See a mental health provider to get to the root of it too.

Whoop! I'm going to try this- need to mix it up. Looking for my tape measure now...

Starting weight Jan 1: 184 Weekly weight Jan 22: 177 Weekly weight Jan 29: 176 Weekly weight Feb 12: 175 Goal weight end of March: 159 Not going at the pace I'd hoped lately. Some Girl Scout cookies have been in my way lol. I'm giving them the boot today.

I've lost 43 basketballs. That's crazy actually!!

Also custard desserts

Breakfast burritos (any time!)- eggs, black beans, salsa, cheese all rolled up in a tortilla. Really good. Also look for bi bim bop- it's Korean I think- basically a big bowl w/rice on the bottom, different stir fied veg and pickley things (and meat if your into it) and it's topped off w/a soft fried egg so the yolk goes…

Sometimes you just know you got this! Good job!

How about split the difference and go to 1650 for a few weeks to a month- see if that shifts you and can avert the hangries.

Also- there's a big range of normal lab results, so if you're still feeling bad still, revisit w/ your doc.

Yep, agree w/ above. I've been hypo all my adult life. Overweight when I eat too much, back to normal when I eat less. If you have issues with water retention, maybe you can reduce your sodium. That helps me.

Maybe you can have this heart to heart chat directly with him, when you're both calm and rested :) Give him a couple of specific things you'd like him to do or say and give him the opportunity to change it- maybe he will prove you wrong if you are sincere about what you want or need.

"You're so skinny!"

I personally think it's a myth that it depends on how much you have left. I know tons of people that have lost 1 or 2/week right up till goal, with counting cals and exercise. Now if you are mentally trying to learn to maintain or you are feeling cranky or hungry or some other reason you want to slow it down, yes, fine.…

Today/ this week it's: grapefruit!! I've gotten some sweet and juicy ones lately. And what the heck is a cherimoya?!? Gonna hunt for that- how do I not know about this?

Fruit! Juicy fruits are better to me (citrus, melons, apples).

I cut out things I have trouble eating in moderation. So if there are foods like that for you, it may be easier to eliminate. For different people that varies a lot. Look at your own patterns and learn and adapt. Good luck!

I'm weighing in Sundays too- one more down! Good job everyone! Challenge start weight Jan 22: 177 Weekly weight Jan 29: 176 June goal weight: 146

Well only one pound from last week, but earlier in the week I was up a couple, so I'll take it. Keep on, everyone! Starting weight Jan 1: 184 Weekly weight Jan 22: 177 Weekly weight Jan 29: 176 End of March goal weight: 159

Q1- yes, if you lose weight (no if you don't). Q2- no.

There's a semi- recent journal article (I.e. a research study) that found that fast losing dieters were more likely to meet the weight loss goal (both groups had same goals like losing 12%of weight), but basically 70% of people gained all losses back in maintenance, in both groups no matter how fast they lost. Think it's…

That looks really good--was it good? I'm totally making that this weekend - all three servings ;)

Me too, my daughter is 8. Solo parenting since she was born. The thing I've found is that everything is about her, and I'm everything to her. But I didn't start losing till I put myself first. Not all day every day, but for the things I need to get this done, which for me is meal prep (several hours on weekend and…

I second the public library! I've heard good things about Leslie Sansone too but not tried her yet. But I'm a regular walker and have lost over 50 with just walking. I prefer neighborhood walks but find what you like!

1200 is not just for small old ladies or whatever. Yes I see all these super active people saying they'd never...but for many it is fine. I've been on 1200 ish for months. I'm not petite or old, but was obese (now "just" overweight). I'm 5'7 and currently 177. I have a desk job, not lifting or big burns, I do walk and get…

I just eat a little lighter (increase raw vegs and fruit, if those are allowable w/IBS), limit sodium, go for some long walks and yes to the water!

That big whoosh in the beginning is so rewarding!! Congrats and keep going!

My delicious apple today!

Sweet! I'm a regular walker too, and lost 50+ so far!

My coworker just said "dang, skinny!" When I came in to a meeting the other day. Was kind of embarrassing as there were like 4 others on the room. I said "skinny is overstating it, but yes I've lost weight"; I'm about 178 and 5'7 so not even close to skinny. I guess nice to be noticed but was kind of unprofessional, or…

I'm doing 3/31, but looks like others put 3/1- make it work for you!
