I’m the same. The scale really affects my mood. Then I stop weighing and start gaining weight. I don’t even realize how much I’ve gained (even though my clothes stop fitting) until I go to the doctor once a year. Yikes!

Each time I started out healthy eating amounts of food and then slowly started eating hardly anything to lose because the thought of eating more protein or veggies made me sick. Then I would eat carbs and blow up…

I’m 51 and have lost 50 lbs since March (with three vacation diet breaks including a cruise). I too think my metabolism is slow. I want to lose 15 lbs more and then maintain for a long time. To boost my metabolism I decided to make an effort to move more. I started by taking three short 10 minute brisk walks a day. That…

Sounds like a great plan!

I really identify with the beginning of your post. I am the big girl. My sister is on the shorter side and so are most of my cousins, aunts and Mom. I had to dance the boy parts when we learned how to square dance in 5th grade. Being treated as large growing up, you just feel too big even if you are fit and healthy. I…
