@critter2009 I have been doing intermittent fasting for a few weeks. No eating between 7pm and 7am Saturday - Thursday (I get home late from work on Friday, so I eat dinner around 7:00). It is nice to wake up with a flat tummy, no bloating. And I fall asleep easier, I assume because I am not digesting food. I don't know if…

Congratulations on starting this journey! You will be happy you took these pictures so that you can see your progress. When I started, (and now that I have re-started with this app) I follow interesting threads on the discussion board and request to be "friends" with people who encourage others or seem to have good insight…

I am a little late to my own party, maybe out of shame...? SW: 202 CW: 158 (gained almost 3 lbs last week!! too many parties...ugh) GW: 149 THE SCALE IS GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION!!! That's OK, though - I am back on track with an eating plan for the week. And all is right with the world...

Cheryl, I am totally with you! I feel so much more "satisfied" now that I can choose foods for the caloric content and not points - for example, I was able to have a small bowl of Wendy's chili and a junior Frosty the other day - on WW, that would have been 1/2 my points for the day! But using MFP, it fit well into my…

My face is so much smaller. I have a waist, ribs, and collarbones. I do have a bit of loose skin on my neck that I don't appreciate, but it is just the remnants of a double (maybe triple?) chin. Also, bye bye boobies! Went from a large C cup to an A cup. That is hardest for me, but when I think about all that I have gained…

I find myself eating almost the same thing every day. When it gets boring, I switch it up a little bit and then eat THAT for a long time. Call me dull, but it helps me to stay on track and know almost immediately when I have gone off the rails.. Breakfast: Multi-Grain Cheerios, almond milk, strawberries Lunch: Chicken…

Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. Oh, and baked goods. And Doritos and Cheetos. And ice cream. Maybe pasta. Gee, wonder why I gained so much weight??

I hope you don't quit! You are worth the effort - feel free to request me as a friend and encourager - I am sure others will help as well!

I have done a daily weigh-in, but found that it was affecting me negatively. If my weight was higher than yesterday, I would practically starve myself to get back down. If my weight was lower than yesterday (which it usually was due to the starvation!) I would use it as an excuse for a free-for-all! So my weight was…

Everyone fights the tendency to sabotage themselves. I have done it so often that I have begun to recognize a pattern. Now I fight to break that pattern - soon I will overcome a recent plateau if I just stick with it. Maybe you could try to recognize and break your harmful patterns...just don't give up!!! You are worth it!

Feel free to add me! Let's help each other along the way of this difficult journey! Losing weight and changing your attitude about food is NO JOKE! It is one of the hardest things I have done. Lost and found the same 50lbs three times! I look forward to helping and being helped by members here!

I would love to join - Do we just continue to follow the thread, or is there an actual group?
-
I have one. Love it and it synchronizes with MFP very well. However, it is not as waterproof as they claim!
-
Feel free to add me as a friend - my profile is not private. I am looking for encouraging members to help each other along the way!
-
I would like to join. Looking to add some friendly encourages to my friends list!!

I wish you all the best. Have you gotten help from a nutritionist in the past? I can only imagine how difficult it must be to gain after the surgery - I hope you find what you are needing here!

@juliettem4953 have you tried PB2? It is powdered peanut butter - you add water to make it creamy. No oils or added sugars. I love it with apples or celery.
-
I am from Pittsburgh, PA. Not sure how to request you as a friend. It says your profile is private. But I will accept if you send one to me!

It happens to everybody. But now that you know your pattern, you can break it!!
