That stupid belly pooch

What drives me CRAZYYY...can anyone relate??
Hi Everyone! So this is something that has been continuously coming up for me, and in fact can be very demotivating. For a little background: I've never been considered "obese" or particularly "heavy" (hence why I joined this group!) but I've always had extra that I want to get rid of. My heaviest weight ever was probably…

I have found lately that Wednesdays seem to have the best results. Mostly because I do not count calories on weekends. What has worked for you? --Barbie

Cutting Back on Holiday Calories
How are you going to have fun but not go crazy with all the holiday food? I believe in treats but I do not want to get derailed over the holidays. I've decided I'm going to navigate the holidays by eating consciously. Here is what I mean... Sitting down with a slice of pecan pie and enjoying every bite is conscious eating.…

Where does it show?
When you first started losing weight, where did people notice it first? What part of your body are you still waiting for the fat to drop? My answers: People always notice my face is thinner first. I'm still waiting for the little 'pooch' on my belly to go away.

At last I'm losing- what did I change????
Went to see a dietician who set me a portion plan. I'm also tracking it on MFP though. It's ending up about 1300 calories a day and I don't eat back exercise calories. It's been about 55% carbs, 30% fat and 15% protein. I'm only losing a pound a week but for me, that's brilliant!! MFP set me at 1450 plus exercise calories.

What's really working for me is .....
Adjusting my goals to just lose 0.5 pounds a week instead of a pound. This extra couple of hundred calories has meant im not having to greatly deprive myself so I'm no longer binging. Weight loss will be slow but at least I won't be up and down like a yo yo.
