  • I'm happy to report that those feeling have been absent for several days. For me, it's 2 hefty meals a day with a couple light snacks in between. This may change as the psychology does but this is what works for me right now. I've also discovered water does NOT help me but a cup of tea sweetened with stevia gives both a…
    in What do YOU do when you feel hungry (but know you're not)? Comment by mp5girl May 2014
  • I'm only 5'4 with a thicker German frame and I chose a goal of 160. Statistically that's still 'fat' but I figure at that point, I can work on more fitness related goals and not worry so much about what the scale says. I'm not worried about the end number as much as I am about how I feel, how my stamina is, and how strong…
    in Need help- How did you choose your goal weight? Comment by mp5girl May 2014
  • OK I didn't read ALL the previous posts... but I know MY man. He did something similar and here's what it boiled down to... 1. My healthy choices made his meals healthy. He didn't like that. None of it. So my dieting had to be on me only. He'd rather have a plate of a pound of fried bacon than live 5 more years. 2. Making…

    in Does anyone have a recipe for homemade granola? Comment by mp5girl May 2014
  • I should have offered more detail. :) I never eat breakfast so eating a couple eggs is actually very good for me. I did follow it up with some water. I'm still fighting it but am not certain how to translate it. Some times I feel weak but it goes away. I'm averaging 1400 calories or so a day. If I get busy doing something,…

  • Thanks Rich! Most of my family passed from unrelated issues. A drug over dose, heart attack, motorcycle accident, old age, an lung cancer would cover the categories. I did check that my health is over all 'normal'. I'm just fat. I am not prediabetic, I don't have high cholesterol or blood pressure and no thyroid issues or…

  • Stay at home mom here with a homeschooled daughter. I have 70ish lbs to lose. Also been on here before but life took a terrible turn for several years and I spiraled with it. Would LOVE more dedicated chubby buddies to help along the way! Friends and family are great, but those on the same journey are even better!
