I think a lot of us here are emotional eaters or addicted to food....I still have my days, but have lost 60lbs over the course of 2 years, and while I am stuck at the moment and have not lost in a few months, I also have not gained or given up. Feel free to read my profile and if you think we would be good cheerleaders for…

I have lost close to 60 lbs....I still have some to lose...20-30....

Hi! I have been here just over 2 years....haven't lost any in last few months but have lost close to 60 and kept it off...ready to jumpstart myself back to losing again. I am 45 y/o mom of two boys. Friend me if you think I would be a good cheerleader for you!

Welcome! I have been here a little over 2 years. I have lost close to 60 lbs....I am restarting because I have not lost in a few months, BUT I have maintained; which in and of itself is SUCCESS!!! Friend me if you think I can be a good support to you.

Hi....I have been on here just over 2 years...I have 'dieted' most of my life and gained it all back and then some. Diabetes and poor health and desperately wanting to be around for my boys woke me up. I have lost just shy of 60lbs...I still have some to lose...20-25-30? And while I have been stagnant for a few months....I…

Welcome!!! I have been here just over 2 years. I have lost close to 60lbs....remember it is a journey and a lifestyle not a race or a diet. Feel free to send a friend request if you think I can be a help.

Welcome! Been here two years....feel free to friend me if you need some cheering on!

Just finished Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCeight. Good read. (Love this thread BTW) :flowerforyou:

I am a Luna bar girl, but after seeing about Quest bars and the calories are just as low, I will be checking them out at the Vitamin Shoppe! Thanks!

When I originally joined in January, I thought that I would just use to track too....no friending....I didn't really see the 'benefit' to having 'friends' on here. But I thought to myself, I have tracked before...successfully though I always would back slide. So I thought, 'do something different.' So friends it is....and…

You tube...walking exercises or just type in low impact and see what pops up! Good luck!

Hi! I am 43 and have lost 42 lbs since Jan. I am a type 2 diabetic....I have reduced my meds from 6 shots a day and 3 oral meds to one shot a day and one oral med twice a day. I have a 15 y/o and a 7 y/o. I have been to doctors and nutritionists to start and support me on this journey....my biggest take away? After YEARS…

Welcome! I love this site and am sure you will too! I am 43, mother of 2 and just went back to part time work in May. I started in Jan and have lost 41lbs so far. Feel free to add me as a friend! :bigsmile:

Brenn, I know it is so very hard to break the cycle, but I think by you acknowledging your feelings and the way you were and are treated is half the battle! Good for you! You know your triggers and are taking the right approach in preparing yourself to handle them without food. I wish you the best !

Stuffed Zucchini or Zucchini Boats. I slice in half longwise, scoop out seeds. Pop in microwave for 2 to 3 mins per half to begin the cooking process. Mince couple cloves of garlic, chop onion and saute in some pam until tender. Mix in with your favorite sauce and cooked lean ground meat. Put zucchini boats in a 9X13, put…

Chicken breasts, salsa, taco seasoning. Put it in a crockpot and let go all day. Make as much as you want. I have a family of four. I use 2 jars of store brand salsa (2 for $3), one or two packs of taco seasoning, depending on your tastes. Can add black beans as well. The ratio of all of the above really just depends on…

I only know a bit about the big yoga ball...I think. Sitting on it to watch tv or do whatever is supposed to strengthen your core...it is a balance thing, I guess. You can sit on it and slide forward a bit and do sit ups 'on' it, or lay on your belly and roll so it is on your thighs and do push ups. My sister bought me one…

Thanks all!!! Can't wait to try it!

But don't you burn more calories EATING celery than celery has????:grumble:

Did you use the "My Recipes" thing under food? You can input each ingredient and then divide by serving size. It then saves the recipe so that the next time you make it you don't have to enter individual ingredients. Hope that helps!

Wow! Great information here!!! Thanks for asking the question! And thanks to all of those that answered with great info!

Evening snacks....I do a lot of protein first snacks....greek yogurt, cheese sticks, hard boiled eggs....non protein...popcorn, skinny cow ice cream sandwiches, apples and peanut butter....really anything as long as you have the calories for it. You say your calories are too low? Did you choose the lose 1lb a week or 2lbs…

XO Love your attitude...I HAVE thought this way in the past...but now that I am becoming who I want to be on the inside...some of that is healing the inside.

Welcome!! I have been on here since February....this is a wonderfully supportive site. Anyone can feel free to add me. I have learned a few things along the way...I am no expert, but I can be supportive. :smile:

Thank you ladies!!

I have gotten into a good exercise routine...so that has become second nature...if I skip a day, I feel bad, physically and emotionally. I get it done first thing in the morning, so I don't have to think about it all day. I can eat healthy and do for the most part...sometimes the unhealthy treats call to me...but mostly,…

I had a hard time with vitamins too...my nutritionist found one that she found acceptable..it is called Alive...I get them at the Vitamin Shoppe...not too expensive and they taste pretty good. 3 gummies a day.

<--- This is my first cat...she found us last July with her lower lip practically torn off. I never liked cats. Never. Kittens either. Blech. Rumor has it I have since changed my mind. Rumer is her name.
