Seconded. Depo messes you up while you are on it and worse when you come off of it.

If calorie counting is easiest for you, then focus on calories. Don't make drastic changes, just go with the easy "eat less, move more" (and I don't mean easy in the doing, I mean easy to remember and keep in mind all day). Small changes day in and day out and you will get there. If you are having trouble staying on track…

I went from drinking 5-7 bottles (20oz) or more a day and eating very little (seriously, maybe a peanut butter sandwich at night and soda all day), then went to four a day, then two a day, then one a day, and now I allow myself a single 12 ounce can. Granted, that still puts me over the amount of sugar I'm supposed to…

I take small steps and I don't look at it as "Ugh, I have to do this watch-my-calories-thing for the rest of my life"...which is discouraging to me...but rather as "Hey, today is a new day I get to be aware of my body and what I'm putting into it." When you screw up, which you will, because everyone does, remember that you…

My sister broke both bones in her leg as well, plus dislocated and broke her ankle. Lost a bit of bone and cartilage from her foot while she was at it. She didn't gain while she was more or less bedridden for almost 2 months following her surgery (which left her with 12 screws and a metal plate), as she was extremely…

I put on 45 lbs in under 4 years while being in a very unhealthy relationship and now that I've dusted off my ex I've realized that I was eating all the time because I was so unhappy....now single and more happy than I could've imagined, it's time to change all the unhealthy habits I've picked up. I'm doing it for me :)

Consistent repetition of "No, thank you." Eventually they will get it. Just don't give in, stick to your decisions and keep saying no. The people around you are always going to try to get you to make unhealthy decisions to make themselves feel better about the fact that they are not making healthy decisions like you are.…

Do not let him get you down! Maybe he needs to see you succeed before he will really be able to make the commitment it takes to lose weight. Your motivation can be taken from any of the users here, from your children, from other websites/bloggers/books/wherever you can find it, but equally as important is what comes from…

For me binge eating is a coping mechanism. Am I stressed? Tired? Annoyed? Frustrated? Anything other than blissfully happy? Solution: BINGE! Food has long been a coping mechanism for me. I don't keep many treats in the house that are more than single serving items (i.e. an individual bag of chips/chocolate/whatever)…

I didn't lose weight from doing hot yoga (or yoga in general) specifically, but the feeling of triumph after conquering a long class was immensely helpful because a) I wouldn't want to go and eat lots and undo all of my hard work and b) the classes were very stress relieving, so I wasn't stress eating on top of my normal…

I'm pretty close to the same. Even though I've been told repeatedly that spacing out your calorie intake more evenly throughout the day will keep you from overeating at night/in the evening, I find that I'm happier if I have more calories to eat in the evening and can have one big meal rather than 3-4 little ones during…
