Kim-might be the time of day and the day of the week. My weight fluctuates a lot during the week. Sometimes water weight can add 5-8 lbs!

My fitness Pal is a great website! It will help keep you accountable for calories. Find time for a good workout program with a combination of strength training and cardio. Remember it will not come off as fast as it came on, unfortunately. You can do this! Good luck!

It of course would have been better to use your calories in a healthier way like fruits and vegtables, but an occasional indulgence doesn't hurt. Remember different calories are metabolized differently.. Fat calories complex carbs vs whole grain carbs, etc. Keep up the good work! Good luck!

Surgery is not a quick fix--it is serious…

Drink lots of water, not diet sodas, eat 3 meals a day plus snacks-lots of veggies, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, Put everything you eat and drink into the food log. It will help you be accountable. I recommend a good exercise plan-a personal trainer at a gym if that is available to you works well for me. Remember…

The journey is so worth the effort. Don't do it for anyone but yourself because your are worth it. Do it for good health! Don't deprive yourself, make concious good choices, plan your meals and snacks and take some of the stress out of it. Don't go for fad diets. Eat fresh whole foods, lots of veggies, fruits, lean…

Sarah-sounds like stress might be a factor. Your husband being gone a lot, moving, not knowing anyone. I agree, add some friends from this sight. We are all in the same boat here!!! Eat fresh foods whenever possible-vegtables and fruits-whatever is available locally and fish and lean meat-mostly chicken and turkey if you…
