I'm 43 and down 69! I started really slow, no big do or die exercise routine. I did follow tons of people on instagram and just using this app counting my calories.

Just tell it "it's not you, it's me... but maybe we can still be friends" No seriously reducing portions, I am a full plate eater and I've had to cut the sizes because I'm simply not the eater I was, I know there are studies about how your stomach doesn't really grow or shrink but I am MISERABLE if I eat too much now.

Yay! Awesome!

Everyone is comparing outdoor weather and i'm over here worried about the pie and the treats and the pie and homemade fudge and I think there might be pie......

It's to early in the morning, i missed that orphan reference, thanks for pointing it out lol

Definitely chart it for a couple months pending you have no other issues, sometimes they have a mind of their own! I've thought I was going to finally go to menopause because of a late one and then wham!

Has it continued to be lighter for a long period of time yet? Mine was sever to say the least, I was thinking of getting an ablation done just because it was so heavy and painful. Well for the last several months it was lighter and less pain as i thought because of diet and exercise but the last one was back to fierce so I…

Thank goodness I now know the truth.....

Oh wow, great thread! but now i'm kinda panicky! I just don't know, but I have to stay away from the happy HalloThaksmas food barrage of candy and snacks!

I also save my biggest meal for the night and try to have enough for a extra snacks in case I feel the urge. Fiber one bars, usually salty and sweet helps me.

I weighed my peanut butter.... *sob* that MEASURING SPOON LIES!!!

Yeah like if you know you are going to have a really big meal at a restaurant then that's when I will eat very little during the day

I have to stop reading this thread, I had to have peanut butter and It was good, but I still crave it just seeing the words peanut butter over and over

I like natural extra crunch almond butter now but yes growing up it's a high protein, cheap, easy lunch. They push it on the WIC program, it's a free food for lower income based program, you get cereals, milk, peanut butter, tuna. It's also something they throw into food boxes for elderly and poor. Seems to be the go to…

I went to my work health checkup to sign up for insurance. I was MORBIDLY OBESE! I have to pay more for the same insurance. I have planter fasciitis, bone spurs in my heels, high blood pressure, painful knees etc. well I should say had. almost 70 lbs down none of the symptoms, and my bmi went from 44.9 to 33.5, I am almost…

Is your mom GERMAN? My oma was just like this!!! She hated the gum and would pick apart everything, my poor mother was a hot mess around her.

Yes when Red Lobster was the destination and also a local sushi place, LOL

LOL poor poor manicotti.... such a picture in my head, Hey who left me the stubs again?!?

I have lost almost 70 since Jan 3rd. Much of it was very quick, I was averaging 2.6 a week, and the last 3 months have been slowwww BUT that's much much better than UP or Back! I'm still going down in sizes, like it took my body a moment to catch up, I have 50 to 70 to go. I use mantras, Progress not perfection! I no…

Maybe the neighbor is curious and wants to run to! and great job! glad you went and did it!!!

@lyndahh75 Ok before everyone goes beyond all technical and quotey, I completely understand! But this time, something finally clicked, or snapped lol. I have weak moments, stupid ice cream, but I do my best to include it good or bad. And as someone who use to drink everyone under the table, many many many moons ago, I…

First off, argueing with a teenager is like trying to nail jello to a tree. I have 2, and I have to say even if they were comfortable with someone they better not talk to an adult (besides me lol) like that EVER! so disrespectful. 2nd, talking to know-it-alls about weight loss or healthy lifestyle or basically anyone that…

They tell you that in weight watchers, I had a doctor look at me so absurd when I asked about that.... Let's just say that's a myth to file in the crappola pile

It happens to the best of us, @PinkPixiexox is giving you her example You simply have to log your food, pretty much no way around it if you are gaining that fast you need to pay attention wholeheartedly and MINDFULLY of what you are putting you your mouth.
