EVERYTHING is easier now! Thank you everyone. I just wanted to share that yes...it can be hard and yes, it can take a long time, but yesssss...It does work!

Thats easy. I want it everyday and I beat down the urge to stop everyday as I drive by on my way home from work: Outback Steakhouse Cheese Fries and Ranch Dressing. YUM!

Totally this!

Thanks! I can't give into the craving yet (I've only been back on track for a week). Hard to not want to eat everything when that's my M.O. when emotions get involved. Eye on the prize, I guess! :)

I quit over 3 years ago and did it with the help of an antidepressant. Even with that, I still had the withdrawl symptoms you're talking about. Mostly, you're just going to have to ride it out. You can try the cessation smoking patches if it's really bad. Since you already quit a week ago, most of the withdrawl is mental…

Oh...and I love Mean Girls! :)

To the OP: You're going to find that the message board contains a TON of rude people who have nothing better to do with their time than to belittle you and try to make you feel bad about anything and everything. Ignore the haters (good practice for when you're on TV and famous!), keep moving forward. Good for you for…

I don't know if anyone already mentioned it (because I just don't have time to read all of the responses (sorry!). There's a group for you!! :) Christian Support Group - Find it, join it, love it! :)

At this point? Have her read all of these comments. If she doesn't get it then, she's not going to. Good Luck!

This.

10 pounds a month is great! Keep up your good hard work. I'm guessing you didn't put it all on at once; it comes off the same way it went on...slowly. Good luck!

It would seem I went in the wrong direction... 10/21/2011 :238.4 10/28/2011: 239.6 11/04/2011: 235.2 11/11/2011: 229.6 11/18/2011: 225.6 11/25/2011: 223.2 12/02/2011: 223.0 12/09/2011: 217.2 12/16/2011: 217.2 12/23/2011: 213.4 12/30/2011: 213.6 Actually...three days of binge eating over the holiday cased a SEVEN pound…

I get up. Toilet (whatever the body has to do, the body does!). Then I weigh, naked as a jay bird (that's stupid expression, by the way). Three times. Because the scale MIGHT be wrong. I do this every day. I USED to weight at night before bed too but I was driving myself crazy.

I know how frustrating that is. But let me just say this - you look fabulous and you've done an amazing job! You are an inspiration, that's for certain!

They are worth MORE than the scale losses! :happy:

Best Advice E.V.E.R.!! Feel free to add me as a friend. Oh...and here's another reason you're going to want to get in shape...You'll likely be doing A LOT of walking (I did when I went to Germany). Best of luck on your jouney and let me know how I can help you!

CONGRATULATIONS ON HITTING YOUR GOAL! FABULOUS! :smile:

Welllllll....Must have been those cheese fries and all the beef this week! :wink: 10/21/2011 :238.4 10/28/2011: 239.6 11/04/2011: 235.2 11/11/2011: 229.6 11/18/2011: 225.6 11/25/2011: 223.2 12/02/2011: 223.0 12/09/2011: 217.2 12/16/2011: 217.2 Acutally, I'm OK with this. I'm also under a ton of stress at work and have some…

Zombies are high in protein, they are fine. :wink:

Homemade Chex Mix. So much butter...so much yummy!

Bump - Great question and I'm loving the answers!

For what it's worth, I told EVERYONE. And here's why: The more people you tell, the more potential support you have. And the more people you tell, the more people are going to ask you about it. How are you doing, have you lost weight, etc? And more people paying attention means more people telling you what a good job your…

I love how this group keeps growing with more people weighing in every week. It's inspiring. Whether you have ten pounds to lose or 200...I love this community and I just wanted you all to know it! Cheers to all of you! :drinker:

I used to say that my scale had multiple personalities because it did the same thing. Bought a new one and it still happens occasionally, but this one is much more consistant. And I LOVE the title of the post, by the way. I lol'd. And I needed a little laugh tonight so thank you! :laugh:

Thank you for the encouragement. This week has been much better and really looking forward to the weigh in on the 9th! :happy:
