When you use food for comfort there will be discomfort when you have to limit it. I recommend counseling to help you with this.

Dukan diet South beach diet. But both have a maintenance aspect

I went over my calories on chocolate chips and margaritas today. Stuff happens. The thing is to pick yourself up and get back in the saddle

There was a recent article in a major magazine about how women need it to be 7 degrees warmer than men in order to be comfortable

Breakfast is my favorite meal so I never miss it

You should see your doctor

I just finished The Roadmap to 100: The Breakthrough Science of Living a Long and Healthy Life. Emphasis on exercise and nutrition. Good read

I lost 25 lb almost 3 years ago, gained 10 lbs back and have been fighting to get down there again. After reading a lot of the posts here I think I understand what I have been doing wrong. Rather than be in diet mode, I need to look at it as a way of eating for the rest of my life. That perspective changes the way I go…

Your calories for your walk seems high to me. How many minutes and how many miles per hour do you walk? Do you eat back those calories?

Cheetos and Fritos

It's a mixed bag. Half the people I know who had the surgery gained it all back. Half have kept it off. As pointed out before, you have to change your lifestyle

Bacon and eggs with broccoli mixed into the eggs. A great way to get veggies in

I said no to halt a quesadilla but yes to the margarita

Yes exercise will give you more calories to eat. To echo the above post, it's all about calories in versus calories out. You need to eat at a deficit to lose weight.

Get right back on the horse and figure out how it happened.

Various people will have various ideas. I'm eating back half of my exercise calories.

By taking the first step and making this post, you're on your way. There art lots of people on this site who lost 100 lbs or more by using this site. Check them out under the Success Stories tab.

Your idea about low sodium on the cruise is a good one.

Me too

My wedding ring is getting loose- again

I too have a loose ring. I've had it 32 years and it's time to get it resized!

I'm on day 41 of starting over. I hope to make it all the way to my goal this time. I've been yo-yo in for years

Well written

If a guy wanted to attract me, all he would need is bread cologne.

I've been doing a modified version of low carb for a few years. It's easier for me to stay in a calorie deficit that way. I LOVE bread and flour and can never feel full when I eat it so low carb eating will be in my future forever if I want to maintain.

I'm also interested. Help get me over this hump.

I've been on statins for years with no side effects. Good luck with the surgery.

My psychiatrist put me on it to counteract the weight gain from my other psych meds. Overall I have lost 60 lbs over 7 the 7 years I have been on the meds.

My motivation is to get more calories to eat.

Have you ever considered therapy?
