Emotional eating.

This may sound strange but I have stopped weighing myself. I found that if I lost weight I would initally be happy and then I would panic and binge. If I gained, I would be depressed and binge. It's a no win situation for me so now I don't weigh. I believe I am losing weight because my clothes are not as tight but I'm not…

I was doing reallly well on WW until I stalled for 3 months. My group leader told me to just keep following the program. I got tired of paying each week with no results. Hello MFP.

WOW!!! I'm so impressed and inspired. Thank you.

I thought you were going to say you ate a whole gallon of ice cream. Go ahead and beat yourself up a little and then forgive yourself and move on. It wasn't that terrible. We ALL have our weaknesses. The important thing is to get back on track. This is just one of those bumps in the road --- there may be others but you can…

Eat your Mother-ln-Law's great food but in smaller portions. Don't wait to start after some special event - there will be another, and another, and another............................

Such a moving story - such an inspiration - Thank you for sharing. Congratulations on your achievements (including the 3 beautiful children).

If you never get off the plateau and just stay where you are - you are in a great place. I hope you reach your goal without obsessing about it or letting the lack of progress throw you off track (been there, done that).

If you are on WW, at least 1/2 your "water" should be water. Caffinated drinks don't count at all. Stick to the "crystal tea" (water). Hot water w/lemmon isn't bad during the winter.

CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP! GOOD FOR YOU!

If you don't do things you want to do because of what others may think or say, you will grow old with regrets and miss out on what might have been. Take a class, ask a friend for help, just do something.

My guilty pleasure is Dexter. I also love The Good Wife and my best stress relief is the Big Bang Theory.

Your accomplishment is awesome - the hardest part is keeping it off - drop the candy, you deserve to look this good forever.

That is awesome! Congratulations and wishing you continued success. I love hearing these stories; they are such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

Please post again in a year with "I KEPT IT OFF". Congratulations!

Been there, done that. After a few days of self talk, I get back on track. Try talking to yourself out loud (the car is a good place for this). Sometimes hearing it works better than keeping it in your head. Exercise is also very helpful - take a walk - preferably listening to some favorite music.

Best crock pot recipe I've ever found SLOW COOKER CHICKEN POSOLE (Weight Watcher's Recipe) 1 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced 4 oz frozen mixed vegetables, onion, pepper and celery mixture (about 1 cup) 14 1/2 oz canned hominy, drained 4 oz canned jalapeno peppers, mild-variety, diced, drained (adjust this if you…

I saw this on the news yesterday. She's my hero.

I've got it down to 1 cup in the morning. I used to have 3-4. I don't know that I want to give up the last cup. Unfortunately, I'm not as fond of tea.

I don't know if it works or not but a friend of mine who lost over 100 lbs swears by it and takes it in capsule form. I don't think there's any magic bullet. Green coffee is the latest fad. It usually comes down to calories in versus calories burned.

Excellent post with great advice! I am at 16 lbs down and I'm close to changing sizes. It will always vary with the cut and the person. I put on weight all over but my sister is bottom heavy. We started this journey wearing the same size pants but she changed sizes after only 12 lbs.

For the less expensive alternatives, try Playtex. They have more sizes and fairly good support - try a molded cup style. You can buy them online for less at onehanesplace.com for signtificant savings.

I agree - when it comes to getting the right bra, Nordstrom rocks! Most people don't realize that the right bra can instantly make you look slimmer. I invest in really good bras - buying new ones each year during the anniversary sale (July) - Le Mystere's are my favorites. I'm told they are Opraha's favorites too.…
