No, don't delete this post! It's helpful! There are more of us like you, and all these answers does one good.They wouldn't have written them down if you wouldn't have cried out for help.

You can add me. I have been working on those last 10 lbs for so long. Having a hard time getting motivated enough to work out lately.

Strong

My daughter is an RCMP officer. Does that count? Like your little girl the best!

Thanks! That was helpful.

Sometimes I'll have my coffee black with sugarless gum.

You may add me. I log pretty well every day. I am encourageable and believe in encouraging others.

Oh, now I see what a core group is! I sent you a friend request instead, typically not reading enough before acting. Well, I would like to be part of the group too, if that's ok. I have only a little bit left to lose, but it won't go. I realize it's because I am so close to my goal, and I simply need less food now that I'm…

I just sent you a friend request, and wish you determination. It should work the way you have it planned. It's the way I do it, at least.

Yes, those last pounds are the toughest. I have 5 to go as well, and they just won't budge. Wish you both success.

I'm not sure either, but it would depend on how much you use your arms. I would think using your arms to push a wheel chair takes a lot of energy, as would weight lifting.

Yes, I did that too, and it really made a difference. No more Starbucks for me either. I love my own coffee now, just simple with a bit of milk

Yes, go for it! And take it one pound at a time. Read some of the blogs here. I have found them very motivating.

bonnielee708,- my doctor suggested anti-depressants to me too. My husband and children warned me not to take them, and I'm so glad now. It is not easy, but surround yourself with people who love you and don't be hard on yourself. I found making things-to-do lists very helpful for those really bad moments when you feel like…

Not if you have eaten 1200 calories or more. At least that's what they tell me. You get a warning then, and you're encouraged to eat some more. I try to keep close to my suggested calories, but not eat up too many of the calories I gain by exercising.

All the above are good advice, and I would add- remember to not give up when you fail at times...or even many times. It's about getting up again and learning to walk this road, and it takes time.

Thank you all for all the encouragements! I am ready to face the music again. This community is always so supportive!

Thank you so much for the encouragement and the suggestions. I will definitely check them out.

hahave a good day!

Hahaa! I have never been to WW either. Sure sounds different than I imagined. I love that part about the piece of cake that can't go to waist. That's me, and I log it too. I hate those red number though.

59 for one month yet, and then it's over. Still, I'm looking for people to encourage. Can I still join for the leftover month?

Hi, Langley, BC here!

Hi, are you breastfeeding? That uses up a lot of calories, but it also makes you hungry. Try things like switching to skim milk, low calorie margarine etc. Cut out any sugary drinks like juice and pop, and be super careful about alcohol, as it contains a lot of calories. High fiber bread and cereal has less calories, but…

I just made some for my teenaged kids and they don't like it. They say it tastes yeast, and it's true, I can smell a bit of yeast on it too. Anyway, I'm not throwing it away, so now I'm eating it. That's a lot of calories for each toast.

Wow! This is a long thread! And you all have a sense of humor. Thanks for this, all you ladies(or where there some men as well?). I love it! Will be here tomorrow too, since I didn't have time to read it all.

I am a 59 year old, married mother of many, as well as a grandmother. I know what it's like to lose, gain, lose, and gain again. I had gone down from 150 to 133, but gained some back. I am hypothyroid, and every time I gain weight, my free thyroid level goes too low,- or maybe it's the other way around. Anyway, it's hard…

why are you all even losing weight. You all look great!

Thank you. I didn't think of scrolling down the page.:)
