I'm in the same boat too - although haven't lost so I'm here if you want to "friend" me for support. I'll do all I can to help you through this! I was looking at some old family photos this week and it reminded me of how active my grandparents were naturally and where they focused. It is a different time and we emphasize…

How long ago did you have your kids? I don't want to sound trite but post-pardom can be real. I don't know if the twins were your first but maybe the shift in focusing on kids, over you, is also challenging. I know I suffer the same and have not had success completely in overcoming it...but maybe just some food for thought?

I know you have a million replies, but maybe one from someone who struggles too is helpful in an empathetic way. I've been struggling to lose weight literally for 10 years now. I gained it suddenly and ever since I can't find the "formula". I know it is 4 basics: food, activity, H2O and mental spirit. I get like 50% there.…

Thank you so much....I"m already feeling better knowing that I'm not the only one who has weight gain like this...

I know I'm the anomoly but because I travel and do not have access to a frig I buy them for both lunch and dinner exclusively during the week. I have extremely high blood pressure and am "salt sensitive" so I mapped out how much sodium they have first, and then wrapped low sodium alternatives around it. In 3 weeks I've…

Thank you so much everyone!!! Awesome ideas! I love AngelDei that you broke it down like that - I do project management and that is how I started eating right. I planned it all out. I also love the idea of doing it with someone even just once a week - thanks Miriai - I am about to walk down to a co-worker and see if I can…

I would tell them : "I won't be soon if you do not support me...those comments do not help." Just my reaction....

Try Special K bars or Greek Yogurt (fat free). Both are great in balancing carbs and protein and would fit. I love the strawberry meal replacement bars from Special K....yum! Use them as a snack so I get 5 meals a day in without thinking about it...for me at my calories it works great. Hope this helps!

Add me too - I'm 329.5 - my high was 345 about 6 years ago. I was 333 a week ago so I'm making headway! Goal is 200 (or less if I think it makes sense!)

I've tried things like Slim "Slow" we called it in the past. I really is not a great way to get off the weight because you learn so little about how to really eat in the "real" world. Slim Fast shake here and there as a meal replacement might be okay say if you are traveling and can't get to a real meal, but trust me -…

I have a new doctor and he had a great idea. I tend to use food as a "reward". A good day - wahoo - eat. Bad day - sigh - eat. He asked me what my favorite guilty pleasure was - for me mac & cheese. He said after an entirely good week - plan to have a mac & cheese dinner on Saturday night. Eventually replace the "reward"…
