Ok so I’m on day 14, does that count as a long steak? I thought not, but I’m working on it. I’ve only just come back after a looong break, but I’m planning on logging in EVERY day as I want to evict over 100lbs. You guys are an inspiration. Thank you. 😄

Never hate yourself or beat your self up. You are a wonderful person regardless of what you look like or eat! And remember it is not a ‘failure’ when we fall of our diet plans, when we splurge and overeat. In fact we are the strongest of all because we pick ourselves back up and keep going each new day.

I call myself an emotional eater and yes, that often leads to binging, sometimes to the point of making myself sick. As with previous comments understanding the triggers is the first step to controlling them. My main triggers are depression and being upset, anger, being over tired and boredom. 5 years ago things came to a…

Hi, I'm 51 and currently 133.5kg or 295lb. and my long term goal is to get down to around 90kg / 200lb. But that is very long term, I haven't been there since I was sick about 14 years ago and before that when I was in my 20's. I am on every day and am committed to losing weight to improve my life, be able to get outside…

As a lifestyle change I want to break the 'mindless eating' habit. I think that mindless eating sabotages our overall ability to maintain weight once we have lost it, as I for one, don't want be counting calories and logging food for the rest of my life. (I will if thats what it takes!) How many 'just one extra mouthfuls'…

Oh, food on the plate! I was taught never to leave food on the plate as a child and it is so very hard now. I have to say I still clean my plate so I just my my plate smaller. As an emotional eater I often eat when I am bored or lonely and definitely when I'm stressed. I am trying to use MFP as a boredom buster. When I…

You guys are just getting up and going for the day and I’m just checking in before turning the lights off for the night. Kelly, Excuse my ignorance but what do DOS and DYS stand for? As for saying ‘no’ it’s just one ‘no’ at a time. I’m not very good at it when stressed so I guess the trick for me will be to try and not get…

Hi Barbara and thank you for the welcome. I live in Australia, yeah I know, the other side of the world. South east coast of NSW (Sapphire Coast) with beautiful beaches at my front door and native forests at my back door. I am almost 51 with very bad arthritis in one knee so doing any exercise is just plain painful. I am a…

Oh WOW Rebecca, That will definitely make him envious. He is constantly looking on eBay to buy more models to create. At only 16 my boy is my gentle giant too. He is 6'1" and is a big boy with his father's muscular frame. He is my muscles and helps me out so much but at the same time can't even move a dead mouse brought in…

@coastalgosgal How old is your Lego loving son? Mine is 16 and also loves Lego although is more into star wars and stuff. Definitely not crazy! It is hard when you just 'want' that food!

This is not really about my goals except that I am trying to recognize my bad habits so that I can teach myself to break them. I am looking for friends who can help me along the way, keep me accountable without judging my many failures along the way. Just one extra mouthful I want to share a small victory (well it's pretty…

I've just returned and am looking for support too. I am planning on logging in everyday and really working on this no matter how hard it gets some days.

I'm looking for Aussie friends too. NSW South Coast. Been here for a few weeks now, so still fairly new. I have about 40kg to lose, (3 down). It's hard because due to health issues I'm not very physically active. But I'm here to lose weight! .
-
Same here. 10 years ago I lost 28kg. I have gained nearly 40kg since then. I have to get back on track. Feel free to add me too.

Another Victoria.

With pleasure. Thank you.
-
Thank you. I will do my best. I have to lose weight for my health, both physical and mental. I will help you if I can, because we can all make progress if we have support.

Thank you :) I didn't do too well today but tomorrow's another day.
