Thank you so much for sharing! I've been wondering where I could use Almond Milk in recipes to help curb my appetite...as I've tried countless times to lose and just cannot seem to get motivated enough to stick to anything (I'm always hungry). It's so helpful to find recipes that don't make me feel like I have to "starve…

You look absolutely incredible! Please tell me how you even began...I am struggling just to get my appetite under control and I have 50 lbs. to lose...I can't even seem to get 5 off. You should be so proud of yourself as you are an inspiration to all that knows the struggle you've overcome. Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi there and welcome to the forum! I am currently doing the 1,200 calorie/day diet. It seems to be the only amount that actually helps me to lose - any more and I either stay the same or gain (over 1,400 I think I gain). It's an individual number I think - I have to eat less because I have an "underactive" thyroid and am…

Hi, I've had hypothyroidism for about 3 years now and all I can say is good luck. It is so hard to lose - but it can be done. This website really does help with keeping you on-track since I use to think I was eating around 1,200 calories but found out it was much more than that. I'm only weighing in every three weeks…

I know this is hard because I do it myself, but try not to beat yourself up too much! Think of it as a good friend has just gone over the edge and went off for a few weeks - you wouldn't beat them up right? You'd tell them to shake it off and tomorrow is a new day with a new you just waiting to emerge...maybe by Spring or…

Hi, Just read your post and it sounds so familiar since I have struggled with those ups and downs forever. I'm also new here but love all the support everyone gives each other. I'm only down 2 lbs but feel that logging your food every single day (no matter how good or bad you eat) is Key to staying focused and seeing where…

Hi Hetty, I set my goal higher too, but that was more for my own personal motivation then any other reason. I'm also in my 50's but know that (I'm almost 5'5") weighing what I did at 20 is not realistic (126 lbs), so I gave myself a "mid-range" of 145...that's probably a good weight for me now. If I should get there I'll…

I completely agree with you about bone size. I too, am a large boned woman at only 5'4 3/4" I wear extra large gloves and wear a size 11 shoe! I look Very skinny at 130 lbs and people are always surprised by how much I weigh now (almost 180). It's true that some people use bone structure as an "excuse" to weigh more, but I…
