WOW I have had a similar journey from size 18 to 10/12. I am now able to do so much more and have enjoyed the journey. Just learned how to SCUBA this summer and am really loving it. I am very glad for you, sounds like you are working real hard to keep loosing. I have hit a plateau and even doing 2hrs a day hasn't broken…

I can almost 100% correlate my stinky moods to having had something with high sugar or flour content the day before. I think it is a reaction to craving more. When I stay away from such foods my stinking thinking goes away, I don't judge others or myself. Wishing you a better day.

Great job keep up the good work. May I ask what you are doing different that really made the difference?

You can walk anywhere, I also bring my resistance bands which travel well. If I am staying at a hotel, I search for one with a pool - the best exercise even if you are just moving for an hour.

keep up the great job, I heard that varying it helps you to keep loosing.

keep up the good work, it seems to be working.

I am doing water aerobics 4-5 times a week for 90 minutes, and doing 30 mins of bicycling and 30 mins of tread mill 2 days a week. And I am staying at the 1200 calories most every day and still only loosing 2 pounds a week. Hate to think what would be happening if I didn't work out.

Nice job, you can definitely see the difference. Keep up the great work.

If you go into the setup, you can have your daily tracker show the sodium levels in food. I am very affected by the sodium and try to stay under 500grams per day. The program allows 2200g and I never loose if I have that much.

I have a 1200 cal a day goal, but I do not eat more even if I exercise because I wouldn't loose anything either. Obviously there is a couple days a month I allow myself to eat those extra calories. I am working out six days a week, four of them for 90mins of water aerobics and the other 2 days 60 minsof walking and…

Hi, I looked at a couple days of your food and you are keeping your calories in check but I have found you really need to eat an ounce or two of a lean protein with all your meals otherwise you might be triggering too much insulin and that shuts down your metabolism. Also I agree with the other reply that mentions drinking…

Great advice about eating more to loose. I have gone to 1200 cal/day and I am loosing 2-3 pounds a week. I am working out six days a week though. The reminder about the water is just what I learned as well, the program I am on recommends 100ozs a day to help flush out the toxins and fat you are burning. I was wondering how…

Hi, I am new to the message boards, but have been logging my food and exercise for a month. Love this website and tell all my friends about it. I am about 25% there to my goal weight. Have learned a lot more about how many carbs and sodium are in different foods using this program. Goals for May: Exercise Goal: keep…

oh be kind to yourself, and keep working.:flowerforyou:

Hi Kaythy, I find setting gentle limits with others who want to use food to show their love is the best bet. Ask for a single slice (or 2) and then eat only what you think is what you should have 3-4 oz of meat. Another thought is to just leave it and ask to take the rest home for another meal. Good luck, A mom and…

I have learned from Provida, that using tension bands or band fixed in the middle to a stationary point behind you at your shoulder height. Pull bands around you and in at chest height. You can use a chair with the band around the back of the chair. Don't come all the way together in front of you stop about a foot apart. I…

Yes it is very noticable. Love your braveness for posting pictures, not sure I am ready to show any pictures.
