Taking a walk

Get some gum, or 1 piece of peppermint. I know this helped me. I needed to chew or taste more than eat and these are my first go to....of course I had to realize that the mibts could be a problem....unfortunately when u found myself deductin120 calories for 6 desolving mints. Another thing I did was eat 2 walnut halves…

You will, it takes patience and for me believing in myself.

Awwwwwww, I didn't mean to, but this is so serious for our health. I got together with family for the holiday and felt ' normal' for the first time in years.

Here again, I've tried for a couple of days now and can get on neither feed. This is more stressful than helpful, please remove me from the challenge. If I could have accessed the same threads i think this would have been tremendous. Thank you

My sister continued the journey for avwhile then fizzled out, the weight she had lost when I saw her 4 months ago she had gained back. I will see her tomorrow. No one in my family knows how much I've lost, when I last saw them I weighed 21 lbs more. Thanksgiving will be interesting....and a challenge. I am preparing for…

CW 178

To those that took the time to read this and reply, thank you....we can do this

Hi, where do I log my weight tomorrow? I've been denied access to the weights discussion thread. I apologize for being such a case but I'm not very tech savvy and when things don't cooperate I am oblivious to options

So its not just me. I had a "friend" from church say something very similar milar 3/4 weeks ago, it has been a struggle for me ever sense. It is a if my brain and body are now our of sync, I actually gained weight and its taken me 3+ weeks to lose the 3 pounds. Ugh!!!! I don't know what to say or do!!!! We have got to find…

I'm in; I need all the challenges and motivations I can find CW-180 GW-173 It's been a struggle

Great.....I too hit 100 today after an pup and down 3/4 week struggle. Let's keep at it!

I can't seem to get logged on!!!!

Hi Connie, don't give up!! Be honest, weigh, measure, read labels, track and don't drink your calories

I'm in....

Maria, I was reading a post by another MFPer and what he said was one day at a time, ok be meal at a time. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by all you have/want/need to lose, set incremental goals. Find a motivation and use it until you really come to believe you are worth the time, energy and investment. So you weren't…

I'm in, I'm hoping to reach goal by the end if the year. 10 pounds would be my maximum....my clothes budget has already eimploded in on itself

Good for you, this is a dance not a dash.

Wonderful!!!!

When I first read your post I thought I had already responded to the initial question of tall women. Our stories mirror, and our thought processes and phrasing too....I'm still laughing!!!! Thank you for showing me I'm not the only one!!!! quote="kellellie;34261479"]5'10" here! At my highest I was 260 and was stuffing…

I'm 5'9, I started this journey a year ago this week. I weighed 280 pounds wearing a 20W, and it was tight and uncomfortable, I probably should have been in a 22W but I refused to buy a larger size. I probably looked like a sausage but denial is a powerful thing. I now weigh between 180 and 183....I've been bouncing around…

Thank you to everyone that responded. I know, intellectually, that what has been said is true, its emotionally that I am struggling. I will keep referring to your comments until I can pull it together enough to reintegrate the knowledge and my bizarre thoughts that will sabatoge me if I don't pull it together.

I'm in....I was down to 5 pounds left to go last Wednesday....today I'm at 9.5....I am ready to scream.....my fear is I'll start screaming and not be able to start. CW-184.5 GW-175 (at least for now)

I love this thread it has made me aware of things I was in denial about: the knees, rings, seeing yourself and not realizing its you, realizing none of your clothes fit and your work "friends" have let you walk around for weeks like a little girl playing dress up in her mother's clothes, not knowing your clothing size or…

Hi there, stay encouraged, ad I told my neice who has about 150+ pounds to lose, I had 102-105, be honest with yourself. You can lie to everyone else but be honest with you. Begin to differentiate between hungry and thirsty. I have found over my last 9 month journey that many times I thought I was hungry but was actually…

I made it July 7, 2015 but since that time I've been doing a little bouncing around,

Hi there, I understand, seriously I do. I am below 200 lbs for the first time in over 20 years. We can't do what We have always done and listen to those voices own and those of colleagues friends and family. They are used to seeing that heavy and I'm quite content with that when we begin to lose weight they're saying all…
