Hello, me too. I keep falling off the wagon! This year has been extra hard, but I guess its easy to make excuses. Already at my post xmas weight and finding it hard not to feel down about it.
-
Same issue here. Very frustrating. Come on MFP ! I've been with you for years and this is the worst time I can remember. At least you could let us all know and avoid everybody wasting time and patience on uninstalling and reinstalling etc.

Just try having whatever is being served, but only a half portion. That way you dont feel deprived or unsociable.

This week, i am on the waggon with seatbelts!

How is everyone coping this weekend? So close to the holidays and parties all the time. One yesterday and another tomorrow. Trying to moderate calories, but sooooo hard. How do we get through Christmas!
-
Wow thats impressive. I dont think icould keep that up for long. The methid im currently applying, especially durung the holiday seasoni to eat absolutely anythjng i want......BUT, only half of a normal portion. That way don't feel all deprived. Lets see how long it takes before im having 6 potatoes at dinner again !

stephnelson2014 hows it going today?

I find it easier if theres no chocolate in the house. If i have to put on my coat and go out in the cold to buy some, i can talk myself out of it. Trouble comes when someone else in the house has chocolate !

SueSueDio Are you a Phil Collins or Genesis fan by any chance? Many thanks for your post. I'm not sure if I can get the ice cream you mentioned here in the UK, but I will have a look. I've never really been into soda drinks, so my calories are definitely not coming from there, but I have a real problem with tea or coffee…

Wow thanks for that. I will have a look. Although I like to think I could train myself to forget about sugar, you're right, that if it's only once in a while, why deprive yourself. Thanks and good luck. Do you exercise to help with your goal?
-
Thank you. Of course you're right. I have to stop adding sugar to tea and coffee or sacrifice a decent meal. I have turned over a new leaf today and started logging meals again. I had made the excuse that I've been to busy to do it for a few weeks, but it does keep you on track. Thanks again.
-
Well done you. Yes we sometimes forget it's not just the numbers on the scales. Looking forward to being toned
-
You're absolutely right. I need to be more disciplined with recording what I eat etc. It's so much more effective. Trouble is, life gets in the way sometimes and you miss recording a day or two, then it's a week. Before you know it, you've lost momentum and motivation. I'm going to restart my calorie log again today !…

Thanks everyone. Some really good tips there. I do eat very healthily, just a bit too much. I will try the 70% chocolate. It might stop me emptying the fruit bowl to get a sugar fix and then having the sweet thing anyway.

Hi, please add me. New on here. Not sure how to add people. I've been about 14 lbs overweight for a couple of years. I lose half of it, then it goes piling back on. Huge appetite does not help, plus husband that's very active and can eat for England.
-
[Same here. I cant get the last 10 lbs off either . Its almost harder than starting from scratch , as it feels like hitting your head off a brick wall. Woukd be happy to be your friend and kick this forever! Not really used to community sites, so i hope this is the way to reply. Learning as i go really. Any tips…

That sounds just like me. It's so hard keeping the motivation going when you feel like you're not getting anywhere. Also ends up being destructive. I've caught myself thinking, 'oh well, can't exercise because of bad back, feel miserable, so I'll have a cookie to cheer myself up!' Duh...

Hello, This is my first post on here . I'm fed up with going one step forward and two steps back. I need to lose 10 lbs but feel it might as well be 100. I had quite a good routine going in the gym, using Jillian Michaels dvds. I was going for the Ripped in 30 challenge, then I tweaked something in my back, and I've been…

Hi, this is my first time on here. I'm from hampshire but soon moving to Dorset

I think you just need to reset your head, from ' I've blown it, so I might as well go the whole hog' to ' tomorrow is another day and a clean sheet to start over.
