  • Emotional eating is huge for me, too. When I'm particularly stressed, I go to see what kind of food I can find in the fridge. Considering stress = cortisol production and cortisol = belly fat, adding more food to the equation really isn't helping me - at all!

  • I work at a martial arts school. When your job is physical, there comes a point where your body doesn't respond to that work in terms of weight loss. I hadn't been working out in the AM, was eating poorly and had gained a lot of weight. Someone came to me and said, "Someone asked me if you are pregnant." I nearly died.

  • My dad had gastric bypass a few years ago. He was able to lose about 20 pounds before surgery, but it was to get from one of his maximum weights to his new low weight. My dad would swing from 380lbs to 420 pounds; and could not get past 380 for the life of him. My father also had several co-morbidities at the time of his…

  • Hah! This is one of the reasons I only weigh once per week, officially (though I often cheat mid-week). I always weigh myself first thing in the AM; as that's supposed to be your truest weight. I once weighed in the AM and PM just to see how things fluctuate; the difference was amazing; almost 8lbs. And that's fluid…
    in How much can weight vary overnight and during the day? Comment by CathyFinch May 2013
  • Hi there - I've done it and don't find it too difficult, but I got used to eating really clean. The trick is to find good seasonings you can use to liven up the foods you're eating. There are a ton of healthy, herbal seasonings and oils that will help to boost your immune system. Things like coconut oil, garlic, and…
