I don't think I am being obsessive about logging, just trying to be accountable. Even though I reached my goal & am maintaining I still feel the need to log so I don't get off track & start to gain. I don't want to yo-yo again. That would be throwing away all my hard work to stay at a decent weight. I wonder if anyone else…

I agree. I don't believe in all that magic pill, magic diet, or magic potion stuff to lose weight. There's no quick fix. It takes a lifestyle change that has a workable meal plan along with exercise. That's the way to go.

Sometimes we eat mindlessly when we get emotional. At least I do. After, I regret it but I can't change what I already did. The horse is already out of the barn. But, I can think about what I should do the next time I get stressed or upset. Having a plan & this is the hard part--following it. Whatever it is it can't be…

you can tie your shoelaces without your belly getting in the way your butt doesn't leave a big indent on the couch cushions where you sat you don't have to shop in the plus size department your hammock in the backyard doesn't sag to the ground when you're in it

In the crockpot now. Tasted it. Next time have to cut down on cayenne. Otherwise simply delish!

Looking good! I can see the difference in your face, chest & torso. Your bottom half is hidden in the picture but I would guess you have lost weight there too. Keep up the good work. You're beautiful!

You must be doing something right because you lost 10 lbs. Glad you aren't giving up. There's no reason you can't eat cake, ice cream, chips, etc. in moderation. Once you get back into the swing of things--eating better & exercising--you'll feel so much better. Self-care is very important. Try to do something nice for…

Sounds yummy! I'll have to try this out.

So sorry for your loss. That's awesome how you're going to honor him. I'm sure he's smiling on you from Heaven.

Congrats on your 16 lb weight loss. We all go through rough patches. I'm glad you're reaching out instead of giving up. Continue on. You're worth it. I'm adding you as a friend.

Me too! Alone or together. It doesn't matter.

...across the street from my high school. An old man lived in a wooden shack there with his goat. Oh yeah, getting back to the thread. If you can't say anything helpful or positive don't bother. Keep your sarcasm to yourself.

I've been eating 1200 calories for 2 days & I haven't lost any weight. Should I go down to 1000? Do I have to eat back my exercise calories? It's all so confusing

I'm so sorry that you're having to go through such a rough time at work. I used to have an office manager that if anyone called in sick she would ask if you were bleeding. If you weren't she would say you weren't really sick & should come in. One night at home I had bent down in front of the open fridge & didn't realize…

At least you were able to pinpoint why you binged. So stop beating yourself up. I also binge when stressed. I can't have those foods in the house because I'll definitely find an excuse to eat them...pretzels, dark chocolate, dates, cookies. It's hard to stop once I've started. Try to have a non-binge plan. When you feel it…

For the most part people on here are really supportive. I just ignore those jerks that get nasty because there's the same question they've answered before. They could just ignore the post & get on with it. I'm glad you switched to MFP. I haven't been to WW (cost $ as opposed to free). Anyone I personally know has gained…

Morton Salt Substitute. I use it in cooking & baking. Just like regular salt.

Tried Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla when the supermarket ran out of Silk vanilla soy. Never looked back. Have it in my coffee every day. Love it!

Last week I expanded my salads with asparagus. I bought some again for this week + green onions. This week I'd like to try to cut back on diet soda. Most days I have 3/4 to a whole 2 liter bottle. Too much! It's got to go. It's good to have goals. Great work ladies. Keep it up.

Awesome!! Congrats on your 7 year anniversary! Breast cancer runs in my mother's family. She was a 35+ year survivor. Thanks for the reminder about the importance of taking care of our bodies. It's the only one we have. So, every year for the last 40+ years I've gotten a mammogram because I now it's so important. Again,…

I'm so sorry for your loss. Grief affects each of us differently. It does come in waves. When our emotions are high we want to comfort ourselves. Sometimes we do it with food. At least I do. It's great you were able to get through your workout. Remember, Kevin is still rooting for you & so am I. Keep up the positive…

Broaden my salad horizons. Put a new veg/fruit in my salad. One I haven't used before. So far I have asparagus.

Losing 19 lbs so far is a great accomplishment. Consider this is a learning experience. Move forward from it. Tomorrow's a new day & you can have a new start.

Thanks for all your replies. Since I don't really care about tracking sleep I'm leaning towards Zip. I think it will suit my purposes.

Anyone?

Glad you found us. You've taken the first step by acknowledging your problem & wanting to do something about it. Whenever I am bingeing or overeating or even thinking of it I have to pause & try to discover the reason. Once I identify that, I can work on eliminating the problem. Don't use food to stuff your feelings…
