Hi guys. It sure seems there a lot if us that keep gaining back. Wonder if it would help to write what what each think causes it and what we might can do to help each other tackle those things.

This appears to be an old thread...doesn anyone know what happened to him?

lewcompton Thanks for your honesty and input. I think you have a valid point. I do enjoy wine frequently but agree that it really has no redeeming value for me past the initial enjoyment. Thanks again.

JC Penny online.....my hubby only gets his there...he is same as you. !

LOVE THIS!

May I ask for an explanation of "lift and lift heavy"? For those of us who have never lifted but would like to?

Geesh..if I saw that great of a change I would throw my scale away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the support everyone.

I feel your pain. Could you wear a shaper on days like that? They aren't particularly comfortable, but sometimes it makes your clothes look a lot better. Hang in there!! Don't give up.....you can do this!

One square of dark chocolate does the trick for me!

These are the kind of pictures that make me go..."no way is that the same person!".... Congrats on your fab success!!!

Way to go! You can do this....always remember your past success.....best of luck!

:laugh: :bigsmile:

Excellent..! And easy to do...thanks for sharing.....sometimes the simple things pass me right by.... :)

If you track everything you will learn what does "hurt" or not "hurt" and be able to make safer choices when you are out. Some weekends are good, some are more indulgent, it really is the bigger picture that matters though. What does Monday look like? If the weekend starts beginning earlier on Thursday or Friday or starts…

Yes, I agree that planning is the key. If I get home from work on Friday with no plans for meals and nothing decent to eat, we will eat out every meal. We like to have a nice dinner together with wine on Friday and Saturday nights, so when he wants pancakes for breakfast on Saturday, I eat a small one and have some egg…

Everything except lettuce.....I don't count lettuce...I mean how much is a "cup" of lettuce.... All other things definately!

Yay you!!!

A little bite of everything that I truly enjoy....and regular portions of those things that are the most healthy. A long walk on those days should help too! Getting into a great holiday outfit makes all the food a little less meaningful to me.

What a fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing it! It really speaks to me.....Sounds so easy when you see it like that.

Good going! Give up the crisps, man....seriously....... :0) Thanks for helping motivate others....

Don't let one day do you in.....it's just a day....out of thousands....a blip on the radar....you are better than that!!! Find yummy foods you enjoy every day that fit in your calorie range. Or you can even up your calories a little bit ..... slower loss....but more sustainable..... Today is all you have...make it count...…

Fantastic...you look so young! Thanks for sharing....!

I'm 5'9 and 172...I'm a size 10 on top and 14 on the bottom...guess why I want to lose weight???? I just want my top and bottom to match...probably 145 -150 will do it... :) Thanks for the thread!

I refuse to believe that those of us "more mature" women aren't taking pics?? I'd love to see some too. I just started, but will be more than happy to post pics WHEN I reach my goal.

My 2cents...I think it's the type of food you are eating. Clean up your foods and I bet you see a big difference. Also, as others have said, it looks to me like you may not be calculating your homemade foods exactly.....just a thought. Hang in there....you can do this...but you have to be willing to make the effort to eat…

I find the statement about mushrooms a little odd. I have always eaten mushrooms raw on salads, etc. Am I missing something?

I don't feel I can succeed at this unless I get to the point where I like myself as I am on any given day (yes, there are days we don't, but overall..) I don't want to like myself only when I am skinny or when I weigh a certain number. So I remind myself of my good qualities that are not related to my size and tell myself…

I'm not saying one way or the other. I just happened to have been reading up on this lately. I prefer to eat whites as I don't care for the yolk, but everyone must decide for themselves. Thought this article was interesting though. Published in the August 13 issue of the journal Atherosclerosis, researchers examined data…

I have the same problem....we love to either go out on weekends or stay in and cook/drink wine. I have decided that I will die from the stress of "what am i going to eat" sooner than being overweight. So...if I know I am going to want to have more calories at dinner for something special I have a very healthy…

Hi...I've only been at this a week...(LOVE fitness pal) but I am doing 1200 per day. Lost 5 lbs (prob. water) but my pants are a little looser. Thinking that I need more calories as I tend to get a little lightheaded in the afternoon. I am going to go another few days at this and then maybe up it to 1500. Health before…
