathing suit!!! I am down 10 lbs. now and weigh myself only on Mondays - too much getting on the scale can be discouraging.
I look forward to hearing how you are doing, Heather
