You've got this! :)

Well done!!

Im 5'9" and my goal is 150 lbs

Weight loss aside, they are good for cell nutrition. There is more to being healthy than just being at a good weight.

Bahahahahahaha

Fantastic w2g!!

Be kind to yourself. I think you would benefit from counseling.

I eat bananas just about every day...sometimes 2 of them a day...and ive lost just under 25 lbs in 10 weeks

5'9" and 165 lbs

You may want to try and keep up your calories so that your cells are getting the nutrition they need to function.

How much weight do you have to lose?

Does anyone find that salty food halts their weight loss because of fluid retention? I would kill for a pickle!

Exercise is the only way to change your shape, in particular weight training. Unfortunately diet cannot decide where the weight comes off

Your metabolism is only very slightly faster in the morning and will digest at the same rate throughout the day and night.

I always measure frozen

I track everything even if it comes up as 0 calories. As other posters have suggested i think your calculations are a bit high

Yep def peanut butter

We dont buy white bread and my kids prefer wholemeal anyway

Only my husband, kids, mum and youngest sister know about ny journey. I don't feel the need to tell friends because the thin ones dont care and the fat ones wont want me to succeed lol. Probably not true, but anyway! I started a secret page on facebook that only i can see...sort of like a blog...thinking of seeing if…

How do you find balancing diet as a shift worker? Is it hard?

I dont know how to post pics either

I like the look of stubble but it hurts my face when my husband kisses me and hasnt shaved

Ive got the depressiob without the urge to eat which is fortunate but still a horrible way to feel. Its just come on suddenly and I dont know why.

You can add me too :)

My God...how do you refrain from punching those half wits in the mouth? If its a sales person saying it, make a formal complaint to the company. If its a stranger... wow...Im not sure what Id say. Something to humiliate them.

So great...and that walk...damn!

Why do we reward ourselves with food...we're not dogs lol. Include that muffin in your calories and enjoy it...even if it means eating salad for dinner because of it. If you want a reward, get your nails done or buy a book.

I suggest looking up bob proctor on youtube and find some clips of his about living in the past and forgiveness... its truly amazing and made so much sense for me. It will help you with your ptsd. With life, it is what it is. Don't let past events define you...and this is coming from someone who has endured some pretty…

If I'm late getting to a meal I remind myself that no matter what I choose I will feel satiated at the end of it. I sometimes buy a protein bar to tide me over then might have something small in the next half hr or so like a poached egg on wholemeal toast. I needed to change a bunch of habits and keep reminding myself of…

If i watch tv then i pull out the ironing board and get that chore done. No time to mindlessly snack when my hands are busy. Cross stitching is also great to do if youre watching a bit of tv. You won't even think about food.
