It would be easy to fall into the trap of eating more heavily sugared or fatty foods. Continue your healthy eating habits, but add a bit more healthy fats, like nuts and avocado. Also be sure you are getting enough dairy. Your body needs the calcium. Good luck of getting healthier!

I have just finished my first week on MFP. The 1st week, I decided to only track my foods. No exercise. Today is the start of my 2nd week. I've done that failure thing so much, I decided to start doing just 5 minutes a day of exercise. Just 5 minutes! And I'm doing them lying down. Leg lifts, crunches, and light weights.…

It IS a battle, isn't it. If ranting helps (it helps me!) then keep doing it. There are no pat answers. I always say that the "job" isn't to loose the weight. The "job" is to do the healthy food management and exercise. The weight loss is an intended side effect. If we keep doing the JOB, we will reap the benefits of the…

Hi Amanda: I imagine most of us have been there. I've lost and gained sooo many times.... And so many of them I can tell you what caused it too! lol. This time I spent a lot of time getting my head into it. I think I am finally there. I've only been on here a few days, but I do love how the food tracker keeps me aware of…

Paxil. Add me too.

Hi CJ: I joined over a year ago but never got anywhere with it. Guess I wasn't ready. Tried some other things, but no go. Came back 5 days ago, and have been tracking pretty consistently. I've lost a couple of lbs and am feeling successful and encouraged. Sounds like you are doing all the right things, and your head is in…

Been there, done that. Thirty years later and my "baby-weight" has ballooned to an extra 150 lbs. I started this week. Add me as a friend if you like. We'll fight this battle together!

Me too! I'm with ya'!!

Love it !!!

I need to loose @ 145. I'd love to share the struggle. Add me if you like!

Hi. I just joined yesterday. Starting at 301 with a goal of 150. You could add me. I would love to hav a weight-loss "buddy".

@jonnythan: It's like a long distance runner having someone to pace him or her. It gives you something to measure progress/improvement against. At least that's what I think. lol

You probably had more salt than usual, too. That explains the water weight.
