You are only 15 pounds away from your goal weight! That is so doable and you should be excited about your achievements! Our bodies are amazing machines and you could wind up looking better than ever before with the right eating and exercise plan. Do it for health and fitness. The ability to run with your children and…

I think at the six month mark, everyone can grow a little weary. It isn't the end of the world, it is just a little pause in progress. Maybe try eating at maintenance to give yourself a little break for just a week. See if it helps with the binging. But don't stop logging your food. That is the one habit that will keep you…

I think the best thing you could do for yourself is just focus on improving your eating habits first. Set yourself a calorie goal, log every bite you take, weigh and measure your food. Once you start to see your weight come down, and it will if you eat at a deficit, you will be more motivated to add a fitness routine.…

It is time to focus on healing yourself. I'm so sorry for all of your losses. Understand that you've been damaged and start today to repair yourself. Big hug to you.

I'm in. I'll start on the 4th with you. It won't be easy. I have a party on the 9th, but let's give it a shot! I'll volunteer to be the designated driver. I drink every day. And the calories really add up. I'm going to try hard and I hope you will hold me accountable. My diary is open.

Look up your local markets online to see what they have on sale and try incorporating those fresh foods into your diet. Shop around for the best prices. It may vary from week to week. Don't know where you are, but I know Publix has a good website for their weekly sales. I bet Trader Joes does too.

Knowing you have it empowers you to make the necessary changes. My mom refused to be tested, because she knew she had it, but wanted to ignore it. You can get it under control! You hang in there and do what your doctor tells you. Prayers here for you.

You were laid off. That is what your boss told you and that is not a mark on your reputation. In fact, it is sometimes those at a higher salary who are let go to get the biggest relief. Give yourself some time and then be nicer to yourself.

I agree. Take small steps. Like pick one thing to do today that no matter what, you do it. It will make you feel like you have control over something. Many of us struggle daily. Some days it is just hard. You can do it focus on one thing today, one thing tomorrow, keep going!

I would love to get some support. I'm not a drama queen. I'm not a special snowflake. Just need some help.

Another thing to know is that you can import recipes on here to calculate calories. Just keep track of how many portions the recipe made for you.

Allrecipes.com has a recipe for everything, including crockpot ideas and healthy eating. It is a lot cheaper to make your own meals, portion and freeze them. Use lean meats or proteins and lots of Non-starchy vegetables to make them low calorie. It is time to experiment. And I love to cook pinto beans. Cheapest meal ever!

No. Not true. I've struggled my whole life but menopause took me from overweight to obese. It robbed my will to struggle for two years. I would advise you to see your doctor and tell them honestly what you are xperiencing.

And oh, by the way, I grew up in an 8 x 35 trailer and I don't blame it for my weight issues.

Quit blaming everyone but the one who puts the food in your mouth. Sorry. Just reality.

Don't think of it as wasting food, think of it as saving yourself, which you are doing if it triggers you. Get rid of it.

You took the first step in changing it. Congratulations!

It sounds as if you think the Duromine is making you feel bad. Did you let your doctor know?

If I don't weigh myself regularly, I gain weight. I try to weigh several times a week.

You can't change what you don't know. I you want to lose weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle, having a more normal relationship with the scale and food is important. Good luck!

You can use a flavored coffee creamer for about 35 calories. Add a packet of sweetener if not sweet enough. I love the bailey's.

Wow, wow, wow! Great job and commitment!

Some people are just rude. It isn't you - it's her. Just go find yourself a different class. One without mean girls. :)

You're not at square one! You are still 62 pounds lighter than when you started. 62 pounds! Don't dwell on the weight you've gained. You can apply the same techniques and lose the weight. You know how! Try not to compare this time to last time. Just do the right things. Weigh, measure your food, log it and exercise. Eat at…

Try for one day. If the cravings hit, make yourself a hot drink - I like coffee with a 35 calorie chocolate creamer. It tastes decadent and you have to drink it slowly. It seems to help me. If that doesn't help, just go to bed. I have done that often. No more calories, want to eat - just go to bed. When you wake up, you…

If you like this guy, then focus on him and not your food. I think I'm too late to respond to this, but I hope your date went well and that you had a great time.

Do you get free food there? Maybe try making a very thin pizza with loads of veggies. Do they have a salad bar?

I broke up with cheddar cheese by buying only the shredded packages and storing them in the freezer. You have a little when you need it. And not when you don't. I totally get you.
