Hi, You have proved that you are not afraid of losing weight because you lost 124 pounds. Sometimes I read on MFP posts that people say you should try to eat at maintenance, to get a handle on your food. Then once you do that, you can restart your calorie counting to lose weight. Since you say you are overdoing exercise,…

Welcome! I am new too, first day. Looking forward to getting a handle on my weight/life.

ladycclear, I have hand weights in the tv room. I put them there on the floor and have never been touched. Never thought to do it while in the recliner watching tv. Thank you! You can knit, crochet, give yourself a mani/pedi while watching tv, something to keep your hands busy. I need to take my own advice.

Started today. Best of luck in achieving your goals and keeping the goal ever forward.

The best day to start is when New Year's Day falls on a Monday. It is true for me, I actually did love that. And you know how many times on January 1 I blew my diet? Yup, like all the time. Yea, I was always a Monday person starting diet. Or next month after Halloween or whatever holiday or event is over. There have…

I just copied this down the other day. "Allow yourself to be happy right now. Waiting for things to be perfect means delaying the happiness that you are meant to enjoy now"

chicken on a stick, tasty

No pasta/bread - are you ever making exceptions to this - like if everyone is eating pizza? I find I make too many exceptions and then I am no longer following my rules.

A poster said to drink hard liquor with diet soda - I have read that you can get drunker faster with that combo.

Congrats on your weight loss. Sometimes a new haircut, part different, bangs maybe??? The magazines always show different shape faces with haircuts that are good for it.

I did not have surgery but seriously thought about it. I went to about 5 different support groups and I asked people who had the surgery questions. I also looked on you tube and listened to what people who have had the surgery had to say - one month out, 5 months out etc. They told specifically what they were now eating…

Thank you!!!!! And for also posting the website!

Broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers - do you really need to eat more variety than those? Sounds like you are doing ok in the veggie department. Nice that you like your nutritionist and she is helping you.

LZMiner ... "I really need to honor and love myself".... Very profound and to the point!!! Thank you!

I second what alloypoe has said. And she will always remember your not being happy with who she is.

The meetings I have been to no one gave tips, success stories and not too motivating. When they would share, it was always about their problems. Some would say that they called their sponsors and shared these same problems with them or others would say they gave it to God or they would read from different books. I guess…

All great advice above. Go for it, you are worth it to be the best you! Hugs

popcorn cake = rice cakes, comes in many flavors - popcorn, salt free, chocolate, plain etc. I binge (unfortunately). Recently while trying to eat right, I noticed I "overate". It was not a binge but just a few more than planned. It was interesting to realize the difference between a binge and overeating and not letting…

Hi, You and your family can go to many bariatric doctors' seminars and learn all about the different options with no commitment. You and your family can also go to all their support groups and hear from people who have had the operations. Also many patients have you tube sites where they talk about 1 week out, 3 months out…

Vitamin D, B's, magnisium if you are covered.

Yes, I usually don't announce it except for a few friends that also want to lose weight. So this happened to me about 25 years ago (wow, been dieting soooo long) - I was eating dinner at brother-in-law and sister-in-law's house. She said to me at the table in front of everyone "So you are on a diet?" Of course, I said no.…

Thank you all!!!!! Just do it!
-
Wow, great advice from everyone! You mentioned your weight is in your legs and you were not happy with that. Just a reminder that muscle is beautiful! You are an athlete and are strong and beautiful! Hugs

Hi, You know how to lose weight. You have to start fresh and it really is one day at a time, one meal at a time. All of the above posters gave great advice. You can do this!!!! Hugs

Is the dress already made? You can call the dressmaker and ask her to get fabric in the same material so she can add panels if needed. Just move on and start fresh. You enjoyed the food and took part because it was there, tasted good or you just needed it at that time. The stress of fitting into the dress can do a number…

Hi, I haven't had one but did you gain weight as soon as you got home from having the surgery? I gained 18 lbs. in the hospital (8 day stay, no food), a 4 day stay put on 8 lbs. and a 1 day procedure put on 4 lbs. So it could be the fluids in your IV. Keep on focusing and try to relax a bit; the weight will come off.

Onederland, how wonderful!
