Here we go again. :/ Did well for 2 weeks and now have blown it for the past 2 days. At least I recorded all that I ate but went over the calories and sodium each day. Hope I can do better tomorrow. I don't know why I do this to myself! :'(

lorrph thanks for your input and congratulations on your improved health. I totally agree with using my challenges to motivate me to make progress. I guess I am just where you were for 20 years and haven't yet reached the point when I am ready to make the change. The other thing for me is that I have done it before and…

Does any one else have some one trying to sabotage their weight loss? I have asked and asked my husband to stop buying me candy and other things he knows I like to no avail. I have discussed with him that if I don't lose some weight he will lose me sooner rather than later. I'm on oxygen and this extra weight is killing…

Hi mrspete! Congratulations on your weight loss! I hadn't even given wheat consumption a thought. I will definitely research it. How much wheat dd you eat before? I usually have 1 slice of Oat nut or other whole grain bread a day, oatmeal a couple of times a week, potato or rice twice a week and maybe a graham cracker as a…

Hi Joand! I feel your pain! As stated in previous posts I too have chronic health problems that are very challenging to weight loss. It sounds like you are having trouble getting and staying motivated. That is definitely my problem too. I start out good, lose a couple of pounds and gain it back. Then I beat myself up about…

Hi Sarc Thanks for replying. I too have asthma but am not familiar with sarcoidosis I will have to read up on it. I did see where it can be a long term debilitating illness. How do you cope with this and do you have trouble staying motivated to do things?

I have not been on this site in several months and feel bad that I haven't kept up with this board. Shortly after I created this board my computer died and I wasn't able to continue with it. I appreciate all of the good advice from every one and from the comments I realize I am definitely not alone. I have been through a…

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I have and use a scale, have written EVERYthing that I eat for 6 weeks now. I have lost and gained the same 4 pounds. Partially due to fluid retention. It is nothing for me to gain 3 pounds over night and lose it again in 2 days. I have been at or below 1200 calories almost every day. When I am over 1200 it is usually by…

Looking forward to this group. My weight is coming off so slow. I need this motivation. Good luck all.

If I say I can't have something the more I crave it. If you go into this thinking of what you can't have you will definitely not make it. Don't think of it as a diet, think of it as eating to be healthy. I find that I will be craving something sweet and if I snack on a serving size of grapes or other fruit, my craving goes…
