I feel I have a very similar story. Lost 12 kilos with MFP and after a vacation and quitting smoking, gained it nearly all back... Low maintenance too so sending you a request now! good luck!

i want to lose 15lbs by Christmas and get back to my pre quit weight!

Not feeling as guilty now! I've been so good all week but I just got off work late and had to go past the bakery and couldn't resist these chocolate covered coconut things.. just logged it and nearly cried, half my days calories gone, going to have to run it off

I quit cold turkey 4 weeks ago and gained about 14lbs back but I can't just blame the smokes. At the same time, we had builders refurbishing our house, I changed positions at work, stopped going to the gym and stopped logging on MFP. Honestly, even though I care I gained back the weight, I am giving myself some slack…

Brilliant work and an inspiration! Thanks for a great post and all the lovely photos! Especially loved the ones where you´re working out with your son!

It took 3 years for my periods to come back and at that time, I weighed 235lbs. I never associated it before but thinking about it now, i´m sure that was a big part of the weight issue as I´ve always been pretty active. I came off the depo in 2004 it took until 2007 for my periods to come back and when they did, they were…

well, for 6 months or so, It´s been telling me I should weigh 77 in 5 weeks... pretty frustrating! I think MFP toys with our expectations!

That´s a brilliant mantra! I think I shall be stealing that!

Thanks for the response AmyRhubarb and congrats on your progress! I know you´re right, I just feel like a cheat sometimes when people ask "how much have you lost?" and I say, ermm "nothing" ahhahaha! Yep, I´m taking pics and I´m quite impressed with myself on that note! Still a long way off HOT but it´s progress! haha,…

Completely! I am so boring nowadays. All I think about it calories in and calories out! On the upside, my partner is loving the extra friskiness! hehe, My best friends are MFP, tape measure and weighing scales... Nothing goes in my mouth unless it´s been weighed and measured. Oh and anyone wishing to state this is an…

excellent job! It feels amazing to hit the 30 mark! I´ve just joined you there today!

Haha! I know right! My gym has signs up saying "don´t talk to people if they don´t want to talk" and "use deoderant" don´t think a smoke on the spinning bike would go down well. A step too far from around the back of the bike sheds maybe!

Wow! Amazing loss!

This is me half way to goal. It´s taken 7 months so far...

Haha I´ve lost an average 2 year old and an average human brain! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/lizjjam/view/half-way-progress-pics-520949

Much prefer the crunch. Did a very brief juice fast a few years back. nearly vommed everytime I had to drink it, hate the consistency..

I had a sweet craving yesterday. Had a bowl of organic oatmeal mixed with skim milk, cinammon and artifical sweetner. I know it´s not ideal but filled me up and got rid of the sweet craving.

I have a serious passion for Jak Fruit or (jaca) It smells so bad but I love it!

A good friend keeps in contact whether they´re 10,000 miles away or across the street. A good friend picks up where you left off and there´s no animosity or awkwardness with it. You can spend years apart from each other but even though you and they change, the friendship and understanding stays the same.

Don´t know if I´m anymore "worked up" than normal but my mood is a hell of a lot better than usual in general!

Just a drizzle of honey will do me fine!

I´ve never been in a healthy weight range in terms of my age, always just tipping over into the overweight category, even when I was skinny! Currently just got out of the obese range (still in it according to some sources) and I want to be in normal weight range for my next hospital appointment.

mostly coconut water, coffee and tea. sometimes the odd vodka or gin is a welcome change!

Congratulations! You look fantastic and toned! wtg!! I wonder how alot of those cruel kids look nowadays, that´s always been my comfort.

I do this and it´s sooo wrong!! The worst thing is, my boyfriend has caught the weigh in bug as he´s trying to gain weight and everytime he get´s on, he´s lost up to a kilo!! That really annoys me because he can eat a huge bowl of pasta, weigh in and still lose! I stopped weighing myself at different times now, once, in…

@AngelAmberL Thanks for that. I always wondered what TDEE stood for! Now I know! lol! Yep, the weight went back down today so definately water weight thank God!! WTG on your loss!

@astrampe Hey, sorry, you´re right. Not BMR. Calories to maintain weight is 1669. Don´t know what the name for this is.

@Morebean let´s hope it´s water! @georgiana it is at sedentary, thanks

Good advice there. Congratulations on your 89lb loss!

Thanks Morebean13. Like I said, I don´t feel hungrier so haven´t eaten extra. Just found it strange to gain when I´m more active than usual.
