I think going to these boards is a positive step. We should be here to support each other with this weight loss journey...depression or not. Seeing that you are not alone in this or the only one who feels a certain way may help. I am struggling with lack of motivation as well and it hinders my weight loss. Sometimes it is…

Feeling down lately and slipping too and stumbled upon your post. Maybe we can encourage each other. I think that's what these boards are for. Tomorrow is a brand new day and all we can do is the BEST WE CAN DO EACH DAY. We are not perfect...but try not to give up and do the best you can with each day you have.

Congratulations! That is great!

Never heard of the one banana two egg thing. Can anyone explain a little?

toss with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and roast in the oven

What is cookie butter? It sounds dangerous

We have a weekly date night at our favorite Mexican place. I am not giving it up even if I go over. I have tried ordering "healthier" things and count out my chips. I have asked them to give me grilled veggies instead of the rice and beans and that has been yummy. It's the darn margaritas that put me over!

I find it's too hard for me to give up bread and to help reduce calories I have been using our store brand 40 cal/slice bread for toast and sandwiches.

Thanks everyone. Some good things to try. I'm going to have to check out Bolthouse

mammapeach910 is the spiralizer expensive, bulky or hard to use?

Hi everyone! I stumbled upon this thread and thought I'd say hi. Not quite what to expect here, but it sounded like something I might be interested in so I will check it out. I am restarting MFP after a while off due to a difficult 2013. I've got a long ways to go but have been feeling better just by restarting and…

Any particular kind of ground turkey your favorite?

Thank you everyone! Today is a brand new day

Thanks everyone :)

Thank you. I thought I had done this before...but this time I actually saw something show up on my diary when it counted my steps and it said -320 which doesn't make sense to me. I'd think it would be positive if it is adding your steps.

Have you been on Weight Watchers? I have been a former weight watcher member and they currently say fruits and vegetables are "free". It is a hard mindset to change and I don't eat as many fruits and vegetables as I used to since I now "count" them. But, I agree any calories add up.

Congratulations on losing 50 pounds! That is awesome. Great job! Thanks for sharing your story.

I liked what someone said about it being "life." I struggle with it being just the right circumstances to lose weight and then life gets in the way..which it always will. So, I am telling myself to do the best I can each and every day and not to give up which I have done in the past.

LOVE spinach and mushrooms! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Want to try it soon

Yes, and I am just beginning. I'm still hungry so if I want more food I have to exercise.

Thanks everyone!
