At the end of the day not everyone in the world can understand what it is to keep on top of this, so here is a bit of a recap in a screenshot as to what I have found. Tea and coffee can count as daily intake, it is just all…

Body Clock Says Sleep!!
Am I the only one who is not yet adjusting to Daylight Savings Time? I have done nothing else to change my routine or eating habits, but getting up in the dark is killing me, and the extra hour of daylight at night goes to waste because I have no energy left. I am also hungry all of the sudden and for stuff I never want…

Varicose veins - help!
So far I (32f) have lost 15kg. What I thought might be varicose veins at my heaviest weight are more pronounced and making one of my inner thighs really bumpy. My skin is really pale/thin and you can always see my veins through it. These bumps aren't any darker than my regular veins and don't hurt, but I'm going into panic…

I've lost over 110 LBS!!
It was simply by hard work!! No fads, no gimmicks, (these things may LOOK GOOD on ads, but the reality of them never work out long term). I cut back my calories, I tracked all of my food, I started off so slowly with exercise because when you weigh 288 lbs it's NEVER EVER EASY!! Now I am at 175 (BYE BYE 113 lbs!) What did…

How did I get here?!? That's what I wondered when I looked in the mirror a few weeks ago. Once upon a time, I was an elite athlete.

Its just not easy to lose on my own
How many times have I started to lose weight only GAIN IT BACK? This has been a life time struggle. Oh I know I am not alone. If it were easy I'd of been at goals over 8 years ago. Being older it's surely not easy, but I also did not find it easy when I was in my 40's or even 50's. I first gained weight in my mid 30's, but…

Looking for support in weight loss/maintaining?
Years ago I weighed 288 lbs, I am now at 175 lbs, GONE a TOTAL of 113 lbs!!! When I first started at 256 with another site, since that point we've transferred to MFP, I was in a power chair 97% of the time. Being in the powerchair was not all because of weight, I did get medical help on that, but the weight surely made it…
