here, here. I feel the same

Another suggestion - this helps me when I don't want to draw attention to myself. Like the others said, steak, baked potato, salad, side vegetable are all great choices, I just eat half, state "I'm really full, that was so good" and request a box to take it home and eat it tomorrow. I find that people don't encourage you…

I agree, I just deleted the friends I had, and withdrew from two groups because of the same reason. I don't have any bad feelings over it, just realized I'm doing fine on my own so why get wrapped up in all the drama and hoopla. I RARELY got any feedback. So I will be the support I need.

Bigelow has a cinnamon tea call "Sweetheart Cinnamon" (no caffeine) that I really like.

1 lb. a week is 52 lbs. in a year. I'll take that any day. If some one said right now "poof" you are 52 lbs. lighter, I'd be like YES !!!! It will fluctuate, one week may be more, one week less, one week maybe none that's why I don't look at the number on the scale to decide if I did good or not that week, I know what I…

Please add me as your friend, would enjoy chatting, I can totally relate.

Too Funny, you made my day!!!! And congratulations, I personally don't have one but I can imagine if I did I'd be pretty happy to visually see it ! :)

I don't think it's a food hunger or thirst problem, I think it's a learned behavior and a habit that fills some need that you have. As with most bad habits it's going to take a lot of determination and small steps to overcome but you can do it. It is obviously something you want to overcome because it is bothering you, and…

Wt. loss 0.7 lbs.

Your doing great, and looking great and I bet feeling great. So glad for you, keep up the good job, and enjoy the way this feels.

1/2 lb. loss this week. (Week #3)

welcome, you will like it here, you can do this, just don't give up, you will get there.

Thank you for taking the time to post this, sooooo very true, I think it sums up how we all feel at certain points and let's us know we are normal. If we just don't give up and keep plugging away thru the down times we will keep improving. Loved This Post !!!!!!

You are a true inspiration, not just in the changes in your life and the weight loss but with your sweet spirit. So very happy for you, I'm sure life is looking good, and you deserve it. Take care.

good job!

no loss this week, no gain. lost 4.5 last week, and this is kind of what my body does, but I had a good week so that is what I'm focusing on not the number on the scale.

I'm confused, I joined this l lb. a week group, and posted my loss, but I'm not listed......? And I did lose over the 1#. Guess I don't understand this "Survivor part"! Are we now being separated into teams? I don't like the way this looks or makes people feel like they failed if they didn't hit the 1# mark, it seemed like…

Love your statement, "I had days I didn't do so well but never gave up". Love that, and so very true, we do have days we don't do too great, but compared to what we were doing everyday, it is so good..... and we just need to never give up. You look and sound great, congratulations, getting under 200 is a BIG DEAL !!!!

Thanks for sharing, it always helps to be reminded it's whats ahead of us that is important, not just whats behind us.

Great job, I am a quiet one, I understand exactly what you are saying, I have not posted on here either till this past week. I am glad you shared with all of us, I think you have a lot to share that will be helpful to others, plus others can help you stay on the right track. Have a great week.

good job everyone, new week, remember 1 lb. a week.......don't overwhelm yourself, and if you didn't make 1 lb. this week, don't stress, think of one thing you did that was better, slow and steady, don't give up, we will get there. Have a great week.

Adam, your in the right place to get back on track, and have the needed support, we are all here for each other. Welcome back and let's support one another.

Weight loss w/e 1-15-13 4.5 lbs.

Got it, it does help to see it again, thanks.:bigsmile:

Love the planned rest day, I think sometimes we forget how important that can be. Have a good one !

I pushed myself by "getting out of bed this morning" :) But, I will try to do a little better than that today, after working 48 hours already this week and 8 more today, I too am ready for the w/e, and ready to watch what I eat. Have a great w/e

I'm new here too so welcome. I just started with the group this week. Seems like a good group of people.

Enjoyed reading your post, I am one who also does not usually join in on group discussion because there are so many negative comments and even rude ones that just made me feel bad, so I have kept to myself although I'm glad I saw the 1lb. per week challenge and like the whole flow of the members, and how the discussions…

Congratulation on breaking 200, that always feels so good:glasses:

I'd like to join this group too, usually I am very private about this, but it can't hurt to participate a little with others. Sometimes I find that reading others posts can deter me, so my goal is to stay positive no matter what anyone has to say. Questions???? How do I get back to this area to participate? Thanks.
