  • A bit late in joining the journey but I’m in. I lost 40lb 2 and half years ago however have put on 14lbs over the last 6 months. I’m not prepared to put any more on and need to get my behind in gear so working hard at it again. This makes me accountable 😊 SW:140lbs GW:126lbs I weigh in on Weds 11/7: 140 18/7: 25/7: 1/8:…
  • I was the same, totally addicted to diet cola, so I went cold turkey and didn’t have any fizzy soda as to be honest they are all just as bad as each other, diet or normal. I don’t deny it, it was really hard and the headache for the first ftwo weeks was unbearable however I got there. For two years I was totally fizzy soda…
  • I have worn a Fitbit for just over 2 years now and swear by it. When i began wearing it I logged and weighed everything and followed a 1000 cal deficit. This resulted in a 2lb loss every week for 6 months, total weight loss 40lbs. I still wear my Fitbit and log and weigh everything and have maintained for over a 19 months…
  • So I have a Fitbit HR, I wear it all the time and have linked it to MFP. This means my food diary is transferred and it works out my CICO. I used it to lose weight and set it at a 1000 calories deficit which meant I lost 2lbs per week... and I did. After losing 50lbs I set to maintenance but found with no cal deficit I was…
  • I think you have adjusted your bodies time clock and it has come to expect good at that time. You need to reset you clock by having a small light snack just before you go to bed, if you wake up you will have to resist for a few night until you break the cycle. Then each night eat your snack ten minutes earlier until it is…
  • Great to see it's not jus me, there are lots of you in the same boat.
  • Well done, i can do that with most foods however with cream eggs and mini eggs I just can't keep out the cupboard. The only saving grace is that they only sell them for another two months then stop.
  • Hi I am 5'3 and know exactly what you are saying. I lost 50lbs ( current weight 126lbs) 16 months ago and have managed to maintain but it's hard work. I still track my CICO as I can look at food and put weight on. I do try to make healthy choices but chocolate is a must. In order for me to both lose and keep my weight off…
  • I am so impressed by all of you who can maintain without logging. I reached my goal weight 14 mths ago and not only do I still log but I still weigh out all of my food. If I didn't do that I know I would be right back where I started. How do you learn to let go?
  • Well done! I lost 50lbs and reached maintenance 14 mths ago. I still log ever day and have a strict CI/CO plan, although I have been struggling with sugar cravings lately. Feel free to add me as I could do with the extra support just now.
  • I've just sent a friend request on a 525 day streak but plan to be here for ever more as it works for me.
  • What works for you? I have been maintaining for one year tomorrow and I still work on calories in verses calories out, with a 250 deficit. I still weigh all my food as I love food and I know I would creep back to old habits if I didn't. What keeps you going? Knowing that I am fitter and healthier than I have ever been and…
  • Have a cookie, but just one or the craving will grow and grow and you will end up pigging out. Just remember to count the calories on MFP. You body and brain need to know that there are no 'off limit' foods or you will never achieve your goal. A big single cookie is about 362 calories, just take it in to consideration with…
