Day 01—10/27— 136 lb. Alleluia! I never expected to get down here again. Now I am trying to give up sugar and coffee. Have given up several times in the past - longest period was 18 months- and I felt so much better. Plus my dentist was very happy with the state of my teeth. But social pressure when everyone else is…

@springlering62 I have lots of family overseas too and when we get together all diets go on vacation too! Though the last visit was 2 years ago, and I myself haven't been out of the country since pre-Covid. Perhaps that's why I've been able to successfully stay on track! Day 01—10/27— 136 lb. Alleluia! I never expected to…

@Pupowl If incentives don't work, maybe disincentives? eg, Set a goal to lose 40 lb in the next year, and swear that for every pound you fail to meet your goal by, you will send $100 to a political candidate you really dislike! And you must keep the weight off for, say, 2 years, or for every pound you regain Mister…

@Pupowl Not everyone succeeds at everything the first time! My dad tried to quit smoking several times before he succeeded, and my sister dropped out of Uni twice before finishing her degree at the age of 40! So congratulations on being willing to try, try again, rather than just giving up. I have previously lost and…

@deepwoodslady @daria0919 Thank you! Looking at old graduation etc photos with pride now instead of shame. Keep plugging away, everybody. Don't beat yourself up over getting off track now and then. Just stick to your overall plan, make necessary adjustments, and persevere. Have patience everybody, the road is long, but…

There could be a few reasons you've stopped losing. 1. A smaller body requires less fuel. As you weigh less, but still eat the same amount, you reach a point where calories in equals calories out, so the body neither loses nor gains. 2. If you are exercising as well, you are building up muscle besides losing fat. Muscle is…

I'm in again! tho my goal is not to lose this time, but to maintain newly achieved goal weight and (even better!) hip and waist measurements. I still need to record daily so I don't get discouraged by fluctuations but can see overall trends.
