Here are some things that have helped me:* Find something low-cal to snack on. I ate 2 cups of strawberries yesterday for about 100 calories. Berries are my go to treat right now. * Plan for your evening snack in the morning. Pick out what you think you will snack on and log it early. That way you have some calories saved…

A pound of body fat is something like 3500 calories. I doubt you misestimated that badly. With all that cheese and sauce and probably meat, I'd bet there was a lot of salt. Drinking lots of water and eating light is never a bad plan :)

I have depression too. I would eat until it hurt. See a doctor! If you can find the right meds it can make a huge differnence. I started a new antidepressant (I'm taking bupropion) a month and a half ago, and I haven't had any desire to binge. I lost 10 lbs in a month without trying. I have tons of energy, sleep great (if…

A lot of doctors are overweight. It's hard to get to a gym when you work 70-80 hours a week. My dad's a doctor and the only reason he has time for cycling is that he only sleeps about 4 hours a night. I know what you mean though. The pot calling the kettle black and all that.

Congrats for not giving up on your diet! It can be so frustrating to see that number go up. But 3 lbs could very easily be from your TOTM. You can get that kind of change over the course of a day regardless. Just stick to it, and you'll start seeing changes.

Wow sizes can really vary person to person! I'm 5'8" and at 260 I'm wearing a size 26 (which I was also wearing comfortably at 280). I think around 245 I start being able to wear a 24.

I haven't seen any of them, and I was not confused at all. And it was awesome.

Thanks for all the great suggestions! I will stock up on these this weekend.

I'm from the northern part of southern il :) I grew up in Sparta and went to school in DuQuoin

I go a little crazy if I have to wait a whole week so I usually weigh in twice a week. Just remember that your weight can fluctuate a lot so weighing in too often doesn't really give you a clear picture.

Southern IL nearish to St. Louis I also lived in Bristol VA/TN for a few years. I really miss the hiking at Steele Creek!

Awesome! I was the same way with the presidential fitness test lol. You've given me hope that I might one day be a runner. :)

Cereal first! It's a lot easier to get milk on all the cereal that way.
