I think you have to find your personal balance of nutrition. I find if I have high fiber and high protein snacks, then I do not feel as hungry. Also, I think you have to figure out if you're actually hungry. Most of the time I eat due to stress, emotional, boredom, or even just being tired can cause me to crave…

Yay! That is definitely an accomplishment! Keep up the good work! I definitely can't run that long. My goals are always run for 1:30 minutes or 1 minute at a time lol! Maybe one day I will also be able to post this similar success story.

Sure, add me. To answer your question, I don't like how gaming makes me. I become an angry person lol! So, I can enjoy watching it from the sidelines more than actually playing. When I do play it's sillier games like Rabbids. I have never backpacked, but it is something I want to get into. It's a little more difficult with…

It's hard dealing with that in your life. I agree and disagree with some of the posts above. I had a little different experience growing up, as my mother is a larger woman frame and height, and I was always being told "if you lost 10 lbs you could fit in those clothes". As a child/teen it really affects you emotionally and…

Yep... Still learning how to work around this "flaw" of mine

I think everyone is different. I can eat a light breakfast and lunch and be fine... others need a large breakfast... it depends on you and your metabolism. Sorry to be not so helpful.

It's that time of year. I've had the opposite problem of over-eating on really unhealthy foods because I did not feel like cooking nor caring. Now, I am trying to get back into the swing of things. Peanut butter is a good one as well as nutrition/energy bars. Hope you feel better soon!

A lot of us have been there. Welcome back and good luck on your journey! Nothing changes if nothing changes.

I am not into gaming, myself, but I am married to a gamer. I do, however, love the outdoors, particularly hiking and tent camping, as well as gardening. My husband and I spent our 1 year anniversary skydiving. :smiley: I am trying to determine if I want to go back to school as well, but for DS.

Nope you are not alone. I have never had a doctor that has told me anything is wrong, but I do know what it is like to go through depression and extreme mood swings. If you need a friend, feel free to add me. I am on here a lot and some days I need the extra encouragement as well.

Feel free to add me, I am too battling weight gain from pregnancy beginning 2 years ago.

I fell off the wagon slightly while being sick and am trying to get back on it right now. Feel free to add me for additional support. I have also been known to come tumbling off the wagon to be found several months later too.

There's a reason I have had yo-yo weight my life... Always working to improve me, however.

Feel free to add me. I have about 25 before I hit my next goal... but looking to lose more than that in the long run.

Yeah, to those that said weight would fall off from BFing :p

Not Bfing any more, but I have been down the same road... little one is 2, I BF for 14 months before he weaned. Feel free to add me if you want the extra support. I'm on everyday :) I still have about 25 lbs til 1st pre-pregnancy weight, but am looking to lose more than that. Supply is always the concern and 10 months is…

That's the difference between men and women's weight loss. I started my journey (again) in November, my husband in January... he has caught up to my 30 lbs lost and is still steadily going down, whereas I am slowing down. It happens. I think the best thing to do try to encourage them while maintaining your motivation. :)

Feel free to add me for additional support. You can read some of my profile and blogs to get my past story. Overall, I have struggled with weight since childhood. It has emotionally effected a lot of aspects in my life, and I am constantly battling those emotions. I want to physically be healthy as well as emotionally…

7 :smile:

I have no clothes that fit me properly...

Yes, I do this often to myself. Or more-so I compare how much I am/am not eating compared to others, and if I'm being judged because of that.

It's tough. I have a lot of overweight family members, and I'm probably the healthiest of them. I always get the "make sure you're not making yourself sick." Which I have never understood because I have always felt better when losing weight. I think that's a varied way of saying you have an eating disorder or something. I…

Exercise really isn't a way to "lose weight". It's more to look better, and be stronger. Diet is your main source of losing weight, since you need to be in a calorie deficit. You should not gain weight simply from taking a break, your body actually needs rest from work outs. Gained weight is from eating too much, or simply…

Make sure you are getting enough fiber and water. If you are dehydrated it can really slow things down.

I look at those "splurge" foods, and think to myself, "this is the reason you are overweight, do you really want this so that you can continue being what you don't want to be?"

A lofty goal, but I definitely will not be one to discourage others efforts. You could always walk part of the race if you can not run it all. There are programs like C25K (and I think a 10K) that you could look into.

Hefty girl most of my life... my skinniest I was still considered overweight according to the BMI scale...

Nice! Thanks for the comedic effect as well.

I'm still working on my goal weight, however I eat between 1100-1400 a day, even though mfp tells me about 1600 is my limit. I am 5'4"

Thank you.
