I just really wanted to add my bit and agree with all others. Your story is inspiring and I guarantee a common one. I certainly haven't beaten the emotional eating. Sometimes, I try to just think about the "pangs" Are they hunger, boredom, Stress ? etc etc - Then I drink the biggest glass of water I can cope with and set…

Last 8 years have been hard, but it does get better, I'm…

Definately the best first step is to start here. Be true to yourself and record EVERYTHING. A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips - you can really do this - Even 0.5 lb per week weight loss is a huge achievement if it stays off. Next time you visit the supermarket, carry an extra bag of sugar around with you and…

Erin this site has been a dream come true. I was introduced to it in January this year and truely haven't looked back. My biggest achievement was to BELIEVE that between 0.5 and 1 lb weight loss each week - was a FANTASTIC result. I too have yo yo dieted with weight watchers but find calorie counting sooooo much easier.…

feel free to add me to friends list - been on this site almost 6 months and I've loved the results - my biggest challenge was to accept this as the long term change and be delirious with 1/2 lb weight loss in a week. You can do - you will get the support again and you WILL love yourself for you and not what ever you see in…

Hi and welcome to MFP. I've been on this site almost 6 months and quietly dislike and do next to no exercise. With the help of this site and an awakening on the calorie front have managed to lose 23 lb so far. I realise this may be much higher with exercise, however I am delighted with results so far. I must say it was an…

Good luck Sally, you are right it is so hard to see thins thing as a long term/permanent life change - I started in January 2010 and delighted with weight loss - which now has not changed one ounce down or up for 4 weeks. Obviously I'm grateful for the latter, but am determined like you to kick start this again, get back…
