  • This happened to me ... my dress was HUGE on me on my friend's big day. Our solution: we marked the dress with eyeliner and borrowed a staple gun from their facilities crew. It looked funny close up but who cares? Everyone is looking at the bride anyway and the dress looked fine in the pics. You can also be more organized…

  • Girl, I feel this! I'm a professional Sommelier... I consume a minimum 8oz of wine at work alone. It's my livelihood, my art, my hobby, my passion... I always leave calories for wine. (Anyone is welcome to PM me with wine questions in exchange for diet cheerleading ... :) )

  • Hi there! I don't comment much but I read a lot here and this one spoke to me. I have the same pattern as you, OP. I have come to the realization that I "reward" myself for a new low weight by taking a day to eat unhealthy. "Oh I just hit 165lbs ... yeah I can go to a Chinese Buffet and eat anything I want. I have some…

  • Trust and work the program. Practice determination (motivation is fickle at best). Log everything even if it puts you over your goals (we won't judge). Most importantly this is a training tool to help you develop healthy habits for the rest of your life. It's not a "diet".
    in Support... Looking for tips, friends and stories to help me Comment by Acrosno January 2017
  • Don't stress! If you're working the program the way it's intended you're reforming your habits for the rest of your life! It is completely unrealistic to think there will not be days where you go completely "off reservation" and eat a ton! What's important is that you log it. Note the effect it has on you and make your…
    in I reeeeally screwed up. Comment by Acrosno December 2016
  • Still pretty new to the discussion boards but my 2nd time with MFP. This time around I'be noticed a BIG difference in myself. As a result a BIG difference in my results. Between reading threads here and my own experience the secret to starting your journey and being successful with it is ... you. Your motivation. Your…

  • Way to go! :D
    in Halfway there! Comment by Acrosno November 2016
  • This problem exactly! For me so far it's just been determination. If I do nip a fry or two I log it and move on.

  • [quote="CharlieBeansmomTra LOL! I'm a medical marvel!!! :) No seriously after I read your reply I went and looked. You're right. They are there, but I really had to look which is nice I guess! I have mixed emotions about that (mine are from rapid weight gain, not from pregnancy so they are like a badge of shame to me...) I…

  • Bio-oil. I got a sample in my Ipsy bag last year and not only did it vanish my stretch marks but some very old, very aggressive burn scars! I swear by the stuff! :)

    in TEXAS People! Comment by Acrosno November 2016
  • I know I might get a lot of flack for this but my strategy is to weigh daily. Mentally I know it's just water weight from excess alcohol and sodium but seeing the scale go up after a "bad" day makes me think twice the next time I'm offered a third drink or my friends order greasy pub food...

  • It's not only what we want it's what we deserve! To be the healthy, slim humans we know we can be! I'm rooting for you! You've totally got this!
    in This is MY year! Comment by Acrosno October 2016
  • I have an Aria Scale and weigh daily. I like to see how my choices the day before affect my weight. Also, it's easier to correct a 0.2 lb mistake than it is to correct a 2-5 lb mistake (at least in my opinion) ... I like to catch upward trends early. But that's just me. It's whatever works for you ... but seriously, you…
    in Do you weigh yourself too often? Comment by Acrosno October 2016
  • I feel this feel. But you gotta get back in the saddle! This is a lifetime. Not a year. Not two years. The rest of your healthy, fit, wonderful life! We all struggle. Daily. I myself just got back on my journey after gaining 50 Pounds back! (Omgwtfhowdidiletthishappen!) Just last night I was staring down a huge pan of…
    in Feeling a little Blue - Motivation help please Comment by Acrosno October 2016
  • Cheeseburgers are my kryptonite. 2 years ago I lost 30ish #s with MFP... then I met my chef boyfriend ... now up 50lbs and I've come back to the flock. The first thing I did was decide to go Vegan until I drop 15 at least. 3 weeks in 11 lost. I must admit I've slipped up a few times.(I'm the Sommelier at a country club ...…
    in What is your biggest SUCCESS with your eating habits? Comment by Acrosno October 2016
  • A nice Lush gift set for myself, expensive boots... I keep a list on my phone of things I see that I want but probably shouldn't spend money on... every 5 pounds I get to pick something from the list!
