I feel you. I have had a similar journey. I am starting over again and that is the great part! We have not given up. Each day I have to take it hour by hour and just do the best I can. I had a situation that would normally make me go on a binge and I did something different. I waited it out. I sat in my car in a parking…

Hello all. I am new to this group. I am 65 years old, married with 4 adult children and 7 grandchildren. None of them live in my city so I have to travel to see them. I am having pain in my shoulder for about 12 months now. This is a pain that came out of the blue. I can not tie it to a specific injury or activity. I am…

Graham crackers, soda, cookies - I overeat these items.

You can eat non traditional foods for breakfast. If you have things you like to eat for lunch or dinner, try them first thing in the morning. The goal is to eat something after you have spent all night fasting (Break fast) LOL.

My husband said, "your back looks better than the woman on TV who is taking the Lipo shots. You have gotten rid of your back fat.: My sister-in law told me she was going to have to start doing Zumba with me because I was looking good.

Good for you! Ignore them and do what you know is best for you. I have people in my life who do the same. I think they are afraid for me to look more attractive and healthy. You can't give in Just stay focused. It usually does no good to argue with them.

I exercise alone. I tried to get with others but it is not as important to them as it is to me. My husband does yard work for his exercise but I have allergies so that does not work for me. I am usually just outside watching him so I don't get my cardio that way. I love to dance so I am doing a Zumba class once a week.…

Try to keep a regular schedule of exercise and meals. Don't let yourself get too hungry from skipping meals. That is when you make the worst choices. Kepp the drinking to a very low level or just do club soda at the party. You can exercise by jogging to class or taking the stairs. Just try to stay aware of what you are…

I am taking a supplement which controls my hunger. I am not hungry. I am not thin and I am eating a small amount. The water I drink (from 8 - 10 cups per day) has me feeling very full and it is true that it is a struggle to get more in. This is not a lie. I am sure that without the appetite suppressant I would probably be…

I do a quick smoothie with frozen berries (they come in a package mixed blueberries, strawberies and blackberries in the freezer section of the store) soy milk and a scoop of powder protein

You may not be eating enough. Your body may be in "starvation" mode and holding on to everything. I have a similar problem. The body is an amazing machine and it will preserve itself. I had to eat just a tad more calories and when I work out I have to make sure to get my heart rate up to the appropropriate range for my age…

I am looking for support also. I am a nurse and I have worked the night shift. Thank God I am on a day shift now but my job is very sedentary. I try to get up and walk about every 2 hours. I am on the 3rd floor so I take the stairs. I remove the coins from my purse so I am not tempted to use the vending machines. It is…

You have been through a lot. Stay positive and don't give up:smile:

Stop beating yourself up. Try to set smaller goals that you can achieve. Don't use the scale or your clothes to measure your worth. Be kind to yourself. Set goals for 1 meal at a time if you have to. Eliminate the negatives. Keep your head up and keep moving forward.
