I feel like this is right where I'm at. I started my MFP journey back in January 2015 and from there till about Sept 2015 lost 62 lbs. My goals was a 84lbs lost so I fell a little short and though I've put on about 5.5lbs between September and now I'm finding it oh so difficult to find my groove again. I still exercise at…

Got honest Friday... weighed in and logged it for the first time in a while. I guess I was in the mindset of "if I don't log it then it isn't really a gain" yeah I know.. somewhat naive and ridiculous but at least now I have surrendered to the fact that ignoring the slow but steady increases doesn't mean they ain't real.…

Love the idea of photograph with a friend.. Having someone to do this journey with in whatever form it takes really makes a difference. Just the support and being able to phone a friend when the going gets tough, great tools to add to your tool box. So glad your feeling strong again, I always find reaching out on here…

There's studies coming out now of the not so safe aspect of KETO.. but I have enough restrictions already with gluten allergies and being a vegetarian, add trying to avoid sugar and my choices are getting slim

I can't find this even when I google it... an chance of a link?

OH MY.. you sound so much like me or I sound so much like you.. I need a cottage to escape to. I can stay "pure" for days resisting and being dedicated to my goal and then WHAM... one little something will trigger an unfettered binge that will last till I go to bed... I'm not overly restrictive in my calories or intake but…

Well avoided sugar till Friday evening. Now Saturday evening and already a lost cause.. Didn't do Yoga but did do pilates and a pretty intense cardio session and I'm doing number 3 right now... I WANNA EAT SWEET STUFF RIGHT NOW. but instead here I am just gotta flop around here till bedtime.. :smiley: SO:.... Just for…

I wish it was just a little bit of dove chocolate for me if its one little square it turns into the whole block and the block I've hidden for future pleasure. Woe is me.. I'm back on the sugar so gotta go through all the withdrawal again.. :(

The yoghurt I eat is all natural no added sugar. It's an acquired taste but I like it. I'm a label reader and I try to avoid anything with 3 or more grams of sugar per 100grms of product. Its processed and added sugar I'm trying to eliminate. Sugar occurring naturally in fruit for example I don't see as such a problem.…

Actually that's a better idea. As my weight loss has slowed right down and I'm actually gaining a bit it might work in the wrong direction if I take a pic every week. Every 10lbs makes sense and gives me a goal to work toward. Weigh in day is Friday and I'll do the pic then me thinks. I gotta start getting real. I just…

So glad I'm not alone on this one. Day 3 of attempting to go sugar free and well I'm still having the honey debate. I don't usually have honey in or on anything but since I've stopped the sweet treats I'm putting it on my nonfat yoghurt trying to convince myself this is an "ok" this to do but I'm not convinced. What's…
