  • I totally know what you mean. Once I get the sweet tooth going or eat just a little too much, the next day is always ridiculously hard for me. But just push through it - you'll feel better again, and it will get easier again. And of course, come to us whenever you need to vent! we are always here to offer you…

  • I absolutely love coming back here and reading everyone's posts between weigh-in days, especially on days like today when I worry about how my food control will go. It gives me motivation! I have a Super Bowl party to attend tonight, and we were told to bring our favorite Super Bowl foods. I planned to bring mozzarella…

  • Awesome advice! I will have to remember that for next time, definitely. Luckily I did ok, there was pizza and no fruit lol. But I stuck to my plan, indulged a little but didn't go crazy, skipped the ice cream, only had half of my cake, and ended up only barely over my calorie goal, which I call a win!! Hooray! Thanks for…

  • I'm so sorry to hear about your relationship trouble, and I am in awe that you are still in it, girl! What an incredible feat, especially when you feel like you are falling apart. Just think of it this way, if you can get through this while still taking good care of yourself, then you can do it through anything! You got…

  • I definitely agree with what most people have been saying. Yes, it's awesome to have an "ultimate" goal, i.e. your eventual goal weight. But that's like saying that "I want to be an astronaut". Sure, it's achievable, but it's not going to happen overnight. You have to work for it. Reach much smaller goals. Eventually it…

  • Whenever I'm trying to watch what I eat on my birthday I usually opt for angel food cake with some light whip cream and strawberries. It's delicious, one of my favorites so I don't feel cheated, but you don't have to deal with all the high calories that come from regular cake w/frosting. =) But like everyone else has been…

  • amina429 - Thanks for the encouragement! It helped a lot! Forest91 - Don't look at it like that. In my own opinion your start weight should always be moved up to your heaviest weight. So from my perspective, your SW is actually 188 and you have already shed 4 pounds! Hooray! =) It's all about your attitude. Also your goal…
