Hi, on my profile you can read "if hunger is not the problem, then eating is not the answer" . Keep telling yourself this everytime you want to eat. Are you really hungry ? Otherwise find something else to do. Clean out your closet, go for a walk, call a friend, etc.

Hi you can add me :-) I just turned 54

Hi to all, I am Hupsii and I just got the UP bracelet too. I also learned that my sleep pattern is quite poor and that I wake up up to four times a night. No wonder I am tired :( also, it is hard to get my 10 k steps in as I am sitting behind a computer all day. How does it actually work ? Do you still log the activities…

more water and also cranberry juice helps a lot. You can also get tea from cherry stalks - this is really helpful

Yes, exactly, she is slim not skinny - she does not need a padded bra but she thinks her legs are too long ...she thinks she is too tall ....

no problem, you are free to express yourself :)

gosh, this is really scary ... and the problem is that our kids are connected 24/7 with their friends by their smart phones. The influence of adults/parents/teachers etc. is minimal. They live in their own world surrounded by all these TV shows that promote unrealistic looks and lifes.

Yes, that's exactly it - she misses a lot of self confidence... hopefully, this gets better as she ages

she is for sure struggling with her body image but I don't think that she has any other issues with bulimia or something else like that

yes, definitely not from me or her father nor even from her sister

Yes, I think it's very difficult to love your body at that young age.

Great ! Thanks

I would say 9 out of 10 people compliment her on her looks but sadly she is not happy with her body.

great idea ! Thanks

Thank you ! Yes, I am concerned about her.

Well, it's just such a struggle to lose weight and she is now so beautiful and healthy and she is eating according to her hunger cues. To overeat on purpose seems wrong to me. I am perhaps a bit touchy on the subject knowing the problems I had all my life with overeating.

Thank you so much for all your posts. You gave me something to think about.

actually she is like her father - naturally slim and personally, I think she has a great body and just don't understand how she can not be happy with it, especially when I think about all the struggles I had with being overweight

Yes, but she might end up being overweight with her approach

Yes, I have already told her that she will end up with a big stomach only. But the weigth lifting is a good idea

the resistance training is a good idea ! Thanks

I would like to join too :)

Hey, I really dislike cooking as well ! But as I have a family, I have no choice. Take aways and restaurants are way more expensive here in Europe so I cook every evening. You can google receipes that won't take more than 20 minutes. I am not good in the planning department so I don't cook in advance but I have my freezer…

baby weight takes 9 month to put on and 9 months to take off ... if you breastfeed you might even gain weight during that process as well. Give your body time to adjust !

That made me laugh - take it as a compliment - young enough to have kids :) I feel with you my stomach is also very prominent To OP and all others - I am 53 for another 3 weeks - feel free to add me

Me 1 LNS : 4

I agree it's a slippery road ... I remember when I was doing WW for the first time, I thought about food and eating all the time. This is not healthy.

Thanks for the idea. I will certainly see if I can find them in my place of the word.

great challenge - made some choc chip cookies for my family but guess who is eating them ? me = 0 LNS = 5 Tonight is the night !!!
