Hi Creg! Good for you! I've found that being honest in our logs is a big help. I used to keep my diary private. I've since changed it to friends because then I'm held accountable and the truth is in the pudding anyway! Welcome to the group! I know that you'll find support here.

Hi Trucker! Good to meet you. Yeah, I would qualify as an OCD binge eater. When I eat, I well feel guilty for all the calories taken in. Then the guilt will make me either starve myself for a few days or binge more. I came in weighing 342 pounds. I've lost 164 pounds. It's taken 8 years to lose that. I'm hoping to reach my…

I'm in! Where do we log our weight?

Awesome! Going to add you now

I like air-popped popcorn with Tapatio hot sauce drizzled on it. Don't need salt or anything else on it with that. Makes it a bit tangy and oh so yummy!

I'd never heard of that. That's a good idea. Thanks.

I am in love with the fact that it's shrinking! I can feel how much smaller I am. Feeling my ribs is kind of awesome. But my favorite feature is my eyes and lips.

52 years old, 5'5" 2011 and 2016. Down 148 pounds! 2016

I'm looking for Fitbit Charge friends who have over 50 pounds or more to lose. I think we could be great inspiration for each other. My user id is https://www.fitbit.com/user/46QPJL

I just bought my Charge HR today! https://www.fitbit.com/user/46QPJL

That's amazing! You go girl. I'm down quite a bit myself. Did you have to have any kind of tummy tuck or anything after such a huge loss?

I know!!! I'm making it tonight!

Is anyone still around? I'm all super motivated again and would like to have some people to bounce stuff off of.

I'm on day 3 of the 5 day pouch test. I cheated on day 2 and had a salad ... just the romaine lettuce and some cilantro with some lemon juice. I was hungry! But today has been a whole different story. I upped my water intake to 10 glasses of water and haven't even felt the desire to put solids in my mouth. I'm very…

Hi, I did. I'm down over 100 pounds now and have about 65 to go. MyFitnessPal's tools and support is unbeatable! Good luck! You can do it and you'll find many people who have that to go. I think there's a group for people who have 100+ pounds to lose. You can search for it under "groups."

Girl ..... you are doing awesome! Be proud of your bikini body!!

Wow!!! That's outstanding!

I've been vegetarian for a few years and I immediately felt health benefits. But my favorite foods were all dairy My diet staples were milk, cheese and yogurt. My weight loss stalled. I didn't lose weight for quite awhile and I was lacking in energy. I cut out all animal products and started eating a plant based diet…

Thanks Ben!

I don't really know. From what some other people are saying, yes, as most other things, in moderation :smile:

LOL!

Mine have definitely shrunk. I think it's natural since breasts are made up of mostly fat tissue, unless you have low body fact or do a lot of workouts focusing on that area specifically ... I would say it's par for the course. I see a lot of people posting that they gained some ... pretty surprising to me. I guess it must…

Thanks everyone. Hearing it from real people is what I am looking for.

I don't know if it's common or not but it's always been stated that you get a "sugar high" and then a crash, caused by the level of sugar in your blood. I do know, from personal experience, that after I had my surgery, sugar just doesn't do well with me. If I eat a piece of cake, a donut or a candy bar, it runs right…

Thanks for those links Moonbaby! Really good stuff there. I've done great on the challenge. This is the 15th day without sugar! I've decided not to worry about my fruit intake though. From what I've read, its processed completely different. And I love fruit so I'm just sticking with the "no sugar added" for now.

I'd never heard of them until today. But I'm going to look for them for sure now. Gotta try them. I'm a fruit lover for sure. Thanks.

I think you're on the right track about the relationship with the guy. You get along well, coworkers tease you about it and make comments about it. He (as would I in the same situation with a coworker) is setting some boundaries so the relationship can't be misconstrued. He's in a long-term relationship. He's SUPPOSED to…

Mine is still the old standby. I love bananas. They're available all year and make a great breakfast or snack.

I didn't know that either. I struggle to get my protein intake.
