Log every bite. Weight/measure it before you eat it.

You are my new hero!!!! I lost and regained 70 pounds. Now I am starting over. I am a preschool teacher with a long commute. I don't get manic but I get down pretty easily. I could use you as a friend. If you are interested please friend me. I am 57 (for 3 more weeks). 5'4" 251#

I lost 70 pounds a few years ago by measuring and logging every bite. i felt I could continue to lose without logging. My new job has a long commute and I stopped working out. I regain everything I lost. Now I am logging everything again and moving more. It works. I personally need to stick with it.

I'm 5'4" and need to lose over a hundred. I've lost about 16 this month so far. Could use friends for support. Friend me if you want. I carry most of mine in my belly and booty.

58 in August. Starting over after losing 70 pounds a few years ago.

Excellent!

Incredible!

Lovely! You did so well!

I could use a new friend or two. I lost 70 pounds starting four years ago. I did it in 16 months when I was out of work. I then started gaining it back because I was driving 40 minutes each way to my new job. I didn't have the energy to workout most days when I got home and I stopped logging what I ate. I am off for the…

I have heard of some people zig-zagging calories to break a plateau. Check the message boards. Hope that helps.

Four years ago I was told that I had pre-diabetes. That motivated me to give up pop and chips completely, get into a better lifestyle ( healthy diet and exercise) and lose 70 pounds. Sadly things happened in my life that don't make it easy to have time and energy to workout. I quit taking time to pre-plan and log my foods…

I buy salmon at Sam's (no skin) and slice it into portions and freeze. When I am ready to eat it I thaw it and sprinkle it with Grill Mates Smokehouse Maple seasoning and toss it on my Foreman grill (I use Pam to avoid sticking) for a few minutes. Amazing! A touch of sweetness from the ample bits and pepper and salt,…

Me too. I just bought a new scale, a new food scale, and have started over after losing 70 pounds and regaining 60+. I need new runners too (for walking). No crying though. Own your oops and get back at it. I could uses some new friends. I just cut a lot of people who haven't logged on on over a year. Friend me if you…

quinoa, kale salad, watermelon, strawberries, carrots. Fresh, clean foods. What is in season and fresh locally?

St. Cloud here.

I live in St. Cloud. I belong to Fitness Evolution. 57 y/o female trying to get back on track and lose the 60 pounds I put back on as well was the 60 I haven't taken off. Friend me if you want.

A thunderstorm....sometimes nature has the best music.

Well, I guess I have a new hero! Fantastic loss in one year!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

3 below zero right now. didn't even wear a coat. It's about 40 degrees warmer than it has been. When it hits 40 degrees here we start getting out the tee shirts and shorts. worth it though to have nice summers. Still.....bRRRRRrrrrrrr!!!

Fantastic! I especially love the idea that fat lasts longer than flavor. I say that as I am snacking on raw cookie dough and hating myself a little. I lost 70 pounds and have put 35-40 back on. I am in my work out clothes but not following the food behaviors I know I need to so that I can lose again. I better go work out…

I only eat back about half of my calories. Make sure they are nutrient dense not junk. Be careful what you believe here. For every opinion on any topic there will be several opposite opinions. You can also use the search function at the top of the page to get some of your questions answered. Good luck on your…

Please add me. I am 56 and have a long commute was well. From Aug 2011 to Nov 2012 I lost 70 pounds and was below 200 for the first time in more than 15 years. At Thanksgiving of 2012 I fell off the nutrition wagon and stopped working out regularly. I have regained half of that. :sad: :noway: :explode: I am trying to get…

I lost 70 pounds in 15 months with daily logging. I got annoyed with it and busy with a new job and a big home renovation project and quit logging. I regained 35 pounds in one year. I am back to logging and feel much better because I actually see what I am eating and i am accountable to myself. I will officially weigh in…

Hi! I am 56 and the mother of four grown children. I started gaining when my youngest was born and 23 years later I hit 267.5. I was down to 196 last Thanksgiving and regain about half of that. I have finally gotten myself back on track. I can use someone supportive and I will support you. Sharon

Not this year. After binging for months I am starting anew this morning. I am getting back to logging and working out but the weigh in is going to wait a week or so. Probably New Year's Day.

I struggle with sugar a lot. I have regained 30 pounds of the seventy I lost. it's like heroin for me. Gotta have it. Honestly if I can stay off it for 3 days the cravings go away. Then something happens, a wedding, birthday, family reunion etc and I'll think I can have one piece and I am back at 500-1000 calories a day…

Congratulation! Your hard work has paid off and you look wonderful! So happy and self-confident in the last photo!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Incredible! You look lovely and I know that you must be a much healthier woman!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Fabulous!!! You did it right! You sound like a strong woman.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Oikos Greek Lime and I add raw almonds....perfection! I also eat Oikos Greek (plain 0%) and add frozen unsweetened fruit (raspberry is my favorite choice) mix 1/2 and 1/2. The frozen fruit "stiffens" the yogurt so it is s a lot like frozen or firm soft serve. Great when i have calories left and I want ice cream or…
