Good luck to you! This is a great site!

I have the same issues that you do. I think if I add it all up, I have gained & lost nearly 200 lbs in the past 6 years. I love food, and want to eat all the time. I'm nowhere near obese, but right now I am far from my goal -- again! On the weekends I usually don't go to the gym (so don't earn back extra calories) and it's…

I think your breakfast is that first part you eat with your coffee, then when you eat the rest, you are really having your mid-morning snack. If you are eating 5-6 small meals a day, it should be satisfactory to divide that "meal" into breakfast & snack.

I can't even tell you how many times I've done exactly that! I'm hoping with the help of this site that this is the last time I will have to do it!

I have been a walker for many years, adding other types of exercise here & there, but these shoes have really made a difference for me if MY husband…

WOW! So sorry to hear that you have to put up with people like that. You would think that since we're all there for the same reason, there would be more support! It sounds like you may have to adjust to the rudeness of those around you. DON'T give up the gym -- it really can help you reach your goals. I don't think it's a…

Great job! Congratulations!! BTW -- I didn't see how tall you are? Just comparing the pics to wt/ht proportions. I have 30 to lose, too.

45 lbs in 3 months is a lot. I have been able to lose 10 lbs/month for 3 months in a row once before, but eventually it all came back on. The way I did it was to cut every meal in half, regardless of the fat or calorie numbers of the food -- I ate what I liked, just less of it. For example, I would eat half a bagel with…
