I find a couple of cheats for alcohol (firstly as everyone else has said You simply must track it liquid calories add up soo fast) wine spritzers with diet gingerail or a dry wine can do some diet sprite same amound of drinking less half the calories. diet cola and rum (65 cal) i like diet dr pepper with spiced rum (sounds…

I am working with a lifestyle team and the fourth week of my working with a dietician and dr i put on two pounds i was as you are devistated i tell you i sat in that office and almost cried. and my dr said "why cry" wieght he explaind fluxuates, and if you eat out after not eaitin out all week your weight is almost…

Thank you for your support. sometimes just know ing that i am not alone is helpful. i suppose you are right about new things in the last three months i have gone on a drastic lifestyle change new roomate, published a book, diet dr, excercising, its just a lot of big changes. more hours at work. i dont know i suppoes this…

Wow i am not brave enough to have before photos!! good for you for being inspirational

That happend to me one week. my doctor said it is natural sometimes you dont lose, it is a fluctuation and perfectly normal. also (as i am sure you know) if you burn too many calories, your body will hoard them. causing weight gain. either way, way to go on your determination and comittment. that is awsome. i personally…

There was an article in the Toronto sun http://www.torontosun.com/2012/07/18/good-behaviours-for-weight-loss lists weight journals as a very positive weight loss tool. i couldnt agree more. i have tracked in the past and had moderate success, but i agree with the above statements that it is in fact the positive re…

I have been steadily gaining for many many years in fact i dont tell how much i want to lose by weight but by age. and i want to be the weight i was when i was 20 which was 175-185 i could go lower but i think that is my goal wieight. that is quite a bit above my "ideal" weight, but it is ideal for me. personally i cant…

i am hoping for 170 but if i could be 150 i think i would be over the moon. but that is a lot of weight for me to lose 150lbs!!!

wow that must have felt great! good for you. hope your health works out.

I know its hard but you must believe your way through it. just hold fast that you have been doing a great job so far. what is past help is past worry. you cant control the heat, so you must worry about the swelling causing a bit of weight gain. you will be back in top form in no time.

I know how hard it is to be motivated. I have hidden from excercise for a long time. It is hard to take the stairs walk to the train station or go for a brisk hike in this rediculous heat. Have you tried taking a class? Sometimes what motivates us is the presence of others. Personally I hold my accomplishments ( and…

For me it's not what but how. I want to walk into a store ( a regular store) and pull something I like Off the rack. I don't want to hunt through the plus size Section for things that say 24 but are really A 20 or ugly baggy pants with a huge bum ( of which I have not) Or shirts that won't button. I want to try on ALL the…

as i have mentioned on other parts of the sight i have been dx bipolar for many many years. (goodness almost 20!) and i have watched my wieght climb higher and higher. i was told that medications caused would cause 20-30 pounds but depressive eating compounded with many many pills meant that i gained over a hundred pounds…

oh my goodnesss, so many of us. and it is nice to have an "us" to belong to. you are all so strong. my story, well i was dx as bipolar when i was 17 they put me on medication that slowed my metabolism. drastically and made me hungry all the time. it was terrible, as i aged i just slowly but surely put on weight. pound by…
