I just want to live. I don't want to die. I was living my life as hard and fast as I could and then all of a sudden I got sick. I don't want to develop diabetes. I don't want to lose a foot. I don't want to go blind. Both of my sons are autistic, and my oldest son is severe and he is going to need me for the rest of my…

Stay at home mom here too! I have 3 kids. 2 boys and a girl. Feel free to add me. As long as you're not annoyed by people who talk about their weight loss ups and downs A LOT!

Log it and keep going. There's no reason to let it hold you back long or even short term.

I have 3 kids who obviously aren't on a diet, and a fiance that isn't. It works just fine. Sometimes he'll eat chicken and rice with me, sometimes he takes his happy butt to taco bell and leaves me alone. Also I cook whatever for my kids because they're my kids and I don't want my house burnt to the ground.

Honestly, you can try all the tips and tricks and they could all fail. In which case you'd have to do the good old fashion approach - wait it out. It'll pass eventually. Some people plateau for months at a time. Eventually, it does pass.

Its definitely from working out.

I only let myself have some alcohol once a week because the empty calories. If I could I'd drink a bottle of wine every night before bed and sleep like an angel. You just have to ask yourself if its all worth it. It is calories, it will hinder your weight loss if you have too much of it. Just like if you continuously ate…

I had no idea that this is a thing but I'm very intrigued by it!!

WW is literally just a fancy, complicated way to count calories that cost a lot of money. MFP is old school, easy, tried and true calorie counting and it’s free. There’s no competition

Literally nothing prevents stretch marks. Nothing. They’re genetic. You’re either going to get them or you’re not. I’ve been chalk full of them since I hit puberty. However it’s really good to use coconut oil on your skin to keep it soft and hydrated and to prevent aging!

I gain between 1-3 pounds leading up to my period, then once it actually happens I’ll lose the weight. However I’ve gained as much as 10 pounds in the past from being on my period!

Absolutely. One free meal turns into one free weeks turns into one free month turns into 5 free years.

Absolutely. I'm right there with you. My kids (who are autistic) will only eat fast food, and my fiance is twig thin despite it.

I exercise exactly 0 times a week and I'm losing weight> :smile:

I got a health and fitness report with Ancestry DNA test. It said I'm likely to be vegetarian (HAHA!) and that I'm built to be a runner (HAHAHA)

I lost my sons. They died a day apart from each other. I dealt with my grief through food and drugs. I'm currently 4, almost 5 years clean of heroin, but my weight kept going up and up as I wasn't dealing with their deaths properly.

I hit the 10 pound mark today! Halfway there!

(giving into craving such as cookies and potato chips) "1 leads to 2. 2 leads to 3. 3 leads to 4. Then you have a big back door."

I found out I'm pre diabetic. I was never this big until I got into a relationship where I was truly truly comfortable and in a matter of 2 years had gained 80 pounds. About 5 months ago my doctor told me I was in pre diabetes (my number came back 115, 125 is diabetic.) It took a few months for me to kick myself in the…

I’m not. Tho i did lose 70 pounds before using Keto (years before this whole craze.) Currently I’m just counting calories. I’ve lost 10 pounds my first month.

It happens. To everyone. You're not really overweight at all (I'm 5'8 as well) and because of that its harder for you to lose weight. Also plateaus just happen. I've been plateaued for like 2 weeks. Frustrating, but part of the process.

I'm pretty bad about fast food as well. I have 3 kids, 2 of which are autistic, and one of the only things they can eat without puking is fast food french fries. Either from Mcdonalds, Wendys, or Burger King. All of which are within 5 to 10 minutes from my house. I have a hard time cooking because standing is hard for me.…

1. My fiancé likes bigger girls. I’m afraid if I lose to much he won’t find me attractive anymore. 2. I miss donuts. I miss big, sugary iced coffees with double cream, double sugar. 3. I love my butt and thighs. 4. I want pizza and Chinese food. 5. Counting calories for the rest of my life is just not how I imagined it…

Not the same 10 pounds but the same 3.I hover between 257 and 260. I read in a thread early that its a sign that your body is in maintenance mode rather than weight loss mode, and you should probably reevaluate how many calories you're eating.

You don't have to workout to lose weight. And you can still eat the things you want to eat, you just need to learn portion control. Have your chocolate - but have A serving of chocolate. Have your Mcdonalds, but do it knowing you're taking a good chunk of your calories in doing so. Also, there's nothing wrong with not…

Its literally one moment in the grand scheme of things. It doesn't really matter. But I understand where you're coming from. I ate a cookie and thought I was spiraling out of control, when really it wasn't a big deal at all.

Add me!

I don't want to pay anymore than I have to to lose weight. And WW is just a fancy way of counting calories. MFP is free, there's no contest! Its free and it works.

I took it a few years ago. After about 3 days I was so angry and irrationally agitated that I decided to no longer take it.
