I can get this feeling when I've eaten much fewer carbs than usual for a day or two.

5'1" here - I'm eating around 1400/day right now. CW 170ish moving toward 125 or so as a GW.

HERE! 33, mom of two and on a long-term path to get in shape!

I'm not sure what triggered your change of heart....knowing if it is stress, lack of time, burnout, etc. would help in giving a better answer, but I've also gone through seasons like this as well. What has worked best for me is not to take an all-or-nothing approach. I've learned to give myself "permission" in those…

I usually do a combination of "saving up" calories that week as well as doing some planning ahead. If the restaurant has their menu and nutritional information online, I would start there. Otherwise, you could plan for some lean fish with veggies - cajun food is known for spice which isn't a bad thing...lots of flavor and…

Sometimes I have to just take the approach that it isn't really all or nothing - all I really have to do to get back on track is take that first step. I'll ask myself what is one thing I will actually do that moves me in the right direction? Maybe I really don't think I can get a full workout in, but I'm willing to go for…

My realizations about halfway through my weight loss so far (35 down, 40ish to go).... - My balance is so much better. I can walk up/down stairs without holding the railings, do a quick pivot on one foot with grace, put my shoes/socks on in the mornings while standing and balancing rather than sitting down - It has been a…

I wouldn't focus so much on losing weight, but rather making sure you are supporting yourself with quality actions. Clean up your diet, but don't restrict if you are hungry - if you crave sugar (like I did while pregnant), then allow yourself a treat once or twice a week, but set boundaries on the portion. Keep moving -…

I've seen someone else use the analogy of an onion - when you begin taking the first layers off, it doesn't change the look of the onion itself much at all, but you can see by looking at the layer itself that a decent chunk was removed. As you remove layer after layer, the change to the onion's appearance becomes more and…

32, mom to two - youngest is 3. I started at 204, currently at 173, and hope to reach 125-130 by end of 2020. I've started and stopped many times through the years before I finally decided last year that I was going to do this even if it takes me the rest of my life to lose the weight...its still better than staying still…

I'm 5'1" and currently 173 - I started at 204ish last year. My progress has been really slow thus far, so I'm trying to keep my expectations at a reasonable level - I'm hoping to get down to 147 this year and then ultimately around 125 next year.

Similar to what was mentioned above, I just have to make many trade-off decisions to make it happen. I've learned to accept that paying for a housekeeper and some convenience foods is absolutely necessary. I've also had to accept that during the week, I'll only have 20-30 minute windows to work out, so I make those intense…

More detail: I have about 70 lbs to lose
