Bump

Stayed same this week 191.4. I know it's because I didn't log Sat or Sun. argh. I am usually so consistent with logging and just blew it. Next week will be better.

Fabulous! WOW

Best. Movie. Ever. Anything with Nicholas Cage is just awesome.

Love this movie now and watch it still over and over - I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!!!! HALF BAKED - F-you, F-you, F-You, You're Cool - I'm out!

I had to read from start to finish because you kept my interest peaked and I don't know you, but love you! I have just broken from a plateau and am just awe-inspired by your story. You are an amazing human being and I thank you for your post that has made a serious impact in my future (later I will post my success story…

You eat your normal amount 5 days a week and depending if you are male or female you eat a limited amount of calories 600 for men and 500 for women. You can basically get the idea from the info online or watch the documentary. I have found the fast days difficult ( I have only done two including today). I do feel better…

I just started this week too and my first day was Tuesday and today is my second. When I weighed in Wed I lost a pound. Of course, this could be water weight but, I think this is going to help me with my plateau.

I find that this also works well wearing on left valve if you have pants on and a sleeveless shirt or long dress.

Thank you for your response. Thank everyone, actually-you all have given great advice that I can use. I made it through fast day yesterday. It was tough and I had a headache for most of day. I got over it, though and came up with a loss today ( Wed is my weigh in day). I am going to continue on with the Fasting as it made…

Keep at it! I was plateauing and even gained but, I have just finally started to lose again.... SW: 195 LW: 192.4 CW: 191.4 Yay 1 lb! I know it's not a lot to cheer about but, you know what when you lose nothing or gain for the longest time this is fabulous! :)

I am just like you. I start an then I just want everything. I would hate for anyone to have what I eat on video when I get like this. I agree with you on logging everything. Sometimes I miss things just because I forgot what I was because I go crazy. I am probably going to regret admitting this right now but, I am…

Of course, that was overeating, not overheating-lol! :)

I believe there is a group on mfp for overheating and bingeing. I should check it out myself because I do suffer. I am an addict to food and have been known to binge. As we speak I am talking myself out of eating something on the counter and it's one of my trigger foods that I didn't bring into house. Trying to convince…

Got a half a bag on counter and am starving but, I am not touching. Nacho cheese my fave but, also love Cool ranch....uggh

Out of the many books offered online or on Amazon are there any that are better than the other or is the concept just this simple? 2 days at 500 (non consecutive days) for women. 5 Eat at TDEE -20% (if trying to lose)?

Great job. I have been exactly where you are when I was your age only I had a child and it was baby weight gain. I lost 72 lbs and gained 50 of it back. Struggling now (I am almost 40). Hold on to this and yes, keep those healthy habits. It's hard to do this over and over and gets harder each time. It does feel wonderful,…

Yes, this ticker is annoying me too. I have lost more than one. I did check the group out. I do want to read book. It's only 3 bucks for my kindle if I am looking at the right one on Amazon. Is there one that is better than the other?

I have just contemplated buying this for my kindle yesterday. Have you read it yet? I am curious...

LW: 193.8 CW: 192.4 yay - something - 1.4 down. Need to keep this going now.

Love it! I eat it all the ways everyone has mentioned. My son and I fight over who gets the last of it. So good.

SW: 195 LW: 195 CW: 193.8 GW: 130 It's about time the scale moved in the right direction! yay! Good job everyone!

I just want to say I'm really happy to see so many fellow Massholes in this thread. And I hope you all know I mean that in the best way possible. I am not offended by "Masshole" as I do, at times, resemble the word. ;)

:) I have friends from NC who had no idea on the word Packy also... we have more of them than anything! Peabody/Puberty--haha. I think Lowell is more like Puberty in my mind...lol. no offense to anyone from there!

Yes, if I had to make an attempt to count how many I would have to say no less than 15 times? Seriously...sad. I always come back for more and, of course, each time is worse than last. Glutton for punishment. I stood in the three way mirror at Macy's this weekend thinking, why did you do this to yourself, yet again? I hate…

People not from MA that do this: For Worcester: "Wor-chester" or "Worse-ester" when it's pronounced "Woo-ster". Leominster: "Leo-minse-ster" it's "Lemon-ster" All the "sters" are just not right. I suppose if I weren't from MA I would probably butcher them too. My husband says chimney as "Chim-in-ee". The word is not that…

I agree with all of this. I do take vitamins but, I know if I were to eat more "cleanly" it would most certainly help. I am not saying I would completely restrict forever but, maybe I should set a goal for one week of clean or cleaner eating and build from there. I know food affects my mood. The scrappy stuff does make me…

Thank you both for your responses. I know I have had some really rough times in my life recently but, I thought I would bounce back but, just seem to big digging myself in a hole. I know that I feel like crap, nothing fits right and I cannot continue like this. I want to not be stressed about this anymore. I may need to…

SW: 195 LW: 190.8 CW: 195 GW: 130 Really losing total interest in doing this anymore. I am still working out but feel that I will never get out of the duty with eating not so perfect quite a bit. I am not done and am not whining because I got myself here and will get out sometime. I am so very proud of many of you that are…

Welcome back! I have the same goal. Get back away from 190. I am going on vacation to Aruba July 20th and am dreading that shows anything. I will feel better at a lower weight though. I am a very busy working mom as well! Very hard juggling. I need to do this. I just feel emotionally and physically sick. I have had some…
