Thanks! I think it's working now.

My experience has been that you'll have to work back up to the level you've been at. I would say step it back a notch and listen carefully to what your body tells you about what it can handle and when it's ready to step it back up. When I've gone through this, I've had to remind myself that jumping back in too quickly will…

Those sound like classic anxiety dreams. They're your mind's way of expressing fears, worries, stress, etc.--not necessarily about those specific things, though. The images are often ways your mind reflects worries about losing control in your life or fears about something bad happening in your life or things like that.…

I went through the same thing. For some reason, my body hit a plateau for about a month when I got to the point of having about fifty pounds left to lose. I didn't change anything... just stayed very consistently within my calorie goal each day, and after that month I went back to losing a pound or two each week. I don't…

Mine has noticeably decreased. Both my husband and I are eating smaller portions of everything, so we have more leftovers to eat for future meals. We probably haven't been as good as we should be about eating healthier food, though. We're going with one change at a time, and portioning is it right now.

I went through the same thing with a serious knee injury that kept me on crutches and the couch for four months. I gained 30 pounds and wasn't able to get rid of any of it until I found this website. Now that I've been on this site for 5 months, I've lost about 40 pounds and am in better shape than I was before my injury.…

At my workplace, treat day is always on Wednesdays, and I talk to my co-workers about what they're bringing in for treats. Then I make sure that I go for a run before work and eat somewhat smaller meals on Wednesdays so that I can allow myself a pre-determined amount of the treat if I want it. That way I don't feel…

I have a health coach, who happens to be the person who recommended this website to me.

I've been in the same boat. I had a really bad knee injury that kept me inactive for four months and really set me back. Rebuilding my fitness and re-losing the weight has been a long process, but I've stayed with it and seen results. Stick with it, and you'll get back to where you want to be too! Feel free to add me as a…

For me intense exercise works really well, so I run until I drop.

Welcome! It sounds like you're off to a great start! My usual strategy when I want food that I don't need is to drink water so that I still have something to put in my mouth that won't add calories. I don't know if that will help for you, but it does for me.

I've heard this from people who are former runners and who messed up their knees and/or feet running. These are also people who say that they really pushed themselves, and I think that they probably overdid it and hurt themselves that way. I think running is like any sport--you can get hurt and damage your body, but if you…

Thanks for the encouragement! :smile:
