Perhaps you’re not eating enough so your body has reduced your BMR.

I am at the beginning of working on losing about 35. Feel free to add me!

I found in the past when I lost weight the support helped a lot. Please feel free to add me!

I hear ya! Im newly back again. Feel free to add me!

I have no intentions of stopping anytime soon, I know it works. Feel free to add me!

Thank you so much!

You can add me. I lost 25 lbs eating 1200 calories a day. I haven't been logging enough lately, but you can certainly have a look through my older stuff.

Just to throw this out there....Do you eat back your exercise calories? Some people grossly overestimate how many calories they burn when they work out.

A salty meal and not drinking enough water will do that! Don't get frustrated you're doing awesome!

Years ago I was a pretty unhappy person and one day I was complaining to someone about my life situation. Do you know what he said to me? "Stop complaining, everything you do is a choice. Living the way you're living, is a choice. If you're not happy about it, do something about it." It was the best piece of advice anyone…

Thanks for all the posts, this definitely gave me something to think about today. If I were hungry and didn't have energy I would definitely start eating more, but I have way more energy than I did before I started losing the weight. I have 17 lbs left to lose, so I think I'm going to continue what I am doing currently and…

Yeah I like the accuracy of weighing something. I use measuring cups too, but anything I can weigh, I weigh.

I just got the gap back a couple weeks ago! It is fabulous. I would aim to get the gap back!

I completely agree with the post I quoted. If meds work for you and help you function, then I would absolutely go back on them. There's no shame in taking anti-depressants, especially if you have found one that works well for you. Depression can be debilitating so why deny yourself the extra help that medication can…

I've lost 18 lbs and I'm down about a size.

I'm not entirely sure what it is but I completely agree with this. I have way more energy since I started taking a multivitamin and as a result I am way more on the go than I used to be.

I completely get the bingeing problem, I always ate relatively healthy except for when I ate treats and it was like I just couldn't stop eating them when I started. Now I portion little bits out for myself. What I have been doing is after super if I have 100 calories or so left over I have a treat, but I do the math and…

I think everyone has their own idea of what their body should look like. When I started university I was 5'6" and 117 lbs. I was very healthy and by no means under weight, I was just really active. I gained 48 lbs in 6 years, and for me 165 lbs felt extremely overweight for myself. Everyone is different. I have seen people…

I'm in! I would like to lose 9ish.

Oh I like the idea of a weekly challenge of some sort. We all seem to have similar goals. Is there anything in particular that someone is struggling with? My biggest problem is that I haven't been exercising very much. I'm afraid my creativity with titles is also lacking.

I'm one of those people. Feel free to add me!

Anyone who asks people if they should stay with someone probably already knows the answer. If you have to ask, then probably not. I think the song Popular by Nada Surf tells it pretty well: "Three important rules for breaking up Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to Prolonging the situation only makes it…

I loved NuvaRing for most of the 5 years I was on it. I never had any scares. I just started noticed that it was like the week I didn't have it, my body felt like I was in withdrawal. I couldn't wait to put the ring back in, because it relieved my horrible headaches that I was getting and having for sometimes almost the…

I just came off of NuvaRing (two months ago) after about 5 years on it. BEST DECISION EVER. I was having mood swings and headaches. I gained 48lbs while I was on NuvaRing, while I'm not blaming NuvaRing for this, I now believe it wasn't helping the situation.

Haha I am actually find some answers hilarious. I don't think I lack self control. I was mostly just in a bad mood, normally this experience would have never even phased me. I may also have been slightly mad at myself for even thinking that their cones would be 230 calories. I have worked at a lot of different fast food…

Probably different countries. Mine is Canadian.

Haha I could have not eaten the whole cone, I know....but then I wouldn't have had the whole cone experience.

Yeah, I agree about the not seeing it as a diet. The odd thing is my diet wasn't really "bad" to start with, I just ate way too much of what I was eating. For me it's all about portion control...so when I quit I just go back to my overeating...not necessarily eating unhealthy food. Luckily my attitude has changed a lot. I…

You can add me! I'm originally from NS, living in NL.
