:'( Don't give up! It's a hard cycle to break but many on here have done it.

Ah yaaaaasssss!!! Way to go! You look amazing and you did before but you a little more confident in those new pics.

Very nice!

Does anyone know about this? Is there something that triggers it? I keep seeing these commercials for Vyvanse for Binge eating disorder. But I think this is something that should be talked about with a professional.

I was thinking about this post today while I was on a walk. I used to do one big binge probably 2-4 X in a month. It was always the same thing. This was before the days of MFP so maybe out of morbid curiosity I added it all up today. It was always on Sunday. I'd see a mountain of paperwork that needed to be done my bf was…

That's quite an accomplishment. Fellow shorty... I'm 5'2 and a half and a little stuck around 136-137. Also going the slow and steady route. But in realty I'm not doing a whole lot this spring.. been coasting...not logging all the time or exercising much... just looking at success stories for a motivating story. I guess…

It looks like you have the right attitude. Not perfection... just better and happier. Good luck to you!

I like salt and pre-packaged meals. If I get a sudden weight gain I know its probably sodium. The best way for me to balance it out is to drink water and eat an avocado (or something that has potassium and magnesium) but everyone is different.

I know everyone else has said it but you look great! You look both healthier and happier and I can't be sure if it's cause of your diet or something else but your skin appears clearer now too.

You look great! Way to commit! I am going slowly too. If you are anything like me you might get annoyed with those posts where people whine about only losing 8 pounds that month.

Getting started is the hardest part! Way to go!

Thanks @missnelso04! Sounds like you got the right attitude :) And yes take a before picture. Even you don't feel like putting it out there I wish I had a good one of me at my highest weight for those days where its hard to see the difference.

Hi I'm 5'2. Started at 157 in March of 2014. I'm currently hanging out in 135-136 area and trying to lose the last 10 or so pounds. 10 makes a big difference at our height. Currently feeling a little stuck. So I looked at the progress photos and I can see a big difference (The ones attached are at 147/139). I try to work…

Try to associate workouts with a tiny reward. Winter is brutal so if I can make myself have a workout I deserve a hot shower or bath with some fancy salts. If I make myself do this 4 times in a week maybe I deserve a groupon discounted massage.

I am not a clean eater but for me eating at a deficit took some trial and error. I prefer to have a very low cal breakfast, limited snacking, and a large lunch and dinner. Twice a day I eat to where I am full (not stuffed) and eat pretty much whatever I want. This is how I do it. I want to feel satisfied. I don't like…

Hooray you look great! I've told people that too. If you want to invest in anything it should be shoes or something you like, like a bike or a local gym membership. You don't need any gimmicks.

Way to go! Way to make it to the other side!

I think when I really made a change I asked myself what I was willing to do to get healthier. I said I'm not going to do anything crazy. I will not starve myself. I will not do any cleanses. Then I asked myself what I was willing to do. What should I do even if I see the same exact person in the mirror? I told myself I…

You look fantastic! And it sounds like you will be looking fantastic for the rest of your days =)

Remember that there is someone out there that would do cartwheels if they woke up in your body. And remember that it's your body that is going to take you through this challenge. So be good to it.

Sounds like a good plan to me. But if you are yo-yoer and a new busy Dad (and a lot of people are) I would suggest you really ease yourself into it. Exercising every day is a commitment. I would eat around maintenance or just under and walk a few days a week. Get to know yourself better by writing a few things down like if…

wow holy man that is amazing! I am also 5'2 and got about 17 of those unneeded pounds off. Hoping my end photo will look like that!

bai5 bubbles yummy

My highest calories come around lunch time too. I usually have a small or non-breakfast and a small dinner so when its the middle of the day and I am stressed I can eat whatever I want. Everyone is different but for me having carbs or sugary stuff when I fist get up doesn't work. I'll be hungry a couple hours later and yes…

Ahhhh I feel like I've found my people :) 5'2 here with about 15 lbs left to lose. Add me for motivation. Not the healthiest diary but it's open. I got nothing to hide.

Don't beat yourself up girly! You can eat fast food every once in awhile! Not every day is going to be great. You were only a 100 calories over. You can look at my diary. It has more bad things than good things as of late and I'm still losing. I think a lot of us go over at least once a week. I personally think you should…

You look great! I feel like a lot of my heavier pictures were coincidentally taken at the bar too. Now you'll have pictures of you looking your best and finishing your half marathon.

Very nice! What kind of work outs are you doing? I'd like to make my bum a little fuller. Been doing some squats and uphill lunges but need to be more regimented.

I am into it! I'm at 6,000 today so far but I want to try.
