Losing weight is a matter of "calories out" vs "calories in". There must be more calories going out than coming into your body. If you aren't losing weight, you may be eating too many calories.

Awesomesauce! Keep up the amazing work, everyone! You all look incredible!

Same here, I struggle with overeating and binge-eating too. Usually it's late at night between 9 and 11pm, and I'm usually wanting sugar/carbs because of the lack of energy by that time. To combat this, I hit the gym instead of the kitchen and it works like a charm.

Weight loss plateaus are normal. You lose X amount of weight and your body has to recalibrate itself to your new lighter body. Give it time, you will break through it. Just keep going and keep up the great work. I recommend changing up your exercise routine to shake things up a bit.

All of these apply to me as well! I actually prefer a healthy home cooked meal to takeout.

Yes! The same thing has happened to me since I began my weight loss journey two years ago. My eating habits changed dramatically and I can no longer eat the type of foods I used to or the volume. Not only that, I prefer my own home cooking to takeout or fast food. It's fresh, healthier and more flavorful. If I try to eat…

Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. As a caregiver myself, I know how stressful it can get and like you, I also struggle with stress eating. This is a difficult time you are going through right now, so be kind and gentle with yourself. Just take it one day, one…

Well yeah, they're cookies no matter what, but the idea is having something that offers more in nutritional value than a regular cookie. At least these are lower fat, lower sugar and contain some degree of protein. If I'm going to eat cookies, I'd prefer to eat these. To each their own though.

"Be kind to yourself" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. It's easier said than done, but worth the practice. For me, it means to forgive myself when I mess up. Like a lot of people, I tend to be my own worst critic. I need to not be so hard on myself all the time and not punish myself for…

Holy smokes! The same thing has been happening to me at work too! I'm 35, lost 125 pounds with another 50 to go until goal and all my 55+ coworkers are criticizing me for it! They're all like "Oh you could eat some cake it's okay" (after I have politely declined!), "Oh you don't need to lose anymore weight" (like they have…

Powercrunch Choklat bar. They are fabulous, I cannot say enough good things about them. For someone who has the worst sweet tooth known to mankind, these are a true lifesaver. The times that I crave chocolate, I just reach for one of these instead of a traditional candy bar. Only 110 calories, 5 grams of sugar and I think…

There's a great quote by Muhammad Ali: "... everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you…

You all inspire me so much. This is it. This is why I started this thread, because there are days when we all need a little reminder of why we began this wonderful journey called weight loss. And you are all living proof that it can be done. It's going to take some hard work and elbow grease, but it can be done. It IS…

Going to make a nice hot cup of jasmine green tea.

Falling in line right behind you. This time of year is always difficult to fight cravings because the temptation is everywhere.

That happened to me the other night and I wondered why. Turns out some sports event was on TV that the guy next to me wanted to watch and could only do so on the machines by me.

I still think they should make one-serving packages. Would make things easier and remove temptation.

Omg this is my life this week!

You all look amazing! I am super proud of you guys! Keep up the great work! Awesome work, everyone!

1200 calories a day seems to have worked out just fine for me- I've lost 125 pounds and no, i'm not "starving". I'm eating healthy, exercising every day, drinking plenty of water, getting plenty of sleep, etc. Maybe you need more calories in than I do for whatever reason- that's fine, you do you. If I eat more than 1250…

Guys who fall in love too fast. Like when we've only been chatting online for one week and he think's we're "meant to be together". Slow down, buddy!

Don't give up, folks! You've come too far. Whatever roadblocks you might be encountering are only temporary.

I buy these cookies all the time, they're delicious!

I love hugs.

@mg07030 : I really have to try it next time I'm in the city, it sounds wonderful. I saw some pictures of it online- it looks good!

Thanks!

You can do it, Kara! Don't give up!
