I have read all the post so I can be ready for the future when I am at my goal. The only thing I would change is my window of lbs gained before I would get back on track. I would she 3lbs as a marker. I look at that as 2 lbs is water and 3lbs is a lb of fat gained. Letting it get to even 5 lbs weight gain is really hard to…

I really appreciated the advice to keep tracking all I eat even the binge. Yes I think MFP is helping. I had a good weekend. Entered everything. No binge. What I did do because I heard a conversation on the radio that wheat makes you tired and bloated. So on Friday I stopped eating wheat, If I have a piece of bread it will…

My binge continued into the next day. I cant eat all those calories. Especially in carbs. Im a food addict

Energized after Zumba

Today is a new day. I didnt give into a binge. Yes I had a few things but I stopped because I had to record what I ate. I new I had a little room but not how much. So I owned up to the calories and then went to bed. I slept well didn't wake up feeling fired, guilty, mad at myself. When I binge I still have to carry on with…

I have heard having cottage cheese available will help with low blood sugar problems. Ask a dietician.

I suggest taking your measurements. If the scale doesnt move the inches may go down. I am using an article of clothing that I want to get into. I have it hanging so I see it all day long. I find this motivates me to stay on track.

Yes thank you for sharing. You are blossoming into your true self. Keep up the hard work you are so worth it. Dont worry at the gym with people smiling. Just smile and they will all know you are ok. We are all struggling one way or another ours is just food. I lost 30lbs and gained it back on MFP. Over 6 years. We have to…

Hi I have never taken a challenge. I think it is time. Count me in

Hi I especially feel heavy when I look in the mirror at the gym while doing exercises. I dont feel that way when I look in my mirrors at home. I cant tell which is true. I gained my 30lbs back since 2013. I am back and working on it again. I have this beautiful winter coat that I bought 30lbs lighter. I find having that…

Hi LavalChow, an injury will set you back. Start small 5 minute exercise intervals. Add on as you feel stronger. After awhile exercise becomes a good habit.

Hi Just getting started today. Finding my way around. I seem to only motivate myself to stay on track when I have a goal to motivate me. September it was a wedding to attend. October is a winter coat I love . Sounds silly but it seems to work. Nothing else does.

Sugar I have gotten under control. I dont eat sugar. I substitute. It is the salt and fat that Im working on now.

Well Melanie you certainly look radiant. I can only imagine what you have been through. I am also working on 15 lbs. Will gladly follow you. I am also knew and finding it hard to navigate this message board.

Will the car insurance not cover a gym membership?

Hi Please add me looking for friends to motivate and be motivated.

you have to eat to drop the weight

Agree you have to get on that scale daily. The weight will creep on quickly. I know. It happened to me. This is the first time since I dropped the weight. I think once you get a taste of skinny nothing else tastes better. You have to get their first. If you are in craving mode you will watch the scale climb but it will get…

Oh my gosh I am 60 and have have always exercised but have been lifting for 4 years every day. 5x5 30 reps at a time For the past year I added J Michaels exercises boy did that tighten everything up.

Toronto born and raised add me

Hi from Toronto, I am also an RN retired after 33 years. It was hard always struggling. I didnt get the weight off until I retired. It is hard with shift and kids. Possibly if I had of made it on one of the diets I started getting control of my weight my life would have been easier. Get the weight off now. Once it is off…

Hi everyone, new to the board but not knew to dieting and binging. It was really hard to finally after a lifetime of dieting to loose the 50 lbs. I did it. Unfortunately I did not loose the cravings with the 50lbs. I will not put that weight back on. So know I fight the battle 50lbs lighter. Those cravings are brutal once…

Hi, Im also new . 60 year old. I have lost 50lbs. I have 10 more to go. I seem to be bouncing back and forth. Not able to hold at my goal weight of 154. Have to get back to that number. No way I am putting the weight back on. It is harder totake it off then keep it off. I now that sounds weird but I feel and look better in…
