    Dragonfly, YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! I can honestly say I know what you are going through; I live it also. I can say that MFP has helped tremendously. Stay active on it and count everything. It will help with the binging. I have went above my calories, but I believe that I am eating less than I would if I were not keeping track of it.

    I am learning daily that even the skinny folks have to work at being skinny. We have to train ourselves and if we are not tracking, we are not training our brains what and how much we can eat.

    Like I said, it is a struggle for everyone, so I find comfort in #'s and it reminds me that I am not doing it alone.

    I hope that helps!!! Keep tracking!!!! :flowerforyou:

    My apologies as it has been a while since I have logged on. Like yourself, I am struggling. I was doing so well (physically and mentally) for about a month and half and then I got the flu. I haven't seemed to be able to get myself completely back on track since. The flu is still lagging and my energy level is down. I was back to the doctor today and I was up two pounds since I was last there about two weeks ago.

    I am going through a few medical struggles right now and had to have some testing done over the last couple weeks. I am going back to see a specialist in May (earliest appointment).

    I find that logging in daily was keeping me on track. It helped me to see what I was putting into my body on a daily basis and I enjoyed seeing my calorie and exercise intake in front of me.

    You can do it! So can I! Back on track!

    Hi there everyone! My apologies as we were out of town from Thursday through today for my son's NYS wrestling championships. I am still struggling. I have gained about two pounds and I am feeling frustrated but it is my own fault. I was doing soooo well for about two months and managed to lose 9 pounds. I was doing the 17 Day Diet at the time. I am still doing the diet and I am pretty much bit a plateau. It isn't so much that I don't care, I most definitely do care. More so, I just get frustrated. I struggle to be able to exercise due to my knee surgery and other current medical issues. I am only five foot two and I am a bit over 200 pounds. I have HBP and was recently diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and sleep apnea. As I mentioned, I had knee surgery a year ago. I need to lose weight. I am struggling like some of you and it is very frustrating. My issue is not so much that I "over eat" but rather my metabolism. It is very poor.
