My biggest one is to stick with CICO because I know that after 40 years of dieting, it is the only thing that works long term for me. And most importantly, not listen to well meaning friends,family, and even my doctor, when they tell me the proper way to lose weight. I used to get upset and become exasperated trying to…

Re. Workout wear: at home I wear the cute, tight fitting outfits that show every single ounce of cellulite, but in public I change out the spandex capris for the regular, loose fitting ones

Sugar free jello is my go to if I do not have calories to spare. Also, SF hot chocolate. If I have a lot of wiggle room then I like something healthy- fruit, homemade granola bars, and lately the blueberry frozen yogurt(both recipes are from MFP)

Oh God I needed to read this this morning and especially Shadowfox for your response. I can do this. Have lost 85 so far, so apparently I can- I just have to do the basics- eat right, log, and move these old bones a bit. Am so grateful for this forum and that I came here for support instead of wallowing in massive amounts…

I will forget about the past and treat today as a new beginning. Log accurately, will not get into my husband's potato chip stash, ride the bike for 30 minutes during the news on tv, and THROW THE DARN SCALE OUT THE WINDOW! Seriously, that thing messes with my head badly.

I totally get this and everyone should do what is right for THEM. However, I would like to point out that some of us who struggle with obsessive behavior can let the numbers govern our mood. I try desperately to weigh myself only once a week but have been weighing daily because I can't control myself and have spent a…

Have some questions for you but would first like to thank you for posting this. I have been on various ppi's for 14 years and have slowly been getting freaked about other complications of long term use that have come out over the years, mainly increased bone loss and now most recently, the connection between it and…

OMG! I know, right?! 95 so far for me but countless(and pretty much CLUELESS) people continue to tell me how to do it right. I figure eventually they will realize how much smaller I am and feel pretty stupid.

I had these for years and began to associate them with anxiety. Ironically, I had a very low caffeine intake then, but now consume 4 cups of coffee a day and only rarely get them now(one episode a few months ago was the first in over a year. I used to have them several times a day. I have finally gotten control over…

Light n Fit Greek yogurt- their flavor so are unbelievable. Mini sweet peppers. Almond milk instead of cow's with cereal. Pistachios IN THE SHELLS(helps with portion control). For salty cravings, Special K cracker chips are awesome at making you feel like you are being decadent without the guilt. Cannot always fit them…

Have been "on a diet" for most of my adult life. Mid-fifties now and am currently on a downward trend in my cycle of yo yo'ing weight loss/gain. Down almost 90 lbs with 40 to 50 remaining to achieve average weight for my height. However, I am hoping to lose as much as I can without looking anorexic because 10+ years of…
