I find that chili fills me up. It's my go-to lunch when I'm out and about.

This. Also, if I find I am eating over my calories due to a high cal meal or snack, I exercise to earn the calories that I spent.

This is exactly what I was going to say. If I work out a lot after being away from it, I always weigh more the next morning from water weight. It goes away quickly, but if I go a week or so without exercising (esp weight lifting), the effect happens again for a day or so. Once you get into an exercise routine, you will be…

As others said, you should seek professional counseling. Setting that aside - I think you need to look at the overall picture. It is not as if you need to come in under your calories every single day. There can be a certain amount of "banking" of calories as they do in WW on points. As long as, overall, you are consuming…

I had lost a lot of weight last year and had thrown out some of my "fat" clothes. I gained most (but not all) back and now, as I switch back to last year's fall/winter clothes, not much fits. I decided I am not going to buy new clothes in bigger sizes, but just lose as fast as possible to get back into last year's clothes.…

I'm in NJ in the NYC Metro area, so I think we are a bit high. I pay $50 an hour for a trainer who comes to my office. She charges some of her other clients $60, depending on their location. At the gym I used to go to (NY Sports Club), it was more like $75 or $80 for a one-hour session, depending on the package.

I'm really happy for you! Congrats! Another time you will cry with joy is when you throw out your "fat" clothes.

I love your attitude, Katbaran! And what an accomplishment - 61 lbs. Thanks for inspiring me today.

If I work out, I will get sweaty and I don't have time/place/etc. for a shower. I broke my toe 5 months ago and it is still sore. It gets worse if I put sneakers on.

I have the opposite problem. I grew up really skinny and didn't start to have a weight problem until I was about 30 and, even think I was 50 pounds below where I am now. The result is, as I am gaining weight I don't notice it as much because in my mind, I'm still thin (though that was more than 25 years ago...).

I've traveled all over the world - almost 2.5 million actual miles flown. This includes going to Japan ~ 120 times.

I don't think of high maintenance or low maintenance in terms of beauty regimen. I think of it in terms of expectations and how much the woman wants the man to do for her, especially if she never reciprocates. For example, the person who said a guy has to pay for his GF to have her hair done - to me that is high…

We have Charlie - a 6 year-old brown mini poodle. He was rescue, but he is really an affectionate dog, friendly and smart. He is a constant kisser. We don't know how he turned out so well with his background. Then, we have Beau - a 3 year-old black mini poodle. We got him from a breeder because we could not find a rescue…

Wonderful that you actually went back to the store and returned the items! Amazing and congrats!

What an incredible achievement! I'm really happy for you.

Every morning, first thing. If I don't, then I worry about the result and start pushing off the weighing. Before I know it, I've gained a lot.....
