Back for what seems like the millionth time. Still on the gain loss streak. Right now mostly gain of 20 pounds ouch. I know what works. I don’t know why I keep falling in the same rut. Here again to get motivated and back on track

You aren’t the only one. I am having a hard time getting back on track after losing 35 pounds from October through December.

Some people are closet eaters. My aunt was this way I never saw her eat but she was obese. I used to eat in secret sometimes too.

I just turned 57 lost 55 and have about 80 to go. Feel free to add me. I lost motivation during the holidays. Luckily I only gained around a pound and am trying to restart again

Be careful with the elliptical too. I have had plantar fasciitis in right foot and then left foot. I love doing the elliptical daily but was noticing it was aggravating the arch. I read somewhere only do elliptical every other day and instead swim, row, or ride bike

Haven’t been able to exercise much because of tennis elbow, no weights and foot problems not much elliptical still walking, getting at least 10,000 steps a day in.

Up about 3 pounds between, my birthday, Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Years which isn’t bad considering I usually gain around 10 pounds. Starting back on track today

It happened to me too. Last. January I started at 273 and got down to 220. In September This yearI started over again at 253. I am down to 217 now

A cinder block, pretty impressive. Those things are heavy.

Don’t forget to ask for an upper gi endoscopy. sometimes esophagus problems are misdiagnosed as heart problems and vice versa.

I started last January at 273 lost about 48 pounds and gained it Back until I reached 253. I restarted end of September this year and lost 33 pounds. I now weigh 220

. You look so much younger and quite handsome for your age.

I actually have a neck and can see bones. It is so strange to me. The other one is how much more efficient my heart has become. When I started doing the elliptical my heart rate was in the 160s. Now I can’t get it that high even working at an interval on 10 intensity.

Use French vanilla fat free creamer with skim milk

Flavored mini rice cakes like barbecue, ranch, or sour cream, applesauce, fiber one bars, yougurt, kettle corn 100 calorie bags, cheese, dark chocolate, toast with peanut butter, pretty much anything if it fits in your calories. I listed some of the things I like to snack on.

Probably the reduction in caffeine I am guessing is causing your headaches. When I first started I was pretty much waking up with them daily. It gets better.

Can’t wait until I am there and no longer obese. Congrats

Just wanted to reiterate what others have said. You are not useless or a waste of space. You are not your weight. Posting here and being vulnerable took a lot of courage. I admire you for your bravery. You have already made the first step. You got this and we are here for you. You can do this. Many of us have been there.…

Lately it is 1 cup chocolate almond milk, 1 cup skim milk, coffee, and fat free vanilla creamer, a couple of tablespoons

I had plantar fasciitis in the right foot and then the left caused by the treadmill. I tried everything the shots, different shoes, icing, bracing, pt, pain meds, orthotics you name it. It finally went away after a year for each foot. I watched a video by two physical therapists named bob and brad recently. They show a way…

1 or 2 large eggs daily usually

Yep it is pretty simple. I eat kettle popcorn 100 calorie bags, dark chocolate 2 pieces or 1 depending. Most importantly though weigh everything, get a scale.

It is funny I always seem to lose on vacation because I go on tours and we do tons of walking despite eating like crap for a couple of weeks.

I have Barrett’s esophagus and get ulcers. I have been on sucralfate and protonix for years and am losing weight

Chobani flip Greek yogurt autumn harvest flavor. So good and dark chocolate. Forgot oatmeal, eat it almost every day.

go watch bob and brad on you tube. They are physical therapists. They show you a few techniques like taping for plantar fasciitis that is supposed to work. I had plantar fasciitis in the right foot and the left foot and numerous other foot problems like arthritis and a claw toe. I had a heck of time finding good shoes and…

I have savory oatmeal every morning made with an egg, tomatoes, green onions, spices, sausage, some cheese and a tiny bit of sourcream and salsa on top. so good and filling.

Lost down to around 218 last year from 275 pounds but got side lined with an ankle injury and a knee injury and a vacation. Started again after a gain back up to 253 pounds. Currently down to 237 pounds. I have arthritis in multiple joints and need a couple of surgeries but still exercise.
