I dont see how anyone can say weight loss is easy. Then why do so many gain their weight back. It annoys me when people say they cant eat enough when logging to lose weight, i think why are you here, you must have ate too much.

cucumber, tomatoe, celery

Gods protection, getting rid of him. Move on and enjoy life, you are lucky you lost weight and didnt gain. Keep eating healthy with occasional treats.

bought a cute dress at thrift store, usually they are all just small sizes, but hey I am in the small size, size 8-10 medium dress, felt great to wear it!

yes I love that book Becks Diet Solution, very helpful

nighthawk, me too, I have my days when I eat all my calories early in the day, I thought it was only me. I guess we are so hard on ourselves. Jellyroll, love that name. Yes I will give it a few days and see. Sorry, Reeniehj, about giving you a craving, I do the same. Someone mentions a food I want it! This has all been so…

Mike Pfirrman, laughing here, I dont even like peanut butter, we are all so different. I crave stuff like cinnamon buns which I cant have in the house and choc nut sundae or oreo sundae or cherry pie and ice cream from McDonalds, m&ms is another one. Yep I like junk, now I realize I am a sugar nut. It is a wonder I lost 40…

sniferpug, good to know. When I crave stuff I have eaten it and logged it but going to hold off next time. I do like you amusedmunk but going to try to hold off and see what happens. Thanks for all of your replies

wow, wish that was me, I lost 40 lbs but I don't crave healthy foods. I just make myself do it!

cmriverside, you could be right, I love junk food and Mcdonalds but believe it or not I am better than I was, last couple weeks been trying to get that 5 lbs off. I need more vegetables but I dont do beans or fruit much because I do low carb which works for me. I love those chips, porkrhinds, I know. I cant do nuts, cant…

eat a lot of protein and drink a lot of water and coffee, helps me.

did better today, feeling sorry for myself lately dealing with adult kids and Mom and finally decided enough is enough, people have it harder than you do so get a grip and quit doing all this overeating. I seen a guy in Mcdonalds with one leg and I thought I could certainly go with a small amount of food with my stress, my…

I am up 5 lbs, wanted to be down 5. My 92 yr old Mom is stressing me and the winters are rough, dont remember them this hard last year. I love done throw in the towel, keeping on keeping on. I know it gets easier when warmer. I got out and did a run/walk thing today when it got warmer, felt great. May have to bundle up…

have had my weight off for a couple years now and no one comments on it and I miss it but had not seen someone for a long time today at the gym and she said you have lost weight, made me feel good!

I have been trying to lose 5 lbs since last summer,but I have gained 5 lbs. So just want to get the 5 lbs off, hope to get it off February.

yes I hit 155 one time, never to see again. I want to just get back to what I was before Xmas, up 3 lbs but up 6 lbs from my lowest. I will be happy with the 3 lb lost. Hope to be there by the end of January!

I drink, whether water or tea, drink fills me up. I never eat at night any more, it was a bad habit but my husb cannot seem to give it up either, I make him go somewhere else with his food.

Also had a church dinner thing and they had desserts and I had none. Now I know to have a little, yes a little so I dont feel deprived, I think this may be why I overate also.

thanks Annp, I weigh everyday, I made the mistake of not weighing one year and gained 25 lbs. Live and learn. I use to weigh once every 3 or 4 weeks, my scales got off 10 lbs, I gained 10 on top of that and then got mad and gained another 5. I had rather weigh even if bad, at least I know where I stand. Yes, stress is a…

got off track yesterday, ate everything in sight but good thing is it is just a 1 day thing, didnt give up, I use to would have just thrown in the towel.

I am getting over a terrible cold, stress with Mom, went to a church thing and did not eat the desserts, may have deprived myself, think I will eat a little dessert next time. I guess all these things triggered me. Yes now I am aware of what I was doing, I had no idea why I was so starved, still not sure and dont know if I…

i like a mini kind bar or rice cake w/pnut butter and a little jelly. I also eat a little choc every day, a little, maybe 1 candy kiss. I freeze them.

thanks to all of ya, yes the stress was bad. The strange thing is I didnt realize I was so stressed, I was just starving for food. Later I put it together, it was after seeing Mom in the hospital the day before. Now that I am aware I think I can get a hold on it.

the crazy part of this is I didnt know I was stressed, I was just starved. It must have been subconscious, I know weird but then I got to thinking why am I eating all this? After the fact I did go exercise.

yes that emotional eating gets us.

wow you look great, I weigh about what you do. I try to stay 159. Low carb worked great for me also, keto was a little too strick. I eat 100 gr or less of carbs and weight came off. Such a good feeling.

also very interesting the counselling, I quit argueing with my family which helped a lot. Cant change them. Did the counseling help?

i am 66 years old also, I lost 40 lbs thru mfp so you can do it. Everyone is different, someone at the gym told me to eat 100 gr of carbs or less and I do this and it worked along with logging. Find your thing!

I leave my before and after on my phone and it gives me motivation, look at it often.

I did good over Xmas, then got sick, went down hill. 4 pounds, plan on having it off in next 2 weeks. 1) no candy kisses 2) drink more water 3)drink not tea 4) eat soup 5) eat 100 gr of carbs or less a day 6) exercise 5 days a week 7) Say No to myself
