Awesome news on your improvements! I probably need to try and up my walking to 7 days a week. Last time I lost weight I was a walking fiend but this time it's much more of a chore. Your new goal for steps will motivate me to up my game! My husband is a "sweetaholic" too! He cannot stay away from anything sweet. Luckily I…

My boundaries: Staying under my calories for the day (that leads me to log my meals early in the day) No eating after dinner (I don't set a definitive time on when dinner needs to happen) No alcohol save 1 day a month (way too many wasted calories) That brings me to what my old doctor said about my eating. He said I was…

Thank you! <3

Thank you! I have four kids, two sons and twin daughters. The younger son and the twins were born almost to the day 12 months apart, so that is why all my grands are so close in age. Wow! Your mom and grandmother were busy saints with many blessings!!!!!

LOL, that's what my kids say too! They are so happy Nana watches all their kids instead of going to daycare. I am glad too but with my weight being so high I do get exhausted and need to get back to a heathy weight and healthy me so I can keep this up. I have a 7th grandbaby on the way!!! Here's a picture of my grands

Thanks! :)

Ok, my name is Kelly and I have been watching this group since I restarted in Jan. I have lost over 100lbs a couple of times. I am trying to lose it and make it stick this time by joining in on the community boards and making friends that will encourage and hold me accountable. I want to join this group but I don't like…

It's a great tool for tracking your daily calories, and exercise and recording you success. If you're consistent you will be very successful. Welcome and good luck!

Thanks for your concern and thoughts. I am doing much better now and haven't had to take anything for sleep. But I am glad you have found something to work for you. :) If I do find sleeping a problem in the future I will try adjusting my calories. So no worries.

No, I am eating the same and my sleeping is much better. I think I just needed to adjust my bedtime and get used to my new diet.

Just an update. Since trying to stay up a bit later and maybe my body just getting used to the drastic change in diet I have been sleeping much better. Thanks again to everyone for the suggestions and help. <3

What an accomplishment! Can't wait till I'm there too. <3

I have lost I did this too for 10 months. The weight came off. I don't have an eating disorder either. I don't understand why people can't just let others do what works for them.

Ok, thanks for the info. If going to bed at a later time doesn't help I will try the increase in calories. :)

Tell me about it! lol So, I will try and push my bedtime to as late as I can stand it. Thanks for your suggestions and help.

I am losing 2-3 lbs a week. I know I couldn't stay up that late. I watch my 6 grandkids (I'm 52) 5 days a week and too tired after they leave for me to stay up past 8pm. I guess I can try stretching to 8:30 or 9 and see if that helps.

I do drink coffee but it's one (sometimes, but not often 2) cup when I get up at 6:45 am. I am not drinking any alcohol. What kind of things should I look for as far as going to bed after eating "certain things". I don't go to bed hungry because I usually go to bed about 2 hours after dinner. Also, why is 1200 too low?…

I have upped my spinach consumption and am now taking a daily multivitamin that includes magnesium, so maybe? But I should try taking the melatonin. I was awake at 3am today and decided to get out of bed by 4:30 because I knew I wasn't going back to sleep. Thanks for your suggestions!

I'm not exactly sure what info I need to know that. I weigh 256 and eat 1200 calories a day.
