I have also found that eating more small meals during the day helps. I try to keep each meal at 200-250 calories. By the time I am hungry again, 2 hours have passed.

It is nice to read all these posts. I hate exercising and don't have much time. Working full time certainly puts a dent in my day and I don't want to spend the evening working out. I do like to walk when the weather is nice and I have a treadmill in front of the TV, but I don't want to feel that if I don't get on it, I…

If only stop thinking about it ever works. Seems like when I think that, that is all I can think about whether it be food or anything else bothering me. I agree with the walk and big glass of water. You do have to get your mind switched to something different. You may not stop thinking about it completely, but at least…

I still have to have my Diet. Mt. Dew at work in the afternoon. Now if I have something at home, I will carry a bottle of water with me also. That way, I pick up the water bottle instead of the diet pop bottle first. Since water quenches thirst better any way, it seems to work pretty well. After the water, I am not thirsty…

I know I have to get stronger too. I did good today. My husband wanted to take me out tonight and I know we have dinner plans tomorrow night, so I said no for tonight. Today needs to be an under calorie, high exercise day. Hopefully it will work out ok in the end.

I am not sure I could do the every other day fast, but would 1 day a week be effective at all? Right now I have been doing it monthly unintentionally and have seen the benefits. I would like to take it to the next step, but not ready to go full force. Thanks for any input.

I commend you for treating it as one day. Like you said, you have plans to get back on track. You obviously see the entire picture. Keep up the positive attitude

I have found for me if I skip a day of doing something, the next day is harder to get back into it. I may not do a full workout every day, but I will at least get on the treadmill for 20-30 minutes when I don't feel like a full workout or I am busy. That way the next day is easier to go full strength.

I hate weekends because I always overeat. It seems if I know I am going out and starve all day, then I just eat more that night. I do try and get a workout in Friday night before I go out or Saturday morning, but it doesn't seem to help. I am afraid with summer coming, it will just be worse. Losing the same 3 pounds every…

You need to stay positive. When I get depressed, I eat more. Just keep at it and time will be your friend. I became obsessed with the scale too. I was weighing myself twice a day which really made me crazy. Like everyone else said, our weight will fluctuate. Good luck and I hope the encouragement is helping.

I have looked for other things to drink too. Since my doctor said the sweeteners inhibit weight loss, I have been really noticing the ingredients in things. I also have rosacea which aspartame doesn't help. It is really hard to find things that I like since I realized Sparkling Ice also has the sweeteners in it. Now that…

I would go and have a good time. Time away can be busy enough without worrying about logging everything down. If I am busy doing something, I just skip that day and start up again when my schedule gets back to normal. You will stay plenty busy.

I agree with Vsera, small goals work the best. I usually don't have a lose pounds goal, I have a don't gain pounds goal. I say I will not go above a certain weight. When I lose, then I lower my top weight. Also, set a goal for exercising. Walk some many minutes every day. Good luck and don't let your family get you down.…
