The struggle is REAL! Many times I let my emotions take over my eating. Due to emotional eating and serious binging my weight has fluctuated up and down tremendously over the years. I restarted my weight loss journey mid September and found that tracking everything accurately/honestly has helped this time. I honestly have…

Thanks Rabbi, you're right. You still have to have the discipline to be successful regardless of your method of choice.

LOL, thanks Ann! Gosh that cheeseburger and onion rings sounds great right now! I appreciate your advice. Wow, you have had great success with your decisions! Congratulations!

Thank you Serender! It really sounds like you've had a tough time with losing despite having the surgery. Wow, that would be so disappointing! I am definitely going to take the time I need to think about my decision and work hard at what I'm doing about my weight right now. It does seem to be working; obviously not as…

That's quite a variety of experiences Erin! I am definitely taking the time to think this through and talk to as many people as I can. I don't have to decided until October.

@lilbear, that is a misconception about it being the "easy way". 1) It's major surgery; nothing easy about that! 2) Yes, one absolutely still has to work their *kitten* off if they want to be successful. Not to mention how little you can eat for months after. If you're used to eating 1800-2500 calories a day, you're going…

I'm looking for friends also! I'll send you a request.

I have 142 lbs to lose. I did Weight Watchers for a while last summer and did lose 32 lbs. I got off it during vacation and found it very difficult to get back on and gained everything back plus 10 lbs :'( I've discovered that eating carbs (just about any type) causes uncontrollable food cravings for me but especially…
