What I'm about to say may be a little crazy, but hear me out. I agree with what other people said about the food-happiness being a false memory, but I think it can sometimes be more than that. Eating can make us happy, but we also can attach a lot of emotions to our eating experience that give us a sense of routine, love,…

This has been something I experience all the time! It can be frustrating, but I think it's gotta be normal. I noticed this when I was gaining weight too and pictures would shock me! I think our brains must be wired to see the exact same person that it saw yesterday until we die. Sorry if that's too morbid, it's just my…

You are not alone! I don't think it's carbs for me though, just any time I overeat or eat stuff that isn't good for me. The next day, I have the urge to keep eating like that. I don't understand the biochemistry of it, but I know that the next day I definitely have to put more energy into eating well when normally it's…

I think all of the little things I did were really important for the changes I've made. When I first started my boyfriend and I wrote down goals, and they weren't just "lose __lbs," they were also: Conscientious snacking, deny cravings; portion food intentionally and portion before you eat; be mindful of hunger and…

The only times I've had problems with snacking are when I don't measure/portion before I start eating. When I'm measuring it, I'm more intentional about the snack. For example, lately I've been eating spoonfuls of peanut butter occasionally. It was worrying me because it seemed like bored snacking. I wasn't being careful…

This was beautiful! YES! I love not thinking about food all the freakin time. I love portioning my food. As a previous mindless snacker, this has been huge for me. I love sharing this experience with my boyfriend. I love feeling healthier all the time and not being in a rush to lose a certain amount of weight by a certain…

I did not continue posting with this challenge, but did think to consider positive things and accomplishments throughout the month (even when it was just "I survived"). I lost 8.8lbs!

I want to lose about 86lbs total and so far I'm down 27lbs. Two of the most important goals I've made are to log my food honestly every day and decide to continue making changes every day. My biggest motivator/support has been my boyfriend. We're both losing weight, making similar changes, and encouraging each other. With…

I am currently eating about 1200 calories per day and have lost 25 lbs total. Here is my advice: 1. Track (!!!) and try to meet your calorie limit every day, but don't be too worried about going over. That will be discouraging and make you want to quit. Track with fidelity, and you'd probably still be in a caloric deficit…

Yes! The other day I was really stressed and jogged. After, I realized I was running away from my problems :smiley:

Today I have been stressed and exhausted, but I'm happy that I ran errands I needed to run and can go to bed before midnight.

THIS. Making my own coffee and breakfast in the morning is so imperative.

Hello all! I last weighed in yesterday, weighing 187.8. I've lost 18.2lbs total so far. Today's accomplishment is really a week's accomplishment: I've juggled grad school, work, eating well, and exercising this week. Today was my last day of classes for the week, and I'm happy to have survived. Also, I'm super happy to be…

That's what I'm looking for too! Add me :)

Add me! I'm also 27 and would like the motivation :smile:

I had 86 from my starting weight to lose (71 more to go). I still have quite a bit to go. How long have you been trying? It can be really hard. Something that helps me is to take it one day at a time. Every day I make a new decision to be mindful of what I eat. If I eat a lot, I don't get down on myself. If I meet my…
