Interesting concept, I eat the same amount of food for dinner and lunch, similar breakfast every day, so it's never been a problem for me.

I talk about my weight loss, my clothing size, my endurance, my love for life, my kids, my food plan, my addictions, the way my *kitten* looks in my size 1 jeans, I talk about everything....After being buried by 85 pounds of fat for the past 14 years, I don't really care what other people think about it. Am I arrogant in…

Hmmm, I have one thing left that is a size 14, I am saving it for my daughter in law, I should put it on again and take a pic and post it also, I am now a zero, extra small. YOU look fantastic, and congratulations

I did Slender Lady for 2 years because of the contract fees....similar to Curves....there are so many options open to you.....I loved the fitness channel through my cable provider....try something like that too. PS I would not go back to Slender Lady or Curves: they seem to be for people who want to "play" losing weight,…

WTG... today size 14, next month size 12...yippee

What helps for me is to write down before bedtime what I will have the following day, then sticking to it. And organization... I have several containers in my fridge--meats in one, cooked veggies in one, potatoes in one, rice in one, lettuce in one, chopped veggies in one, and a big bowl of fresh fruit on the table. Before…

This is starvation mode reality: I drank 3 cups of coffee with creamer in the morning and a couple of snacks during the day and all the mac and cheese I could hold at night before bed. I weighed 170 for almost 3 years. One day I started eating 3 balanced meals, no flour, no sugar, no snacks and started losing 12 pounds a…

:sad: I never allow myself the luxury of a cheat day :sad:

I got help with an eating plan. I weighed on the first day of the month and not again until the first of the following month, that helped in the beginning. I wrote down what I was going to eat before I went to bed and then ate only that the following day. I work this program one day at a time. That's all we really have,…

I used to take an hour or more to eat a meal, now I'm down to about 40 minutes, and I eat a lot on my food plan.

I made pizza meatloaf before and loved it, hmmm, had forgotten about that. Basically, I made the "crust" from meatloaf (basic burger, eggs, and oatmeal with some basil, etc), spread it thinly on the pan and top with sauce, some cheese and lots of veggies. I don't know the calorie count right now but I NEVER eat flour so…

I am 4' 11" and a half and would love to be a part of this...

I am a food addict. Years ago I gave up drinking and drugs and turned to food about 15 years ago. I still remember the event that kicked it into high gear *sigh* Fast forward 14 years, in Oct of 09 I fell into a deep deep depression that ended in months of anxiety and insomnia and each night I medicated with a bowl of mac…

Addiction is a disease of the body, mind and spirit. It cannot be cured but it can be arrested a day at a time through the tools used in 12 step programs. I know, I'm an addict. I am an alcoholic, drug addict, food addict, and I have a highly addictive personality that pushes me to do everything to excess----work, kids,…

I am an active member of the Food Addicts in Recovery program in my area, which is WA state...... I have lost 68 pounds since joining them in Nov of 2010 and have been about 101 to 103 for a couple of months now..... add me if you want, ask me questions also

What really helps for me is keeping a food log. Before I go to bed, I double check what I have and write it down. The following day, I only eat what I have written down. And I always take my food with me when I go to work or out for the day. I have a couple places where I can use the microwave and I have a couple friends…

MFP says I should have about 1300 calories and today I added it up and I actually consume about 2000. I am not hungry on most days and sometimes have to really force myself to eat but I have lost 70 pounds in about 8 months and have maintained a weight of 101 to 103 for a couple months now. I tell my girls all the…

While I was losing I weighed on the first day of each month. Once I hit goal, I weighed every Friday and that's where I am right now, every Friday. Any more than that could just be obsessing.

Yes, I had that problem and I switched to no sugar and no flour and it made all the difference. I actually eat about 2000 calories a day, and I lost 70 pounds in about 8 months.

I drink sleepy time tea and it helps.

I put everything on the grill.... plain

Welcome to the site. I do have one comment and that is to track what you eat, be really diligent about that. I was here a couple years ago, without any real weight loss but it was because I was eating the wrong things. I kept to my calories okay but didn't think of the quality of food I was eating. Sure, I could have cake…

I tried WW in 1978, it was easier then I think. I only had 20 pounds to lose then and joined to be a support to my friend who was over 400 at that time. I've joined since then to lose a few pounds but the program was different, more detailed, more expensive, and I could not stick with it. In Nov I found a program that…

Yeah, I was recently divorced and was going through some old family photos. I saw a pic of me and my daughter on her 14th birthday, realized I weighed 185 in that picture and was only 181 when I delivered her. I found a program just a week later that has helped me shed the last 70 of those horrible pounds.

I am an emotional eater also, but kind of in reverse. When things are going good I eat and eat and eat and eat and eat. When things are going badly I only binge on comfort foods. In Nov I changed that behavior but the thoughts are still there just waiting for something to happen in my life to screw with me. Just last Sat I…

One day in Nov I woke up being sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. My kids were seniors in high school and I wasn't sure I wanted to be around to watch them graduate, let alone grow up and go to college. Thank God I found a wonderful program when I did that addressed the weight issue first so I felt like a woman…

When I first started my program in Nov of 2010 I could not imagine being 100 pounds, even though I am under 5 ft tall. I was 170, down from 185, and thought 120 was a nice goal. At 120 I thought 115 would be nice, then 110, and before I knew it I was 101, weight started shifting and I didn't look so "sickly." I fluctuate…

I think most people cut food and calories to lose weight and it happens in reverse. In Nov I joined a group that supplied a food plan and I was 170. Now that I am 101-103, they have about doubled my food intake and calories. Doesn't make sense does it --but it works. My metabolism must have changed because I can actually…

This makes me think, so thank you for posting. In Nov of 2010 I joined a group that assigned a food plan to me. I had lapsed into depression and anxiety and had been living on mac and cheese for about a year before that so eating three meals with a variety of foods was a challenge. For the first 5 months of the plan I ate…

I have found it helpful to keep a food log. I write down the night before what I plan to eat the following day and a time frame in which to do it. I try to eat at the same time each day, 3 meals, nothing in between. Also, I prep it ahead of time. For example, I cut a head of romaine and put it in a ziploc, then I cut a…
