I think drinking is fine as long as you are in control and are moderating. If you're getting fall-down drunk and waking up hungover, you're probably consuming thousands of calories over your target if you include hangover food. I know from experience that drinking on the weekends CAN undo a whole week's hard work. I used…

Do you enjoy cooking? I find that buying cool cookbooks and trying new recipes motivates me food-wise. But not everyone enjoys that. I have exercise-induced asthma that really acts up in the winter, and I find swimming helps with that. The warm, moist air in the pool is good for asthma. Unless you're sensitive to chlorine…

Thanks for the insight and support all! If anyone else struggles with obesity and compulsive eating due to stress etc, please feel free to friend me. I know how to lose weight...it's not so much the practical knowledge I'm looking for, but support with the emotional aspect of food addiction/compulsion and some help and…

I never thought it would get to this stage but I guess that's where I'm at to! Please add me. Desperately in need of support and happy to give it!

Same problem hear - I lose motivation after a couple weeks. Feel free to add me if you like!

I probably could lose 100 lbs but I'm aiming for 80-85. Feel free to add me!

Thanks all, love hearing your stories! It's always nice to know you're not alone on this journey! Good luck to all.

I believe that one at the bottom of the page is your calorie goal (1740) plus any calories you burned on this particular day from exercise, if you've already entered it. Have you entered your exercise today? i.e. my calorie goal is around 1400, but I burned 400 calories today in exercise so now my calorie goal for today is…

Hey, feel free to add me! Great job on the weight loss!

Good for you for starting! Good luck.

I'm in too! Age: 34 Height: 5'9" Current Weight: 256.8 lbs Goal Weight: 244.0 lbs

I've heard potassium and magnesium supplementation can help with muscle tightness and cramping. I'd ask someone knowledgeable what are the best forms to take. :) Definitely lots of water also!
