We're all struggling with similar issues. I just ate Nutter Butter cookies and a candy bar because I'm stressed out about my son's upcoming visit home with his new wife and I was craving sugar. Now I wish I hadn't eaten what I ate. I'll try to do better going forward. Anyone feel free to add me.

You can do this! One day at a time. A year from now you'll be amazed at what you've done. Pittsburgh native here; now living in the Cleveland area ...... Here we go Steelers, Here we go!

I use Silk Soy Milk Lite Vanilla as my creamer. Slightly sweet, mixes well, tastes good (to me) and lower calories than milk or many other options.

Thank you for this insight.

I think this is an excellent question. I was sleep deprived yesterday due to getting back home at 1:00 am Tuesday from a quick trip to/from California. I debated going to the gym last night (light weights is what I do), but decided on an early night. I'm glad I did, and I'll be going to the gym this evening after work.

I think drinking my 7 glasses of water per day and staying hydrated helps with my CICO. Perhaps allowing for more efficient use of calories. I know that there is not universal agreement on good calories versus bad calories with respect to CICO. This being said, for me, I believe that some foods are harder to digest and…

My thoughts on this: 1) True friends will be more interested in what's on the inside and not what's on the outside. 2) Do the weight loss for your health. Let this be your focus. The confidence will come naturally as a result. As your confidence grows, your anxiety about this will decrease. 2) These days, society is…

@amusedmonkey Thank you.

Sincere question here: How much diet soda is considered to be too much diet soda? Meaning how much at one time or how much per day is considered to be unhealthy?

I find it best not to make comments about another person's appearance (weight, clothes, hair, etc.) unless they ask me for my feedback. Too much can be misinterpreted or misunderstood.

You seem to have the correct mind-set to be successful. Good luck to you.

I'm 53 and have lost 63 pounds over about the past 6 years; some of my weight loss on MFP and some prior to MFP. I don't believe age is a limiting factor with respect to weight loss and fitness. I have one relative who had serious weight related health issues and has lost significant weight after seriously starting to…

We like Silk Soy Lite Vanilla.

Write a long letter to yourself describing in detail what it is that you're angry about and why. At the end of your letter forgive yourself and give yourself permission to move on and be successful with your weight loss. Put the letter in the fireplace or BBQ pit and let it burn; cementing your forgiveness of yourself and…

Seriously, just do it. I went back to lifting a few years ago at age 51, after a knee injury. I'm less obese, stronger and I'm glad I did it.

Do it myself. Takes about 2 hours to clean the yard (pick up trash, sticks, etc.) and cut it. I prefer to do it myself because I feel like it's a great workout and stress reliever.

Feel free to add me. I've been on MFP for a while, and I'm doubling down on my commitment to lose the remaining weight I need to lose and to work out more frequently. I value the friendship and encouragement aspect of this journey and I'm supportive in return.

Love books. Always have one that I'm working on. Currently reading the Lew Archer series by Ross Macdonald.

Please feel free to add me. Always interested in receiving encouragement and in supporting others.

Thank you. I have a son in the USMC, and I've come to realize that all of our active duty military put their life on the line in the service of our country.

When my son was young, I thought parenting would get easier as he grew up. This isn't necessarily true. It doesn't get easier or harder; just more complicated.

There are a number of people on these boards who have a negative impression of Planet Fitness for one reason or another. There are also others who have found Planet Fitness to meet their needs and enjoy their membership there. It really gets back to one's goals and how much effort they put into it. I've worked out at…

For me, when I'm confronted with a dilemma, I pray for courage, strength and wisdom. I start this prayer by repenting and clearing my conscience. If the dilemma (problem) is too much (been there recently), I turn it over to God and let go of my grip on the problem. It's always worked for me. Always found a way through it.…

I just bought a new belt; the old one was simply too big. Also, my mother, and then some some co-workers who I hadn't seen in a while, commented on my weight loss. These are the types of things that keep me going forward.
