I like my PB&J. I use Sara Lee 45 cal multi grain bread, 1 tbs of peanut butter, and 1 tbs of sugar free raspberry jelly. It is fast, taste good and holds me over for awhile.

452 days here. Only a handful of days that don't have a full food log attached. It keeps me motivated to add another day. ;)

Your logo on you profile says it all, keep going. I am glad to see I am not the only one who fell to the box of cookies. Thin mints to be exact. After crashing and burning, feeling like a bloated toad, guilt beyond any confession could cure, I had to dust myself off and realize I am on a daily journey and not every trip is…

I am kind of like you. I can't plan a week worth of meals, but I do a couple of days. I also have on hand items to create some of my favorite meals. I use the same items to make several different meals. Once a week, mostly Mondays, I make sure I have all my basics on hand and then decide usually the morning of. That way I…

Indulging for a couple of days may make us feel like a bloated toad for two more days, but it doesn't derail and destory all the effort we have done for weeks and months. It will be ok.

it's ok, we had the monster of jelly beans, bad bad jelly beans!

I still log my day, no matter how bad it may look. If I can't even be honest with myself on the bad day then what is this whole journey for. Log it and move on!

I have tried it both ways, everyday and also long periods of time. I personally found that if I wait a long period of time between weigh in, I get discouraged because I think in my own mind "I must have lost at least (fill in the blank) pounds" then I get on the scale and it isn't nearly at much as I thought. I found…

Thank you for sharing your story and your faith. I am also on a journey for a better, healthier life. God has given me so many blessing, including me, that I want to make sure I take good care of what He has given me. Your testimony is a blessing for all to read and see!

Thank you for giving me that push I needed.

Lost 25 pounds and I can see only one chin now!

The reverse eating. When eat dinner in the morning and breakfast for dinner. I couldn't imagine eating fish and a salad first thing in the morning.

Hi! I have had several surgeries due to Ehlor-Danlos (total of 31), my last one being a major back surgery on Dec 31 - how's that for bring in the New Year with hardware. You body is going to do what it need to heal. Don't worry about gaining anything back right now until it is done healing and adjusting to what it has…

I'm in. I think this will get me going full speed again.

Hi! and yes you can do it, but I think it all comes from the heart first. I have played the "Yes I can" game for I don't know how long and never saw any results. This year, something happened, to my heart. Not my physical heart, but my spiritual heart, the me inside of me. Near the beginning of the year I kept hearing,…

Hi from Arizona! I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and 30 surgeries later, I am still walking. It isn't fun, but it just part of me and I have accepted it but I will not let it take over me. I had a couple of really rough year between 2011 - 2013 and needless to say with stress the weight really came on. It also seemed…

I am 5' 10 and big boned. I don't have the "curves" and I am pretty straight up and down. My doctor wants me between 165 - 175. When people find how much I really weigh they are kind a shocked because they think I weighed less. I just called it compacted weight. I know I have always felt better at about 165 -170. I want to…

I just got my Fitbit Flex, put it on and haven't taken it off, except to charge it. I love this little brain on my arm. It helps me keep track of my steps and syncs automatically to my laptop. I like the fact that it tracks my sleep also. I didn't realize what kind of pattern I was getting into at night and why I wasn't…
