Yes - Herbalife was also my downfall - powder in the milk for 2 meals which was way too much protein and this gave me kidney stones...

I bought some skinny jeans and like them ! Ok, it was the only one that fit in the store (stretchy material) but still happy :-)

You are so inspiring and give excellent advice. Thank you !!!

Moderation is key - too much fat can give you colon cancer

wow - that means I could eat well over 3000 kcals - I would gain most certainly a lot

My husband is like this - he eats whatever he wants - loads of chocolate - and never gains weight - but when he is full, he leaves the last morsel on his plate and no one can make him eat it ! I guess, his brain just tells him STOP !!! Wish mine would do the same ... :-)

unfortunately, my weight loss is very very slow ... and I guess my week-end indulgencies are responsible

usually just bang on during week-days but then I undo my small deficit on the week-ends ...

Yes - I have to perhaps save some kcals on Fridays and eat them on Saturday instead ... could also do my housework dancing... so I get a few more extra kcals ... anyway thanks to all who replied with great suggestions !

Thanks guys - yes, I will look at the entire week rather than Saturday only. Usually, during the week I am just about right and on Sunday, I have some time to exercise and so it's ok too. Planning is not my strong suit ... I usually decide 1 hour before what I am going to have for dinner

Thank you !:flowerforyou:

Excellent ! Look forward to the metric version !!! Thank you so much :-) The difference between sedentary and lightly active is amazing in terms of calories. What would you define sedentary ? I have a desk job, sitting more than 8 hrs a day plus must commute by car as I have to take the highway but I try to walk at my…

You rock my friend ! Way to go - you are so inspiring !!!!

Yes, I understand very well - for me this is happening when I am tired. My brain tells me TO EAT to get energy but in fact I should take a rest.

For me no soda but I LOVE anything sweet. I have found out that if I have bread for breakfast, the cravings get worse. Also what helps is eating good fats, also supplements - what works best for me is evening primrose oil

Hello to both of you, Yes, quite true - unfortunately this group is not so active - but hey we can change that :) I am working in Lausanne

Yes, yes, I am in the same boat ! I am 52 and exercise every day but the kilos are stuck on me .... please add me :)

I agree with you folks ! It has taken many months to bend my head around the fact that I should use a food scale. My husband only shakes his head every time he sees me ... nevertheless, I always thought a Banana was roughly 120 grams but the ones I eat are more like 240 gramms !

Hi all fellow menopausal women, I am right with you with the hot flashes and weight gain. My face is always red, so embarassing at work. What has helped me a bit is evening primrose oil (capsules). To lose weight, I should give up the chocolate but it's so hard - I could give up sugar in my tea and coffee at 16 and I gave…

Hi, you can add me too. I have about 30 lbs too lose but would be happy with 20 ....

You are awesome ! So inspiring - thanks for being my friend :))

Hi, I hope this does not upset you but I know a few people who lost a lot of weight on the dunkan diet and gained it all back and more. You are doing fine, just give your body more time to adjust.

Yes indeed, that is the most spectacular, amazing, fabulous, heart warming success story I have read on MFP. I take my hat off to !:flowerforyou:

Hi there, I am 52 and live in Switzerland. So, there is only 1 hour of time difference. Feel free to add me as I want to really get rid of the excessive weight this year !

Hey, feel free to add me !

Sounds great and I can use all the support :) Thanks for adding me. hupsii

Welcome back ! This time I am sure you can make it !!!

personally, I never managed to stay at 500 so I went up to 800 and exercised

I agree with your post. I would be the person who gained 29 pounds without being able to lose it quickly. I have always been that way - compared to my friends, I always had to eat less to keep my weight. We are like economical cars, we don't need much gas:laugh:

You rock Ivey ! and you look spectacular with your short hair !!!:flowerforyou:
