I wore some pants today that I had not had on in a year and they were loose. Everyone was having cake today and I said No thank you. I cant be eating dessert every day, maybe once in 3 weeks.

wtg, alot of hard work, what a difference.

I read today that food is not pain medication, best advice I have got!

i think people are just curious, lady at my gym went from 228 to 138 and her husband is heavy and I wonder if he is losing in the same household.

I love wearing my clothes, nothing is tight. I use to come home in my car and have to unbutton my pants. I can wear everything in my closet, a wonderful feeling.

i ordered pizza and decided (really a friend told me about this) to take the toppings off and put it on my 50 calorie low carb 4g flatbread. Great way to eat pizza.

I am glad to see I am not the only one that has found maintenance difficult. I do think it is worth it but I have to log my calories every day and weigh every day. I have had my weight off since 2013 , 40 lbs but gained 25 of it back after 4 years and had to get that off. Yes life happened and I got a flu and then could…

I have started taking a day a month and eat sweets. I cant handle them very often but one time a month seems to work. This month I had cake, cookies, candy bar and lost 2 lbs . Maybe it shook my metabolism.

if it is after 6pm I dont eat, just drink tea or water. During the day it will be hard boiled eggs, tuna, peanut butter, celery, radishes, sardines.

wow you look so different, wtg!

I wanted an oreo mcflurry but I dont eat after 6pm so I said No. Anyway, I looked it up and wow they have a lot of calories even the snack size. I have decided not to eat sweets but every 3-4 weeks so I will wait because it is a trigger for me, cant have ice cream very often.

I definitely think it helps to have some foods you love, I plan on doing this every month, I ate whatever I wanted and came down 2 pounds. I know I can't do it often but I think once every 3 or 4 weeks helps, also gets me off a plateau.

I gained about 7 pounds but have got it off. I decided to eat clean and took 1 day a month and had some junk food but only 1 day and it worked.

i have been trying to eat healthy but like you I said I need a little fun junk food and I am planning on doing that at least once a month if not twice, not overdo it but some choc cake, cheese popcorn, and a donut, then go back to my healthy eating. I agree too restrictive is not good either, trying to get a balance. I…

good for you taking care of you. My friend was doing the whole30 diet and her husb just got diagnosed with colan cancer and prostate cancer and she said I gained the covid 15. I know she gained 40 lbs when her Mom died. No food doesnt help, only gives us another problem.

went to steak place, no bread, loaded up vegetables on baked potato, ate very little of potato, mostly broccoli, peas, tomatoes, onions and cheese.

do what you want, sometimes I do when I can relate to something they have said, sometimes I dont.

2 lbs and I will be back to my goal weight, instead of losing 2 I have been gaining 2 so need to get on the ball!

it has been 2 years since I lost 30 lbs but today someone said you are still skinny mini, usually people dont pay attention any more (I miss that).

weight went up 8 lbs, got it off and dont want it back. Made up my mind to have some junk food last day of the month only, we will see how this goes. Otherwise I am eating clean.

i found this GLen Livingston on web, how to stop binge eating very helpful, also quit eating hard candy and getting into husb stash of junk food. 2 more lbs and I will be back into the 150's.

wow you did great. I am 5'4 and was happy to go from 208 to 159.

I lost my weight 2 years ago so no one mentions it now but this morning I had on a dress from lady next door, it was too big for her, she wore a size 4, so it was a size 12 and fit good. Someone said you have lost weight, felt good! I had actually gained 5 lbs and had just lost it, got down to 162, so on to my goal of the…

oh my you went with someone so much older and she kept you looking unattractive. I hope you begin to feel better about yourself, you will when you lose the weight. If she lied about so much stuff, you dont need that. Stay strong.

wow what a difference, wtg! I do intermittent fasting naturally. That is just the way I eat. I eat at pm and then not again til around 8am. I lost my weight and then found myself munching on chips and getting a piece of hard candy and then more candy and more chips and you know. I had to say STOP that, go in a different…

I was just thinking I do this automatic without even trying. I eat dinner 5oclock and it is 8 or 9 the next morning before I eat again. It is just the way I roll. My husb has a problem with night eating but I guess I just got out of the habit of eating at night, I drink stuff, water, tea, coffee.

just got back from the pool, felt great, 95 degrees here

we all mess up, main thing is to get back on track ASAP.

try not to comfort eat, that is what I do and it does not help. Wow that is stressful, just try to maintain.

wow what a difference! I lost weight on low carb also, not keto but low carb.
