You look great!!!!

Eat clean!!!!

Stepping up :D Back in the game ;) Current weight: 216.5lbs!!!!! 4 lbs to go to meet New Years goal!!!! I am stoked and determined to see that number by dec 1!!!!!!!!

I wear my Fitbit all the time, only take it off to charge or shower. I have mine synced with MFP, so all my exersice is calculated in steps. It may work for you in an elliptical, I have never tried.....

My sympathy goes out to you.... Another thing to research is the book "it starts with food". It is an elimination diet you do for 30 days in an effort to see what foods could be causing a whole variety of issues. The diet is called whole30.

Starting 232.5 Current 224.5 I gained a few pounds from a couple weeks of not eating well...... I am gonna have to step it up to make my goal !!!!

Change your mindset ..... "I only ate 2 cookies, they were yummy. Now I am done and going to have a sensible dinner." No guilt, no regret. I am not saying it is easy, because it definitely is not, but you do have a choice in how you think about things. It can make all the difference.

That is wonderful, "mysteps2beauty"!!

Hmmmm, interesting theory about walking.......I guess all the walking I have done didn't have ANYTHING to do with my personal 45 lb weight loss...... Anyway....... I did not look at your diary, but will tell you what has worked for me. I do not eat the same level of calories all the time, I eat when I am hungry, my biggest…

Hmmmm - grilled New York strip- it makes everything in the world ok again because all I can think about is how yummy it is!!! And yes, I have driven to the store just to buy steak. And yes, I have sent hubby to the store to buy steak - he wasn't complaining!!!

So true, so true!! Good idea about the cookbooks and shopping too!! I am trying to decide which paleo diet cookbook I want to buy.... I might have to get a couple!!!

Current weight: 221 Slow and steady wins the race!! We can do this!!!

That would be so cool!

I also recommend counseling! It is a sanity saver for me. I have binge issues as well. Eating clean has helped me immensely!! I don't feel like a slave to food anymore. I hope to one day to be able to have a treat every once in awhile but right now I have to abstain completely. Just something for you to think about. It…

I do not tell people what I weigh, not even my husband (even though he is totally supportive). I have only recently posted my weight on a lose 25lb by Christmas post. I have been on MFP since March. I have been harassed by family, friends, and strangers about my weight for most of my childhood and all of my adult life (I'm…

Breathe..... The craving will pass, I promise you. I am so sorry about your situation and the grief your daughter must be going through.

Awesome!! I am at 110 and have a MFP friend at over 900!!!! Amazing!!

My fasting blood sugar...... I am already on 2 HBP medication and when my blood sugar started creeping towards pre-diabetes it scared the heck out of me. My father and both grandfathers had diabetes. And recently, 2 dear friends of mine passed away from illnesses related to her long term diabetes. It was a horrible, long…

Lol!!! I hear ya!!! And you are absolutely right!!

Current weight: 222 1/2 way there!!

Not strange at all, forgiveness bring you peace. Excellent point!!

I make up my own dried fruit (unsweetened ) and nut packs. I also like mini muffins made with whole food ingredients (no flour or sugar). I only need 1-2 to keep the edge off.

Me too!! I have cried my eyes out in private from comments from family. It makes me mad that I let it get to me, but I realize that it truly was hateful.

Sounds like you are stress eating , before because of the apprehension of going to family event and after because your body is now screaming for more sugar. I am basically the same way, if food is out, I want to eat no matter what. I usually would get sick because I eat so much. The only thing that works for me right now…

That is excellent!!! It is ok to push ourselves a little but not so much that we end up injuring ourselves!! I started exercising at 3x per week for 15 minutes. It has taken me 3 months to be strong enough to do my current 30 minutes 5x per week. You will get there!!!!!! ;)

Generally speaking, people who harass others because of obvious issues (any and all challenges, not just weight issues) lead a sad pathetic life. How bad does someone have to feel about their self by getting their kicks off of making fun of other people? I have had this kind of difficulty all my life from family,…

Starting weight- 232.5 Current- 224.0 Challenge goal weight- 212.5 Down 8.5lbs , with 11.5lbs to go! I am almost 1/2 way there!! Yea!! <3 :D

I also have been splurging on steak!! Yummmmmm

Hmmm, good thread!! I am being kind to myself by reigning in my negative, self-defeating attitude. Nourishing myself with healthy, non addictive food and forgiving myself and pressing forward when I stumble. I have also splurged on new clothes, belt, seltzer waters, books to help me keep going on my journey, rest days from…

Weighing in tomorrow. I have had a good week on whole30, my pants are definitely looser, but not sure how the scale will reflect....
