Restarting MFP and daily logging as of today. I lost 50lbs but became very unwell and struggled with intense cravings - low and behold I was eating far too many quick digesting carbs. Stopped logging to search for a solution to lose remaining 50lbs and here I am! Been following paleo then keto for the last two months and…

Just what I needed to read! Thank you and congratulations!

I agree and I'm glad you raised the point. I struggle with clinical depression and anxiety. In the days yonder of troughs, I would bury myself in a book or in bed and not answer the telephone, turn off the lights, etc. At least now I often reach out to others albeit via online mediums. Specific to myself, I have discovered…

Loved this so much I wanted to requote! It's +1 for me. Life isn't worth living without my daily piece of chocolate - 57 calories of bliss!

You have received several pieces of excellent advice. I particularly agree with the comments re caloric intake. Why don't you calculate your TDEE accounting for your current activity level? Then use a 500 calorie deficit to result in an approximate 1 lb/week fat loss. The more active you are, the more energy you need. If…

Now that is an apt name for this month! I fell off the wagon last month and ready to get back on. Now I have the knowledge of how even just one drink hinders my weight loss journey. Let's do this!

I know what you mean! The first week is the worst, especially if you have drinks in the house. Can you hide them? I pack beers behind items in the fridge/ in a special awkwardly placed cupboard which I never use. Out of sight; out of mind! Another strategy is a bit of reverse psychology. Allow yourself to have whatever you…

I loved my evening drinks too but my body developed a sensitivity and after just one drink I would wake up fuzzy and hungover the next morning (worse if I drank more). It has been a tough habit to break (routine, relaxation method, social lubricant) but I am glad to say that I am morning-fuzzy-free, and a little slimmer…

I think it is the loneliness that gets me. We moved from Australia for my husband's work in the US. (Read very few friends.) I fell back into a pretty good routine when he came back, but I realised all the things I could have done/seen whilst he was away! (That he isn't interested in!) I'm going to write a list of…

I am confessing to emotional eating this week, namely chocolate, and not logging my food accurately. My husband has been away for the last week and the last few days have been a struggle. So I have been reaching for the comfort food and watching excessive tv for distraction. The excess sugar makes me feel disgusting and I…

Oh my gosh, can totally relate! I worked in a continental deli with the most delicious deli meats, cheeses, antipasto, candied nuts, confectionary and high quality chocolate! 10 years later I can still remember the smell of the chocolate! I feel your pain. I read about a slightly strange method of relieving cravings - it…

Well done to each of you sucessfully committing to the challenge - you have been inspirational! For those who have fallen off the bandwagon: good health is about several good choices everyday. One slip up is not going to derail you. :smile: I have been dry for at least 2 weeks now. We had a dinner party on Friday night and…

Just for today: - I will focus on who I am now, rather than who I used to be. - Mindfully eat meals and ensure I eat at regular intervals.

Are you pear shaped? If so, it might be one of the last areas to slim down. I have the same problem and trying to incoporate lower ab work e.g. leg raises into my routine. However, I think the calorie deficit is the most important factor for fat loss. Try measuring about 2 inches below your navel each week to check your…

Well done to both of you and thank you for sharing!

Just for today, I will: - Treat myself kindly and acknowledge my achievements - Follow my food plan - Continue C25k training - Aim for sleep by 10:30pm

You may not want to read this but getting counseling will really help. Once you identify the feelings behind the urges, you can then take steps to avoid binge eating. It takes a lot of work and time to work through this and an objective outsider will be helpful. I have a variety of triggers for emotional eating so I try to…

It's true; a well-balanced nourishing variable diet and regular exercise keeps your menstruation much more regular and manageable. I was diagnosed over 10 years ago. Listen to your body and how it responds to current foods before deciding on a restrictive diet. Do you feel unwell after eating red meat, bread, pasta, etc?…

Exactly! Congratulations and keep up the excellent work!

Congratulations on your fantastic achievement thus far. I have heard that the last few pounds are the hardest. Maybe you need to shake up your exercise a little bit and/or look at your food diary to check for any little fatty gremlins. Also, keep in mind that your body will find its own heathy weight and size, as long as…

I agree with all previous posters' advice. Start small, find something you love OR find the least objectionable and gradually increase. My addition is to be mindful about the effect exercise has on you to increase motivation. Note how you feel just before you exericse (can be a scale out of 10 - 1 very poor; 10 excellent)…
