I'm in your position too. Congrats on the weight loss! I only had to lose about 25 pounds - but I am so afraid of gaining it back. I have changed my settings to calculate my calories at "maintaining" and not "losing" but I find I'm not hitting the mark most days as the thought of gaining the weight back scares me. I love…

That is just absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are really working hard!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!

I love this site. Like all the others posting on this thread I have "met" some incredible people and learned LOTS from the forums and blogs. It has truly changed my life - I no longer diet....I make healthy choices!!!!! I love encouraging other members who are struggling - I remember being where they were - when you first…

I have the same thing happen - it is usually when I am stepping up my calorie burn with heavier workouts. When it happens I eat and log all the calories. BTW....when this happens I will ALWAYS lose a chunk of pounds in the next couple of days. I figure my body needs the calories or I wouldn't be so hungry!!! Good luck!!!!!

I have a desk job and the times I find myself getting sleepy (or cold - this darn office is NEVER warm) I go to the ladies bathroom and do about 50 jumping jacks. I keep a pair of comfy slip on sneakers under the cabinet and slip them on when I need to warm-up/wake-up.......lots of great ideas posted on this thread today -…

Yes, when I had a biking accident I could not workout - I kept my calories @ 1200 per day and did lose weight. I noticed it came off faster than I thought it would. Good luck!!!!!!!

Thanks for replying back!!!!!

I always get a salad with the following and it is AWESOME!!! Iceburg lettuce shredded mex cheese pico di gallo (that's my "dressing") avacado slices sauteed shrimp (six) Donna

Starting to feel sexy again!!!!! Life is good!!!!

Well said!!!!!! I am making healthy choices now and I feel so much better!!!!

I feel your pain (and your cravings) - I am 49 years old and still binging every month....do the best you can and don't beat yourself up. Sometimes I do plan ahead and have healthier sweets stashed at work. I have literally sent employees out to get me chocolate in the middle of the work day.....lol. Hang in…

I have been at this about five weeks and not only am I excercising more but I am also less hungry each day - it only took about a week for the cravings/hunger to pass. I tried to make the most healthy choices I could and didn't beat myself up. Many days I went over - I just tried to excercise a little more that night. Also…

I lived in San Diego and my mother got me a knit cap with matching scarf........ummmmmm, must have been a regift cause it never gets that cold in San Diego. Love her for trying....lol.

Not only did I eat like a boss today - I had baileys in my coffee this morning - I very seldom consume alcohol......it was awesome!!!!! No guilt here.......I enjoyed cooking for family all day. Life is GOOD!!!!!!

Sorry I didn't see this yesterday to respond to you. My son tried twice to take his life - and no one is/was judging him - we are just so grateful he is still here with us!!! I hope your Christmas was amazing! Life is hard and we all deal with things in our own way - don't be hard on yourself. You will find tons of support…

I'm going to go over by several hundred calories today - but not going to sweat it........also, I will not weigh myself for a few days until all the salt is out of my system......lol. I will not blow it with one day of celebratory eating and neither will you.......have a WONDERFUL Christmas and enjoy that dessert!!!!

HoneyBaked ham, turkey, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, corn, dinner rolls, wine, pumpkin pie, cheese cake.......the list is endless.....lol. I have a house full of family and I love to cook! Today I will just "eat, drink & be merry" - I never have my family all in one house so this is very…

I agree with this lady. I thought you might be older - but at your age these symptoms deserve a visit to your gyn. I will say at your age I did have a couple of periods like you are describing......hope you have a wonderful Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Donna

I need a little more info to offer advice. How old are you? How uch were you weighing when you atrated MFP and where is your weight now. Have you changed your eating patterns a lot - if you are not getting enough magnesium that may contribute to your cramping situation.

I've never been able to watch The Wizard Of Oz........when it came on I would always hide in my room......even as an adult I feel myself getting tense when I hear the music and/or dialogue from the movie.
