I want to look like "Wonder Woman" again my nickname when I was in my 20's....Has anyone read the "Skinny *****" diet book? Sorry, but I hated it....the woman who wrote it are really *****y..I found it totally degrading, not funny and not helpful....I like the idea of an alter ego though...can you tell?...but really make…

Hi, What happen to your original idea for the group? Each day of the week we were going to write about something or do something? Are we still doing that?...I've haven't logged on for a few days...having a hard time, but i'm trying to get motivated again. Jane

Oh yeah....I'm 256lbs want to get down to at least 150lbs. On my second day, not perfect, but I have a lot more control than I've had in a long time, trying to stay away from sugar and other bad carbs and tracking on MFP, using the "Simple Diet" as a guide. You can friend me if you like, I'm just getting started. blue eyes

Hi, Wow it sounds like you're off to a great start! This is about my third time around using MFP. I have become desperate which is actually a good thing for me. I tend to be defiant (really?) and have the "oh well" attitude amongst many other defeating thought patterns. I am 100+ lbs overweight. I am 5' 4.5" and weigh…

Hi thanks for your repsonse....my addiction is more in control than it used to be....this started as a kid, it's learned behavior my mother has a sweet tooth and when my dad died passed when I was 11 she was disconnected from us because of grief and did not restrict what we ate, but we also learned to eat healthy food and…

Thanks...you're right about the sugar....it's the devil for me....I have tried low carb a bunch of times South Beach, when I'm serious I do watch the carbs and sugar in my choices.

Thanks for your repsponse, very encouraging to hear from another mom that's been in the 200's that has lost a good amount of weight and who can relate to how I feel. I've be fooling around for years now....I get serious counting calories watching the food etc, excericing than before I know it, I stop trying and so it has…

You're right, I have to give up the sugar...thanks for your reply jane1320:flowerforyou:

Weigh yourself once a month.....or not at all....your're invovled and Obessive compulsive behavior....go by how you look and feel don't be a slave to a number....that's crazy...what could happen is... if you lose weight than you give yourself permission to maybe eat extra or eat a bad choice if you've gainned you may still…

I agree, I believe the more you talk about your weight problem the more you feel like you've done something about it, when all you've done is talk. Then when you feel like you;ve got a handle on it and your're starting to work a program and feel confident, maybe have even lost a couple of pounds, the minute I share that…

Hi, Someone I've been connecting with on MFP passed you on to me when she realized I have food addiction issues. I was in and out of overeaters annonymous for about 15 years, from 28 years old to 43. I left seven years ago after it just wasn't working for me any more., but it did help. I learned planning my food for the…

Hi, How is your food? Are staying at or below your calorie alottment? What type of food are you eating? Try to stay away from processed foods and too many refined carbohydrates that turn to sugar. Also try not to eat late at night. If all those things don't work, you may want to get your thyroid checked.:flowerforyou:

Only 25lbs since January?! I think that is awesome! I came back to MFP about a month ago. I joined last summer but didn't last long.One of my biggest problems with weight loss programs has been sticking with them. It seems this time will be different I pray that it is. I went almost a week without going on the website, but…

Hi, I could never order girl scout cookies and not be called by them, I might be able to stay away for awhile but inevitably something would happen, I would get tired, or stressed and there would be the cookies. I consider myself a compulsive overeater and food addict, what I learned in many years in overeaters anonymous…

Hi Lisa, My name is Jane. I live in New Jersey, I am 50 years old, I am married and have a son who is 11 years old. I have been a teacher for 16 years. I have struggled with my weight all of my life. The most I ever lost was 30 pounds about 17 years ago and unfortunately I put that back on plus another 80 pounds. I am now…

Hi Maggie, I saw the Today show also.....Tamara's success was truly amazing....I also need to lose 100lbs. I've tried a few other online weight loss websites, but this one seems really user friendly and it's free, wish me luck and good luck to you! Jane1320
