I just want to comment that your loss is inspiring 12 lbs or no. Also it's really great to see someone ask for advice and opinions on here and listen to and appreciate the responses! No excuses just a group of people trying to solve an issue! I guess that's why you guys are success stories!

I used to deal with that with my old one, so I bought a relativity cheap weight watchers brand one at Target and as long as I'm on a hard floor my weight is accurate (weighed myself right before doc appointment) and consistent. Your scale is screwy but probably not in a predictable way! Replace it.

Ah! That makes sense, thank you! It was hurting my brain.

:huh: On drugs?

Sugar triggers binges for me. The more I eat the more I want. The only thing that works for me is to quit it cold turkey, plan all my meals ahead and I use sugar free candy, like Atkins chocolate peanut butter cups and sugar free gum that tastes sweet to my mouth but don't trigger my brain to dive head first into a bag of…

:love: *homer simpson* mmmmm chips and salsa

As a professional bartender, I gotta ask: how the hell do they mess up a Black Velvet? It's literally two ingredients! For me: A French 75 is my jam.

My Mom is fighting cancer and eats essentially a doctor prescribed modified version of paleo... Her spirilizer opened so many doors for us meal wise! Sweet potatoes and zucchini are the best! Avocado based pesto sauce, Sugar free homemade marinara, so good! It can cut so many calories out of hearty meals! I need to buy one…

Never let me go by Florence and the Machine, this is totally morbid but if I outlive all my friends as a little old lady and I get sick and tired... I'm gonna put on a sparkly evening gown and a waterproof MP3 player (or whatever crazy technology exists then) with this song playing and just swim out into the ocean and…

This is great advice! The sugar free mint gum has been saving me lately!

I agree. I've dated and been very attracted to both but a.) when dating a shaver... Sex would often result in his stubble chaffing my delicate breast skin:( b.) as I past age 26 I began to prefer chest hair more and more and now I am going to marry the hairiest chest of all. Boys have hairless chests, so... Nah. c.) I…

If I say that's not very nice, is that talking back?

vuvuzela is the word you are looking for! And I agree. But my number one irritating noise is the sound of my beloved Boxer, Captain, licking his.... um.... areas. Which he would do 15 hours a day if I didn't interrupt him.

My challenges center around how much more serious things are than in my younger days. Trying save enough to buy a house, caring for/ living with a elderly and often confused future MIL, my Mom is seriously ill and I'm scared I'm gonna lose her, bills mounting, entitled customers at work... The stakes feel higher! So... I…

Just came here to sympathize! I have always had weenie arms and strong legs. I can barely do a modified push up. Stick with it!

The older people get the slower the weight comes off. For me, when I am committed, losing still isn't that hard. But keeping it off is. If you managed to become overweight at your age, I suspect you'll become overweight again. The point everybody is making to you here is you've no concept of what an advantage your youth is…

I agree! I'm sure I'd look great at 135-140 but that would require constant starvation. No thanks. I like cookies too much. You had 5 kids? I am so impressed! Btw I'm Looking for more MFP friends, if anybody wants to be one?

Maybe ignore the age category?

These all break my heart but the childhood stories omg!

It's happen to me several times too. Only I work in a bar:( I think about it while struggling through ab workouts.

Mmmmm ham....

I'm guessing that weight gain is mostly muscle. I relate, low calorie diets make me feel very very hungry all day. If I wanted to lose faster I would stick to 1200 cals but it makes me an intolerable human. For you though, protein might fix that though. Maybe just resolve to eat veggie egg cups or eggs any other way every…

My time is a diet and exercise minefield for me. In the past the only exercise I've done is diving into a bag of donuts but you ladies are hardcore and inspiring just what I needed to read a few days before mine starts... Thank you!

Hi my name is Dasha, I'm 31 and a bartender. I'm engaged to a chef (skinny me saboteur) and we have no kids. I have two fur babies, a Boxer and a Frenchie. I'm 163lbs now, 175 lbs at my heaviest, and aiming for 140 lbs. I've lost all the weight on MFP before but then completely fell of the wagon. We have spent the last 3…
