I'm 36 and I can relate. My ankle hurts due to injury and back hurts also. Since I started exercising more, I have to pace myself. I've been putting in a lot of effort and tolerating discomfort to stay mobile.

Sounds like you have some ambitious goals. Welcome, and feel free to add me.

Very helpful.

Thanks, it is so hard especially with set backs. You had a pregnancy and I had two ankle injuries. I guess life happens and you're right one step at a time!

Thanks girl! 👌

Winter definitely sucks!

Lol, it change my naughty word to "kitten"! That's cute!

That's very inspirational! My 14 year old daughter is getting more self conscious about her weight and appearance. She says to me," Mom, no offense, but I don't want to look like you when I'm your age." That hit me in the heart. Like, I wish she didn't see me like that. All I can do is take that as motivation, work hard…

So sorry to hear that! I'm no expert but if everything is the same maybe have your thyroid checked?

Thanks 👍😊

Lol, the struggle is real!

I believe I can do it again. I've been consistent for 10 days now. Getting back on track feels great! It's hard to appreciate my appearance right now. I try but I'm seriously uncomfortable in my own body. The weight makes my back hurt, slows me down and doesn't let me complete at the level I need to, and I just feel…

I have also had some injuries set me back. Once I had to be immobile for so long and work to get my mobility back, I appreciate it a whole lot more! I hope I can make a good comeback too!

I can't wait to start getting my confidence back. It helps to talk to others that go through the same thing.

You're right! I lost the most weight last summer that I ever have in my life. I know how and had a lot of practice. I can do it again and learn how to keep it off during the winter. Thanks.

I like that quote. It's true, I'll get where I want to be just stay consistent. Thanks

I'm looking forward to loosing the weight again. I feel so much more confident and healthy.

Thank you all for your coments! Theres so much great advice here for me to use. I really feel lots of support and verry much appriciate all of it. I'm going to take things slow. My fist goal will be to log every day. The second to stay under my calorie limit. And the third to try and incorperate some meat fruits and…

Thank you all for the advise. I think that looking at some other journals is a good idea. I'm defiantly going to do that. Again tonight my cravings are so bad. I don't understand how I'm good all day and then have these crazy cravings in the evening. I'm like grinding my teeth trying not to give into my rumbling tummy.…

Thank you for all the great advice. I realize now that I needed to open my diary. It is now open. Just to clarity, my calorie intake was 2840 for yesterday. I think someone was unclear on that. I was walking every morning for a month. Ive been able to maintain my weight pretty good this summer because im verry active and…

Good to hear that you got the headaches too. I can leave the sugar behind. Iv'e done it b4. I'm really hoping to do it less painfully this time around! I just kept thinking okay this is not going to kill me. It was like three days of headaches and sweating and feeling sick! I really wish that I would have stayed off it.…

I found this to be true as well the last time I tried. Just about 3 days to not crave it at all. Right now I can feel it in my body like a body buzz.

Thanks for the tip! I defiantly plan on eating tons of veggies and love my veggies :)))))

I do find also that cutting sugars down helps you to stop craving them less. The problem for me personally is that any sugar in my diet eventually leads me to craving more and more over time.

I'll check it out. Thanks!

Thanks for the article. Nice info :)

I will be looking into the Macro thing as I have never heard of it b4. I was happy and felt great on wholefoods after the first few days. I just wanna get through the withdraws without all the pain and then I think I'll be okay and on my way.

Thanks I'll certainly look into it!

This is somewhat confusing because you said that sugar does not lead to diabetes but then said that it does (indirectly).

I think sugar and refined sugars are making up at least half of my daily calories:( All I drink in sweetened drinks. Mostly coffee with tones of sugar. That's all day every day. I don't drink any water. Just for example today I ate a Hershey pie for breakfast along with a brat and a giant cup of coffee with about a 1/4 cup…
