Since you don't have much weight to lose you probably are not bingeing as much as you think. When you binge, enter the food in your diary to get an idea of how bad. As for the emotional stuff, My daughter and soon to be ex-son-in-law have worried me almost to death the last 15 years. Right when I started this site, they…

Wow - The comments sure got brutal. Military wives do get lonely and feel alone when their husband is deployed. Nothing wrong with asking someone to pray for you no matter the reason. They can either do it or not do it. As for me, I don't like to judge and I have lots of prayers to go around. Hope everything goes well and…

Ha Ha - My daughter watches Jerry Springer. When I ask her why she says it is a stress reliever! For some reason, I am fascinated with Hoarders. Maybe I am like the other poster, it makes me feel better about my house keeping.

Sometimes mothers are wrong and today, your mother was wrong with what she said. If your mother has always been thin, she has no clue how hard it is to lose weight. You have done a fantastic job losing 33 pounds. Your mother should be telling you what a wonderdul job you have done instead of telling you that you need to do…

Hi, I don't know the answer to your question but this is what I do. I enter my food before I eat it to see what the calories, etc are on MFP. If it is more than I thought, I delete it (red button on end of food listed) and try something else. Just put this in your food diary and see how it works out for MFP guidelines on…

I have health issues that keep me from exercising very much. I do what I can but it isn't much. As long as I follow the MFP guidelines on calories, ect. I still lose weight. Hope you have a quick recovery.

Congrats to you! My first goal is to get out of the BMI Obese category and work from there. I am trying real hard to be there in the next 2 months. Good Luck

I am pretty much the same way but once I joined this site, I figured out I could have more food for the calories than pre pracked frozen meals so I started cooking again. I cook more than 1 meal portion and then freeze portions for later. It is a lot cheaper and I don't have to cook everyday. Good Luck

Me either until I found this site. It has been an eye opener for me! I love this site and I better understand now about food and calories. I love this site and it is working for me. Good Luck

Just my two cents worth of barn yard logic. Make sure the hubby wears boxers, not briefs. Not to be a kill joy or anything but being older and wiser, I think it's a good idea to get a lap dog first as they require a lot of attention and time. If you are up to the job of taking care of the little doggie, then think about…

Thanks for posting. Stories like yours keep me motivated. Good job and you look amazing!

Having had a heart attack myselfr at a fairly young age - CALL 911 NOW - you can't stop a heart attack, only injected medications can stop a heart attack.

Just a little tid bit here. I plan ahead and enter my food before I eat it. It helps me stay on track and not go over my calories. Good Luck

I love this site. As long as you follow the MFP guidelines you will lose weight. Good Luck

I have health issues so there is a limit on what I can do exercise wise. I do what I can but it is so little, I don't log it. I do follow my MFP guidelines on calories, ect. to the tee and I have lost 9 pounds since September 1 so you can still lose weight. I also have thyroid issues so I am very excited to lose anything.…

Why?

I really like the Greek Yogurt. Choboni is my favorite and my go to food if I am in a hurry or just can't decide what I want to eat.

Love stories like yours - it keeps me going! Thanks for sharing - You look Fabulous!

Actually I am the opposite of you. Before MFP, I was eating out of cans and other prepared meals. Since joining MFP, I actually have started cooking again and actually like it. I do have to freeze a lot of stuff or eat the same thing a couple of days a week but it is still good.

Looking at your photo you have a beautiful face and nice hair. You sure don't look fat and ugly! I am old so I can say this - you have to love your self first and then love others.

You will love this site. After forty years of dieting, thanks to this site, I finally know what I am doing. Just follow MFP guidelines and you are on your way. I enter my food before I eat and it helps me stay on track. There are lots of folks on here that have lost huge amounts of weight. Everytime I read about them it…

Anorexic people do not cling on to fat or muscle because there is none to hold on to. Their body has consumed it's self and they are not much more than skin and bone. I do not believe the starvation point is a myth on an other wise healthy person. It is nature verses nurture. Your body will prepare for a famine when you…

I put them in the freezer peel and all. True, I have to use a knife to peel them when I want to use them but if you wait about 2 or 3 minutes, they are easy to peel. Like another poster said, I have done the banana ice cream thing and it is so good. I just cut 2 frozen bananas in chunks, add a little sweetner and they…

I felt like that until I found MFP. It has changed my life and if you follow the guidelines, it will change yours. On this site, you don't have to torture yourself, you don't have to exercise for hours on end and you don't have to deny yourself of the foods you love. All you have to do is enter your food (I enter before I…

I just glanced at your profile. You are simply having a bad day. You have all the reasons down of why you want to lose weight and having lost 27 pounds is amazing. Please don't let some low life (incest qualifies for low life in my opinion) RUIN this for you. Be your own dog- hold your head high and keep on trucking on you…

Mistake number 1 - doing it for someone else and not yourself. Easy to correct - do it for yourself, be accountable to your self. Once you lose your weight and get a healthier you, your ex will probably be some where needing a round of penicilin based on his behavior. Revenge is sweet!

Ha Ha - You had me going for a minute or two! Funny

Enter your food before you eat it and save some calorie room for somthing you really like. If you do binge, enter everything you binge on in the food diary to see the damage and how much you will weigh in 5 weeks if you eat like that everyday. It may not be as bad as you think but on the other hand, it could shock you…

If I don't like something, I don't eat it!

I keep reminding myself after taking care of everyone else all the years, I am finally taking care of me. Like the other poster said, MFP friends and stories offer so much in support and inspiration. Also, if I mess up one day, I get back on the next. No one is perfect and everyone is different. Good Luck
