Hello. My name is Tammy. I have been a member of MFP forever (it seems). I am a yo-yo dieter and am now the heaviest I have ever been. I try to do everything all at once (complete overhaul of life), lose some weight but never quite hit my goal, then go back to the old lifestyle and gain it all back plus more. I have…

Best answer ever!! Everyone and every body is different.

I have the same issue with food. We were taught "if you put it on your plate, you eat it." So I have "clean plate syndrome." Mine is so bad, that I will clean my husband's plate too if he leaves anything. I read a book many many years ago called Intuitive Eating. It had a topic regarding this very issue and I learned 2…

I believe 2300 is still too low because I ended up binge eating after 3 days of close to 2300 and many of the others talk like getting to their TDEE is difficult to fit in that much food in the beginning.

Hello everyone. My name is Tammy and I discovered EM2WL just 4 days ago. I am still trying to wrap my head around the concept (not chastise myself for eating) but have started to track my calories based on a "normal" week. I tend to be a binge eater on my days off from work and now I know why. My average caloric burn…

Sounds like a great goal. Let's do this!

FR sent. I too am restarting my lifestyle. I would also like some support and friends in a mature age group. I log every day and read every post, however, I do not always respond. I'm the silent one in the corner but I see everything ;)

PS. I don't want to eat a "meal" just before I go to bed because that is how I gained all this weight. My body adapted to the concept of not being able to fall asleep unless I was FULL. It took me a long time to change that habit, I don't want to trigger it again. So now I try to eat just enough to "kill the burn" before…

Thanks ladies. I like the egg salad in avocado and soup ideas for dinner (salads take me too long to eat, I have to chew slowly or I eat the inside of my mouth :# ) and the burrito or drinks in the car sound good (especially the protein coffee). As far as fasting, not an option. I am surrounded by food (our store serves…

I agree. The little bit of sugar in your favorite coffee creamer is not going to be the death of your new lifestyle. If you are an all-day coffee drinker, then I would be more concerned about the coffee itself, as caffeine can trigger cravings worse than a little creamer.

I whole-heartedly agree with seska422. This is my 1 millionth start as well and baby steps is my new approach. If you want you can check my blog, I addressed this very issue. You are welcome to add me to your friends list. I would be honored to be in the cheering section while you run this race ;)

Starting over again, only this time I have way more to lose :s I would love a few new friends to help me out.
