Good job coming back! I am back after 2 years!

I agree with the wider toe box. It fixed this for me unless I go way over my normal limit.

Coming here is a good start! I guess I would have to ask, are you tracking every last bite you eat? Are you weighing or measuring your food? How far are you walking, what kind of pace and for how long? Are you under eating? I totally understand the weight gain after the loss of a job, been there, time to quit doing that. I…

Just making the decision is a huge start. Be sure to log all foods you eat, drink all your water, work out or walk/hike, Do not undereat, and friend lots of friends for encouragement. Good luck in your journey!

Fresh blueberries, watermelon, strawberries, peaches, watermelon, grapes, apples, mango, watermelon, corn on the cob no butter salt or pepper, plums, salads (chicken, taco, crab, cobb, etc), home made fajitas with chicken or shrimp, shishkabobs, and watermelon. The list can go on and on and on!

Daves Blues Bread toasted, 1/2 avacado mashed with a tbsp greek yogurt and and salsa, cucumber, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, very thin slices of red bell pepper, and spinach. Yummy!

I do the same thing at times. Will wake up with food in my bed or stuck to me. It sucks when you walk, talk, and eat in your sleep. Ohh the things i have woken up to either stuck to me or all over my sheets.

Hi Kathy! I am Carol, 59 (well darn close) just restarted here and I obviously have the same problem. Last time I was here I lost about 60 lbs and then illness took away my drive. Now I am back and ready to go.. still have health problems but I plan on making this work! Tired of being a fat lump that looks horrible in…

There is one possibility no one has mentioned. You may be eating too little. Your body will hold onto fat stores if it is not being properly fed.

Congratulations on a job well done! Keep it up!

Carnation Fat Free Hazlenut Creamer. 1/4 cup in a 20 ounce cup of coffee. It is worth the calories to me.

Sounds so good thank you!

I will be there in Sacramento too!

Jenna I am so happy you found the EM2LM folks, it really works and works so well! Congratulations on your weight loss!

Very nice tips!! Thanks will try it next time!

I think if she had worded everything differently she would have gotten better responses. I saw allot of humor (or attempts at it) but read nothing rude posted at all! Ask your questions, ignore the stuff that you dont like and pay attention to the helpful stuff. People on here are very helpful. You just have to remember…

Hi! Sent you a request!

This sounds really good! Thank you for sharing!

Sorry I can't load those. You might want to check your fitbit settings. Usually my fitbit gives me far fewer calories than MFP.

My friend and I are doing the color run in August in Sacramento! Can't wait!!

ICU RN, some nights are go go go, some are sit sit sit. On my off days I am a walker. I get around 20-30 miles a week in not counting my walking at work. Hoping to add more soon.

I thought that cats were girls and dogs were boys, When a cat had babies they were born either puppies (boys) or kittens (girls). No clue where that idea came from!

Not sure why but this looks like fun, so I will git it a go. 1. I am an ICU Nurse 2. I volunteer at a Marine Mammal Center caring for sick and stranded Harbor Seals, Elephant Seals, California Sea Lions, Stellar Sea Lions, Guadalupe Fur Seals and Northern Fur Seals. We have one of our success stories in the San Francisco…

I love my Mizumo Wave Alchemy's I have last years model and this years model as well. I love this years but they seem to stretch quite a bit more than I expected. Otherwise they feel amazing! I would go to a different shoe store, get a gait analysis done and then tell them you only want Mizumos!

There are many reasons you are not losing. You may not be eating enough, or exercising enough, you may be gaining muscle, and losing fat! How are your clothes fitting? Did you take your measurements? Are they changing? There are many many posts on here that may help you! May I suggest the posts on eating more to lose? If…

Congratulations! You look awesome!

I can not agree with this more! So darn true!

The successes you are making are showing up on the tape measure! You need to ignore the scale! Take a deep breath and just keep going!

I am so very sorry about what happened to you. Things like this should never happen to anyone. I know talking about this will help some but if you start being afraid to do things you may need counseling. It was sexual abuse!! Your advice is so wonderful for all of us on this forum and I appreciate that you shared it. It is…

I think it is a big possibility that it is water weight. Give it a chance. Don't fret it. Can you ignore the scale for a week or 5? Just work, eat properly, and have faith? Measure yourself and forget the scale!
