False (not cause I did cheat, cause I never loved anyone but my now hubby XD... liked sure, but not luuuuuuuurv) You are currently in this forum to avoid food cravings

Not too helpful and it built some really bad habits that have been hard to break... like going to the McDonalds across the campus almost every night on my way home.... Imagine being forced to drive past a physical temptation that was part of a routine every night at 10pm when you are…

On days I don't work out (or can't) I usually eat a rice cake (chocolate or cinnamon sugar ones are 50 cal each! woo) and then down a bottle of water. This tricks my brain into thinking I had something sweet and terrible and the water makes my tummy feel full. Fighting cravings though... that's a whole other story...

Woo! That smile and confidence is awesome! You’ve made massive progress and can definitely make it the reat of the way!

definitely not "small" progress! That's awesome!

Next "small" goal is to get to 180 pounds - this was the weight I was stuck at for half my life including all of high school. Then on to 160 ish hopefully by February when my husband and I go out to Cali to see the family

I don’t mind at all! I’m 5’6”

Thank you! It's a bit embarrassing so I appreciate that! Massively! This is the first time I've been able to get the healthy ball rolling and keep it going for longer than a month! I feel better now, both in energy and in self-esteem, than I ever did when I was younger and struggling with loosing 30 pounds!

I weigh in every morning, which would be reaaaaal bad for my psyche if I didn't also log it. It's really easy to only see what happened that day - I've gained 2 pounds overnight before! But because I also log my weight every morning, I look at my reports and see the progress and healthy decline in each week, month, and…

I know that feeling! Take a deep breath and press the mental restart. It's always tempting to keep binging because you feel like "I've already ruined XYZ days" but just as you can keep going backwards, you can always start moving forward again. Depression and stress is really hard to fight against but it doesn't control…

You look stunning! (And the new hair cut looks perfect on you too!)

I think my biggest issue is McDonald cravings - which I'm pretty sure I just have to stop looking at is as even being a possibility. I eat things I like, their just healthier things I like haha. Never really had an issue with sweets so accounting for a desert or treat here or there isn't the issue. I just get hit with…

Ah, sweet thank you! I didn't just want to assume I'm doing great when I might not have been. And totally too much info for no real reason other than menstrual cycle was mentioned a couple of times - I actually have PCOS and haven't had a cycle for a year and a half :p Just another hurdle to overcome, oh wells. I'll stay…

Welcome to you as well then!
