I'm having the same troubles. I last two weeks then start my old habits. I lost 60 lbs the first time around and kept it off well for 2 years so I know I can do it but I keep feeling like there is somehow one golden shot with any addiction. I've also quit smoking 7 months ago and gained a good stone and half which is…

Hi Tharlin,can I ask what your starting weight was and how long it took for you to get to that 130 lbs? I agree it has to be a slow process and I don't mind it being slow because I understand slow and steady wins the race plus you've more of s chance of keeping it off but my problem right now is getting back on track and…

Thanks Sue, funnily enough ive been dying to run lately, probably to warm myself up but have to keep stopping because it gives me a pounding headache. Walking seems to be ok for me and I can walk damn fast without head pounding. I do love to lift heavy but suffer with shoulder and neck stiffness which was made worse by the…

How did you crack the goal in the end Jahalme? i am extremely stressed at times but sleep like a baby and try my best. Have been trying to destress lately to keep my bp down too.

Yes yes Zdyb2345! It's me to a T. I end up feeling so empty and like what's the point in living being this miserable. I do amazing, strip the goal closer then end up with headaches and cravings through the roof. It's becoming a battle and half. I am frightened to start a running/ huge exercise program up because I feel if…

PPlastics im 5'3 and 33 years old. I'm lightly active walking around 30-40 mins briskly every day. I have my cals set at 1300 but I often eat over that and gain so I can't see a way out of this at the moment. Im beginning to wonder if I'm just metabolically challenged. My doc thinks 129 or lower will be perfect for my…

Well done Ceci on the first 50lbs that's no small feat. I am 5'3 also but I have such a huge stomach area. Tiny arms and legs so I still feel fat. I have pcos though and ive read it's the typical body shape that goes hand in hand with that

Thanks for the thought Walter. I suppose I was scared to take a break because then I'd find it harder to get back on track if I took an outright break but I may as well have been honest with myself from the start instead of playing around these last pounds and making myself feel disgustingly guilty and like a damn failure…

I too suffer hugely with the winter blues, like another poster said i pretty much have to force myself to get up and out and live no matter what. The dark nights have had a big effect on me making me feel sleepy come 8-9pm so I'm clinging on bored indoors until a more appropriate time like 11am to go to bed. In those hours…

I am glad you have posted about face tingling/flushing because it's been driving me mad lately. I too have googled my eyeballs out over this and have come up with very little expect peri menapause symptoms. However I noticed that it too happens to me if I go over a certain amount of carbs in a day. I also have high blood…

Thanks for the reply. I do add correctly sometimes I overestimate my cals and I underestimate my waking times because I don't believe the cals burned are what mfp says. I have a feeling I'm not eating enough and it's become more noticeable since walking more and weightlifting. I'm going to change my goals and take it from…

Thank you very much for your reply and links. I will read them with interest. I think you are right and I need to change my goals as I am very worried about what I'd have to be on cal wise at goal at this rate.

I totally feel you on this one and do the same thing myself. I do great then it's totm and I go mad, feel down and find it hard to get back on track and even though I know each month it's coming I still get smacked in the face with it. I get back on by taking one day at a time, sounds boring but life can be some times and…

This was something I never thought of before losing my weight. I had nice perky but full breasts and now well.....I can't even call them breasts but I've lost 52lbs and so I just hoist them up in a good fitted bra and do as many pec exercises as possible to at least lift whats left :) I'd still rather this than my bigger…

Thank you for replying. I knew things took a while it's just such a worry for me right now as I am scared to go on maintanance cals incase I gain even more weight since just going over my 1200 per day can lead to a gain as it is.

Hi everyone, you are all doing so great and it's very inspiring. I'd like to join in with my weigh ins. 26 June 14 -137.4 27 June 14 -137 27 June 14 -135.8 28 June 14 -135.6 29 June 14 -135.8 30 June 14 -135.4 1 July 14 -134.8 2 July 14 -134.8 3 July 14 -134.2 4 July 14 -133.8

I feel your pain. Sometimes I feel very disheartened because I started 52lbs ago at a size 18 and now I'm in a 12 some places, some places a 14 and I think because the stores have all their sizes screwed it doesn't help us understand our new true size. So many stores here in the UK actually changed their sizing (there was…

I was diagnosed with pcos and pre diabetic 5 years ago and since then have lost 52lbs. I have always had regular periods though so I'm not completely textbook symptoms. I was lucky to have my son when I was 15 well before being diagnosed but I was to try now I have no idea if I could conceive. I have slight thinning around…

I do you can add me if you like although my diary is publicly open anyway.

I try my best to just not go there because I know once I buy in my fav chocolate I'd be thinking about it every day after that...however pms leads me crave badly so I will either have a piece of cheese with a sugar free coffee or 2 rich tea biscuits and then quickly go do something to take my mind if it or I will keep an…

Mine is open and I am very openly honest about everything I eat plus how I feel that day. I know if I was starting out weight loss again I'd like to see open diaries and real honest thoughts from others to help motivate and inspire me. It does make me feel more accountable but if I cheat or make a bad decision it hopefully…

What he said. Do you have a pulse? No seriously though that's too few calories, you need to eat more.

Feeling confident enough to go out in just jeans and t shirt with no make up for once.

Absolutely!

Some great advice here from posters. Were you this weight when you both started dating? It's sounding more and more like he's looking for excuses to not get married. The "but I've put my life on hold for you" story only should come up when the other partner has gone off the relationship otherwise it would never be brought…

I'm sorry this has happened to you and I don't think it's your fault. Look at David Beckham and Jude Law, or Arnold Schwarzenegger. They were all married to beautiful women but they went and had an affair with ugly women....why? I don't think it's about looks, I don't even think it's about you, I think it's because people…

Do you have children with him? The reason I ask is does he know that if children come along the female body will change and he doesn't sound to me that type that would embrace a natural baby bearing women shape. If it was me I'd be beyond heartbroken and would feel I had lost something with him. How long has he had these…

I don't know how to post the pictures, can anyone help please?

I've followed the steps and can not upload pics :(

Lol it is an annoying red number of death especially when I enjoyed a nice steak :( I ignored the red that day though and will do it again because I know people never got obese on a good piece of steak. I'm going to mess around with my settings and see if that helps, I also think I should go to the doctor to rule out a…
