I learned that one way to avoid overeating when you're dieting is to log the food you are planning to have BEFORE you have it. Many times, when you put down 1000 calories in your log, you decide that maybe you are not going to eat that much. I am 79 years old and have struggled with weight and overeating for 55 years. I…

From 220 to 178 in 10 months (2013) and maintaining 177 for the last 9 years.

I eat them because I'm on maintenance (240 to 171) for the last three years. Sometimes I do an extra work out when I know that I'm going to overeat. My diet is very healthy but I like to indulge on a pizza once a week or so. My normal workout is 100 on average miles of riding per week. I'm 73 years old and feel fantastic.

I don't know about you but I did one hour on the cycling trainer.

Have you tried a crock pot (slow cooker)? It's fantastic for low effort meal making. There are tons of recipes on the web. As a substitute for rice or noodles you can use beans. One meal on the crock pot can easily feed 8 (large crock pot) cleaning is easy since you only use the one pot and it's warm and ready to eat for a…

I track it and supplement it with pills. it helps me prevent cramps in my legs at night (I cycle) and it's supposed to help with muscle contractions. I take ~1200 mg per day unless I ride more than 2 hours in which case I take 1800 mg. For comparison sake, 1 banana has 422 mg. It's hard to overdose on potassium unless you…

I agree calorie deficit is the way to go. Portion control is the key. I avoid pizza not because is bad for me but because it is very tempting for me and I tend to overeat. Decide what you are going to eat AND record the number of calories before you consume them. It helps you decide whether you want to REALLY have that…

Even in my 70's that's pretty funny

Could it be that you're trying to lose weight too quickly? If you feel hungry all the time or you feel that you are not having enough food, you should try increasing your calories a little.

I agree with AlongCame... no starvation at 1100 calories in 3 days. You don't say how much you weigh but I consider body weight * 10 a good diet calorie daily intake. If you are a female, you could try 9 times body weight.

Hi, I can relate to your "problem" except that I'm a 69 year old man. My "boobies" have shrunk a lot during my weight loss (21 pounds) but one has shrunk more than the other, so I am a bit lopsided. I hope that doesn't happen to you!

Your husband is a meathead. Dead from the neck up. It's doubtful that he will change in the near future. Perhaps when he gets much older. Of course, by then you will be so sick of him that it will be too late.
