OMG I would totally do this. Glad I'm not the only one. ;)

OMG you are super amazing!! I have yo-yo'ed with unhealthy dieting for basically my entire life, and the result is I am the highest weight I've ever been. I am your "before" and I feel like just about everything you said. The cool thing is, I am on day 3 and just decided this weekend, I'm gonna move my butt, even like you…

Hello everyone! I have 103 to lose. I have done an amazing job of the first 5 days, like 1,000 times. Now I have to hold my breath to tie my shoes. I am truly motivated this time and would join a group for this if one was started.

I have just over 100 pounds to lose. I weigh more than I did 9 months pregnant. I lost all of that weight but then gained it all back over the past 3 years. Stress, new job, emotional eating and drinking and just plain old not taking care of myself at all. I have a few pieces of equipment at home now so I can work out with…

I lost a significant amount of weight a few years back, but not in a healthy way and not with the right motivation (being skinny for a particular reason , vs. being healthy and fit). I have always been able to temporarily hit a goal for an event or for example, I don't eat much when I'm upset. So circumstances have…

I had mine out. Recovery wasn't bad, but just listen to your body and doctor and be patient with yourself. Also your body will let you know your fat tolerance after surgery. You may want to introduce questionable foods at home vs a restaurant. :) hopefully that was a nice way to put that LOL. Best wishes, you can still…

Gummies in any shape, and beef jerky. If a bag of either is within my reach it is history. In order to not eat them, I just can't buy them.

Good job during the week though! Do you think it is just the wine, or the food choices you make when you have wine? I know for me it is both! I am trying so hard to make better choices and not feel deprived. I am trying to find something that will last long term. I can do anything for a week or a month or even 3 months,…

I hear you. You know you lose without it, and this one specific thing is getting in the way of your goal, but for some reason you do it anyway. Not to mention that the calories listed are for some pour that is pretty unrealistic for most people who enjoy wine, so who knows how many calories??? On the days you will drink…

Just completed week 1. Pretty much sore from head to toe so some changes must be taking place! Trying to implement the diet plan perfectly right away is a little overwhelming for me so I am incorporating her recipes slowly and will continue to perfect the diet side. I am eating healthy, just a little more processed than…

Agree w/ above post. You have to make your own stock. Takes longer but it is so worth it though, tastes much better. Make a big batch and freeze some.

Bump!!! Will try next time I get to the grocery store!

Bump! Sounds delicious!

Thanks for sharing your story. You have done a great job!

Your post hit me! I have so many times, bought more than one Subway, eat one in my car then walk into work with my "lunch". I even order them with different things on them so nobody knows they are both for me. When I am cleaning out my car of all the stuff I have eaten in secret I feel so bad. I didn't even realize what I…

You are not alone! My eating is stress related too, and it is pretty ridiculous how much food I can put away at times. I can do great all day then bam over with! I never thought about looking for a group on here. That is a good idea.

For me it wasn't the alcohol, it was what I wanted to eat after the alcohol. And if I overdid it, what I wanted to eat the next day, and so on. I personally have much better results if I lay off. But if you have more self control than I do, then any lower calorie drink is not really "bad", just like many have said on here…

For me, yes every once in a while I am not going to track what I eat. I really don't see myself inquiring of each family member what ingredients they added to their Christmas dish so that I can properly log it. Whatever the occasion is, I just make an entry with 1 quick add of what I think my calories were for that day…

I would like to join.

I typically don't log seasonings, if I did I'd be here all day. The only thing I would keep in mind is sodium as it has a big impact on my progress or lack thereof.

Me too! I could not even begin to tell you how many times I have lost and gained the same 30 or so pounds. It is the difference between feeling amazing and feeling like I have one outfit that fits. Right now I'm on the heavier end and also starting over. Once I would get down some (not my goal weight but just looking…

You're not alone! I have done the same thing and am back too. We can do this and we are worth it!

Is it just me, or does it feel like once we make a decision, opportunities to drink come out of the woodworks. Today is day 29. I almost said tomorrow is day 30, because I'm really looking forward to that number, but it literally is one day at a time and today is the day to focus on right now. There have been at least 3…

agree w/ Struggling.....but also on board. Day 25 and very happy about my decision. Keep it up you can do it!!!

@struggling......thank you! Day 24 now :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One day at a time.....

First of all cool name (OP). Unfortunately cold turkey is the only solution I have found. You will want to punch someone for about a week but then it gets better :)

I'm no expert, and have no idea what the reason is for this, but every time I let myself start drinking diet sodas (1-3/day) I am so bloated and put on weight. When it dawns on me what I have been doing differently and I cut them out again, I drop 5 or so pounds right away (like a few days). It can mean the difference in a…

215....good shoes a MUST.

for the first time in months is the part you need to congratulate yourself for. we can't fix the past, even the 5 minutes ago past. drink some water and forgive yourself so you can move on, starting now. do not beat yourself up. you can totally do this!!!!!

I'm sure about a hundred ppl have said this by now....but using plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream (w/ just a little lime juice mixed in real good) is AMAZING! Makes me wish I knew about that a LONG time ago bc you can't even really tell the difference and it is so much better for you.
