  • Hi, everyone! I had my last drink on January 7th...so I am only four days in but I would love to join you guys. I am doing this for several reasons. I blame my drinking of lots of wine over the years for packing on 30 lbs. Well, I though it was only 30 lbs but when I got on the scale yesterday I realized it was actually 38…
  • I, too, and going to try to go now alcohol for two months. I put a lot of blame on me--and my love of wine-- for gaining 30 lbs since the birth of my daughter three years ago. I also think alcohol has caused other health issues and is making me not sleep so well, so I am looking forward to seeing if some of these things…
  • My ex and my current bf have acted the same way when I was losing weight. I get the comments "But I like you like this!" "You are sexy, you have curves, don't lose your curves" "Is there someone else you are trying to impress?" I hate it. And then ultimately they end up not being as supportive and I almost feel like I have…
  • Hmmm I lost 39 lbs from the time I checked in to the hospital to deliver my daughter and my one-week check up lol. To be fair I lost a baby and a ton of water weight
  • It was the Brownie Overboard. It consists of 3 brownie triangles with a large scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce and caramel sauce drizzled. Are we really surprised that it has more than 700 calories? I worked at Red Lobster for years... and I worked there while I consistently counted calories and ate…
  • I have "cheat meals" twice a week. Usually Thursday and Sunday nights. I still log everything I eat and I still try to not overeat but I try to genuinely not think about the calories and enjoy the food. I also let myself have a little booze those nights too. Since it is not a whole day and it is spaced out I have always…
  • I've counted calories before and been successful. I didn't use MyFitnessPal but a similar website. I joined weightwatchers recently and logged for about a week and hated the points system so I cancelled the account and switched to here. I'm much happier here and I'm losing weight. I agree with some of the above posters…
  • Sometimes... it just clicks. I have tried over and over again to lose weight my whole life. When I was 25, it clicked one day and I was able to stick to it for about 9 months and lost around 70 lbs. I have had a baby since then and have tried to lose some weight (not baby weight really bc the weight came before the…
  • I'm not "plus size" per se...however, I do agree that it also depends on where you carry your weight. It takes me FOREVER to drop a pant size but I carry my weight in my hips and thighs. Last go round of weight loss I got down to around 150 and felt like I looked a bit sickly on my top half but still wore a 9/11 in juniors…
  • Thanks, guys! Yes, it can be discouraging but I am determined to get back to where I want to be :) Thanks!!!
  • Hey there guys! I'm glad I'm not the only one out there! I am new on my coda journey so I'm just starting to pay attention to all my bad habits. There are many! Lol
  • I have gained about 15 lbs on Mirena recently but I also haven't been doing anything to curve the weight gain. I started my dieting yesterday and hope to at least lose that 15 lbs by end of summer. I also turned 30 around this time so I can contribute a little bit of the gain to just getting older and my body changing. I…
  • I had Mirena placed in August of last year. Since then I have gained about 15 lbs. Ugh. I am now attempting to reverse that damage and then some.
