  • I too have lost-gained-lost-gained, pretty much all of my adult life ... when younger, my weight loss was due to drug use, to be honest, and then the minute I got clean, I would gain again. I have been clean for good since 1997, and following the pattern, I gained a lot of weight. 2007 was the first time I lost weight…
  • I did low carb for about a year and lost 60 of the 70 pounds I wanted to lose. I am now focusing more on low calorie than low carb, but have found checking for carbs to be an automatic habit at this point, lol. As far as keto, to each their own. I can't because of the low fat factor I have to follow due to cholesterol…
  • The one that drives me CRAZY is "what is your secret?" or "what diet are you on?" because, inevitably, when I tell them it was simply eating less and working out more, they roll their eyes with disappointment. Sorry, folks, there is no magic pill!
  • I have lost 60 pounds. I basically lost it between last July and this February and have been on the longest plateau ever! Or maybe I am maintaining?! My doctor would like me to lose another 10 - 20 pounds but I really seem to be stuck, and to be honest, I am pretty okay with where I am now, so I am not stressing too hard.…
  • I hear you! I get those catalogues from Lane Bryant, Torrid, and Roamans, and use them as kindling for my firepit lol!!! It feels great (and less expensive, you are right) to buy regular clothes in the regular stores. :)
  • Body dysmorphia is a thing. The scale tells me I have lost weight and if I take side-by-side pics it is so obvious, as well as my clothing size being much smaller. But yet I still feel like I am as big as ever and I am in mortal fear of gaining the weight back.
