Not a stupid question at all. If we had all the answers, we'd all be skinny! In my experience, if I deprive myself of something I enjoy, it's just a matter of time and I'm going to have it.

I'm in! I would love to lose 5 lbs by the end of April. I signed up for the 10 lb challenge earlier this week but I know that is not realistic for me; losing 5 lbs is possible.

Congratulations on the 20 lbs! I have completed my first week with myfitnesspal and have lost 1 lb so I am using your 20 lb weight loss as my motivation. Maybe you can find someone who has lost 30 or 40 lbs to motivate you. Having a friend or family member who is also dieting as a diet buddy is helpful to discuss meal…

It's normal to have ups and downs when dieting. I did the same thing in June. It took me about a week to gain my diet momentum back.
