This is why I eat once a day. I can 'binge' on my one meal and not feel guilty because it's near impossible for me to go over my calorie limit for that day. It's definitely not for everyone though and it took me a couple weeks to get use to only eating during that time but it's what I prefer now. I've never liked eating…

I've tried using Saxenda before, two months of trying and it didn't do squat. I was restricting my calories and losing weight because of that but the injections didn't do anything to curb my appetite so what I lost was all my effort anyway. I wouldn't waste the money to be honest.

ObeseToBeast is my favorite.

I need to lose 200, feel free to add me, I'll be on MFP for a long time

I'm big, I like to eat so I know the feeling having to cut down on your calories. The only thing that I've found that works (which is great too) is to drink a LOT of water. Now I can get so full on water that I'm really not hungry most of the day and that's a huge help to me.

Mondays Weight - 358 1 pound weight loss Thanks everyone!! I was sick from the birthday dinner because I was bloated so bad I felt like I was going to explode. It was horrible! Last week wasn't a major weight loss week but I did lose a pound. Might be TMI but I started my period, which is a miracle in itself because I…

Thanks everyone!! I went out to dinner on Tuesday for my husband's birthday. I had a piece of cake earlier in the day (made this my cheat day) but otherwise still just had my one meal.. and paid for it all night. Despite my crappy choice in food at home, it still must be better than eating out because I haven't felt that…

That's awesome!! I love the NSV!!

I do this too lol!

I was having a hard time thinking of dinners for the rest of the week (I plan in advance) so thanks for giving me the idea to have breakfast for one! You're not alone. I have super big meals. I take my binging out on my supper but I stay within my calories so oh well.

That's awesome!! The NSV are the funnest part of the journey, I think :smile:

None of you are alone in this, I do the same thing! My husband is big too but even he can't binge like I can :neutral:

I know how sucky weekends are. I second making one of the days a splurge day. You're doing awesome! :smile:

Monday's Weight - 359 Lost 4 pounds last week Managed to make it through the weekend with no slips. I did learn not to eat chinese and think the next 24 hours are going to be as easy as normal though. Yeesh.

This week was great, nothing really to report! I'll take pics this weekend so I have those when I, hopefully, finish this! Down 3 more pounds for a total of 27 gone since I started. Will weigh in and report again on Monday after I've survived the weekend.. weekends are always my hardest! ETA: Forgot to add that I…

I definitely don't eat clean or healthy either. I just stick within my calorie limit :)

Also, I use the air fryer so much that I very seldom ever use my oven anymore!

I have one of these, my parents have one and we have a friend that we convinced to get one and we all use it on an almost daily basis. I definitely recommend! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EXP92BA/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah it's definitely calmed down the snacking for me. I don't even think of food after supper anymore. It reminds me of when I quit smoking and how much of a relief it was not to base everything around my next cigarette.

Thank you!

I need to come to your house for supper :)

He was pretty skeptical at first but he started losing right away. Now he's excited. :)

Starting the week at 363. I'm only weighing myself every Monday so that I stay sane. So that means last week was a loss of 7 pounds and not once did I feel deprived. Weekends are usually my worst. My husband is big too so we usually spend all weekend eating but he decided he was going to do this with me and it made things…
