  • I also struggle with emotional eating. Not only that but I just really enjoy food. If you are going to snack, snack on things that won't kill you at the end of the day.... stuff like cucumbers or celery which are so few calories and not a bunch of the other things. For me, if I have chocolate in the house (my weaknesses…
  • Thank you for sharing this!! I can't believe I am posting this on a public board but my weight has fluctuated from 154'ish in high school after losing 30 pounds when I thought I was fat around 180 pounds... to 182 in Weight Watchers when I joined at 280 pounds a few years ago.... so I lost 99.75 pounds doing WW and gained…
  • I lost 99 3/4 pounds doing WW about 15 years ago (total about 120 including the weight I lost before joining). I spent months at 99 3/4 pounds per WW and could not get that last quarter pound off and was not happy. I have learned throughout my life that my weight is reflective on my level of happiness, unfortunately. I am…
  • " Then you said your partner hasn't said anything and he "loves you for you". Is it just because you've caught him looking at women?[/quote] I just feel when someone says I love you for you it's a cop out. He's always looked at other women, it's just in him. I think I just want to feel special and wanted sometimes. He…
  • I have to agree with you completely. And interestingly enough, my other half doesn't seem to be very interested in my body at all. He tells me I'm beautiful or that I'm pretty. And it rips my heart out. I am doing Myfitnesspal for me, not anyone else. I want to get off my blood pressure pills. I hate being obese. And if I…
  • I'm down 50 from my heaviest weight. I still have around 70 to go! Please feel free to add me!!! We can do this!!! One day and one step at a time!!! <3
  • I'm down almost the exact same amount since my heaviest weight!! Yep, lots of encouragement on here! Keep going!!! :)
  • I watched Forks over Knives about 2 weeks ago and I really liked it. I wasn't surprised either with the obesity information or health risks to eating unhealthy foods. I have however cleaned up my eating by quite a bit since about April or May. I love sweets. One of my biggest issues is sugars. I love my sugar and can't…
  • Hopefully that helps!!
  • Click the Add food and when the next screen opens, there should be a bar code icon that looks like a scanner in the top right corner. You may have to download a barcode scanner app on your phone before it will work. I know I had to.

  • Has anyone watched the movie Forks over Knives? It was sent to me as a gift by a friend of mine who tried clean eating and working out and lost of bunch of excess weight. I FINALLY sat down and watched the movie last night after owning it unwrapped for over a year... It was full of a lot of great information and I would…
  • Hi Linda! Welcome! You can do this!! Remember it's mind over matter. One huge very important suggestion is to set SMALL GOALS and then keep changing them. Like for me, I like to set my goals at like 15-20 pound intervals. Then change my goal as I reach each one. That way it's not as high of a mountain at one time to think…
