Diets do not work! Moderation does, want to see how to eat what ever you want and still lose weight, (46 pounds) check out my food diary, lol. I eat McDonalds, Subways, Taco Bell and Wendy's because I eat those foods as occasional treats, not over eating them and displacing my usual fruits, veggies and lean proteins. But I…

I am a re-starter success story, you can add me! I started with MFP and got frustrated with the logging so I stopped. Now I have the logging down pat! How to re start? Start putting yourself and your needs first! Feel free to add me anyone.

Do not give in and do not give up! Don't want your calories to go over the limit, plan your meals better. Eat more often so you don't feel hungry. Learn the difference between taste buds or boredom hungry and true hunger. I cannot give a lot of advice, because I don't know where your weakness is. I have lost 45 of the 166…

I still have food binges, but they are less and less! First thing I did was keep trigger foods out of reach! Next I pay more attention to my feelings, stress, uncertainty and boredom makes me susceptible to binges.

For my low carb snack I eat hard boiled eggs, beef jerky or pork skins How about home made guacamole and a few tomato slices? MMM

Yes that would burn me up! I don't have that problem because I am the opposite of you, I live in a household of lazy folk who will be hungry until I come home and cook. They have all lost weight because I changed my eating habits. You more than likely will have to food shop everyday if they cannot keep away from your food…

I am not a doctor ( I just play one on tv, j/k) but with my research on nutrition and weight loss I would say keep up the good work of eating enough food but burning off the fat with exercise. My non professional recommendation is to eat a little more, make sure your eating is varied from better food sources to get all…

I just sent you a message, I am doing so well on this round of MFP! I have got lots of friends to keep up with and who keep up with me this time around... I am down 40 pounds although I have to triple that number again before I am done.

I am using MFP and a Jawbone up, I feel unstoppable now!! MFP really does the trick, but with my activity tracker, my progress is accelerated. I was on MFP before, but quit! This time around I am sticking to my guns. I quit MFP before because I didn't have any friends on here and I was not using all the online tools.

Anyone can add me, I am kicking my own behind and whipping myself in to shape. I started this at 320 and now 276 so I know what a battle it can be... to start. When you are our size you must start with your mind! Re framing your mind and the way you think about yourself. That's the hard part, after that the body will…

Churros! Cinnamon sweet, covered empty calorie carbs of yumminess! I have to stay away from them for the next 4 months!

I also know the feeling!! I have lost 40 pounds and I don't see it with my eyes yet! I have gotten a lot of compliments and my clothes are totally hanging off of me, but I still feel like a failure at shrinking because I cannot see it with my own eyes yet. But I am going to keep pushing, after all I feel great! My cardio…

Great work, thanks for posting :)

Wonderful post, congratulations on the new you! But to answer your question, yes I am used to eating my 1400 to 1700 calories no problem , I always tell my sister it is no wonder I was over 300 pounds I used to eat with my eyes and taste buds only. I was food addicted, just the way the food manufacturers wanted me to be.…

Brooklyn, NY You know Brooklyn is always in the house!

I hope to follow in your footsteps literally!

Congrats on reaching your goals, lovely family photos, and I see your a cruiser like me!!

Your craving could be raring it's ugly head because you are feeling deprived and just want to eat what everyone else is eating. Try to see those processed foods for what they really are, not fit for anyone to eat at any time! I stopped eating those types of foods even when I was a food addict, choose whole foods over…

To curb my emotional eating, I look inside my self and check if I am stomach hungry or tastebud hungry. Then I also log the foods I want to eat in the food diary to see if my treat is going to totally ruin my day.

I got the easy meal plan from the web find it here http://www.gymjunkies.com/weight-loss-diet/ This was so simple! Five small meals a day, lean meats and a water based veggie, a few servings of fruit and nuts. Now, that I had a place to start I broke down (because I am lazy and I used to love to eat fast food) and started…

dang girl! thats amazing, looking great!!

Wow your a inspiration.

Yea toss the scale, its crazy when your clothes don't fit any more and the scale won't budge, I get frustrated sometimes then I remember two things, your new lifestyle is building muscles in your body which weight more than fat and as a woman our water weight goes up and down. I like losing inches just fine, its nice when…

Thank you for sharing, that's a wonderful story. Can I send you a friend request?

That is a great job, and your feeling great extra bonus! The difference is remarkable.
