This is just what I need right now!! Will be reporting back July 1st :) I'm excited for this!

I'm done when I go to bed... lol. Edit: I save most of my calories for the night because I just prefer to eat more in the evening. Do what works for you--if you like to eat at night, there are ways to make it work. I've lost 40+ pounds.

In total, 37 pounds from my highest (178 -> 141). My highest recorded weight was 178 before I lost 25 pounds, gained back 15, then yo yo'ed for a few years trying to find something that worked. It might be premature to say what I'm doing works, but I'm losing consistently now that I track my food (almost) every day and I'm…

You look incredible! Thanks for sharing your story. Congratulations on the weight loss, and congrats to you and your fiancee! :)

Feel free to add me--I'm also trying to lose the last 15 pounds. :)

If anything I find it does the opposite for me--it suppresses my appetite. I'll sometimes have it as a "snack" if I want to save calories for later or if I'm out of the house but don't want to spend too many $$$ on food.

I would love to be a part of this!

No.

As someone who was in a similar situation to your daughter, I suggest you back off. There's no polite way to say it. If she wants to deal with her weight and body issues, she has to come to the conclusion on her own. Pushing her is only going to push her further away from you. Edit: I understand now that my parents…

I had always wanted to as a teenager, but thought it was impossible. Then I realized it was possible. Sounds silly, but that's how it first happened.

It becomes part of the process after a while... I know that it's one of the things that is necessary to keep me accountable, not to mention accurate, in my logging so I just do it. I gained weight because I ate too much and if I want to lose weight then I have to keep track of what I'm eating... That's just the way it's…

God I love this thread so much. :) Just for today, I commit myself to not binging or eating my emotions. Just for today, I'm going to eat what I need to nourish my body and nourish my soul in more productive ways.

I'm in. :) Seems like a good way to transition back into the running season! I'm going to aim low so I'm not setting myself up for failure, 60 km should probably do it.

Would love to join!!

-3.2 lbs this week!! :) Down 14.2 now... 5.8 pounds to go before I hit goal!

I'm aiming to lose about 25 lbs more... Feel free to add me!

I meant to say I'm at 157, not 170. I think I was half awake when I posted this. o:) Good luck to everyone this week! Even if you didn't lose last week, keep going and make this week a good one!!

Forgot to weight in last week but I gained +0.4 pounds and was at 170. This week I lost -1.2 pounds and am down to 155.8 pounds, so I'm at exactly 11 pounds lost! Yay! More than half way there now! :)

Usually when I feel like one serving won't satisfy me that means there's something else going on, and it has nothing to do with the food.

Getting a workout this close to midnight... I was almost going to call it a day and just keep lazing about in bed but I actually got off my butt and moved, even if it was only for 15 minutes! :P

I sometimes use cottage cheese in mine to make them more substantial. It makes a WONDERFUL "cheesecake" smoothie. I've made variations on blueberry and strawberry, adding about 125 g of cottage cheese, a tsbp of lemon juice, a couple of fresh dates, and a half cup of your preferred plant-based milk (almond or soy are my…

1/12: 166.6 1/19: 161.2 1/26: 159.2 2/2: 156.6 -2.6 this week! :smile:

With emotional eating, I used to eat to not feel anything, whether it be sadness, anger, depression, stress... and yup, boredom. The binging was a result of restricting/depriving myself of certain foods by categorizing them as good/bad, healthy/unhealthy etc.

The reason I struggle to lose weight is because of disordered eating habits (binging, emotional eating, and restrictive eating/dieting). I think that's why when I HAVE gotten to a lower weight (before now) and haven't been as happy as I expected it's because I didn't deal with the mental health aspect of my overall health.

My schedule is never the same from day to day, so I eat whenever I feel hungry. I tend to eat like 4-5 meals per day because I don't eat that much at one time.

29 should bring me to 130 lbs, which is "goal." This thread made me realize that's totally doable in one year, even if I only lost like 1 or even .5 pounds per week... Really puts things into perspective!

1/12: 166.8 1/19: 161.2 1/26: 159.2 Loss this week: 2 lbs Total loss: 7.6 lbs 12.4 to go :D
