Thanks! EXACTLY what has been happening with me!!! I was getting disheartened too. I always thought "plateau"'s were usually at the last few pounds. I lost 18# in the first 8 weeks, now the last 3 weeks NOTHING! I have been craving more high cal foods and sweets. I figured I wasn't exercising enough or the right kind. This…

WOW!!! :noway: I must say I am a SLACKER!!! I only work out 3X/week, sometimes a good walk one other day. I guess I'm lucky I lost any weight at all! I don't enjoy it in the least, dread going, but do feel better after. That is just me ~ :ohwell:

Boy, do i hear you! How easy it is to lose and hard to get it back! The longer I avoid whatever it is the harder it is to re-start. I have to ask myself to I want to go back to the beginning and have to start ALL over again and lose any ground i've gained or just start doing it again.

Empire apple with PB Raw unsalted almonds (I LOVE SALTY STUFF, but these are OK w/o salt) Wasa hearty crispbread with Laughing Cow Cheese Carrot, celery & red pepper strips with Lemon Hummus or any Trader Joes Quartet Hummus flavor Organic blue corn tortilla chips with salsa (fresh is best but like Goya Pico De Gallo)

I'm there! Well actually I'm here......:flowerforyou:

Bump for later!!! Love ginger dressings!!!

I'm just testing my signature here..:flowerforyou:

<<<<<<<CLAP>>>>>>> <<<<<<<CLAP>>>>>>> <<<<<<<CLAP>>>>>>> <<<<<<<CLAP>>>>>>> <<<<<<<CLAP>>>>>>> P.S. Its a standing ovation..:laugh: Congrats! I'm jealous...just finished my W1D3 though!

Don't be so hard on your self! I was totally amazed (horrified) how much I was eating when I started tracking it and by then I WAS watching what I was eating..so I can only imagine how much it all added up to when I wasn't tracking and just eating whatever I felt like. It isn't easy, but I'm hoping it pays off if I do what…

Oh, I was sooo glad to find this thread..(well not "glad" - but knowing i'm not the only one :smile: helps!) I have waited a month to measure and was hoping I would see some results..I did lose weight but of course want INSTANT gratification (thin in a month..:laugh: ...and found my waist 2" TWO!! BIGGER! I am so bummed…

Definitely addictive! But maybe while I'm browsing post & topics I'm not snackin :wink:

WOW!!!! That's all I can say! Well, great job! Enjoy your "new" body!

FUNNY :noway: thing just happened to me while here reading this topic...a MC DONALD's ad was floating around in the side bar for 2 filet of fish sandwiches for maybe $2..talk about temptation...I don't even like filet of fish but started thinking about those fries and some burgers....BAAAAD...:ohwell:

Hello all. Can I join too? How do i join a "group"?? I REALLY need some motivation!! Today was W1D1 for me. I couldn't run every time I was supposed to but tried to at least run part of it. Once I just walked, did the last 60 second run..whew. Does anyone else feel this way starting? I've been on MFP for almost almost a…

not "way"...LOL.... WEIGH

Hi Dolly! I'm Michele and I know EXACTLY how you feel! I don't know how many 25kg is but I'm guessing around 50 lbs. I have avoided a scale for almost a year until a dr. visit and when the BIG weight had to leave the 150 area (we go 50 lbs increments) I was totally horrified! In shock. :noway: Knew my pants and all clothes…

:flowerforyou: I know. Isn't it weird how some times you feel full and others hungry? I haven't really found a pattern with foods\types that work for me to eliminate hunger & cravings.

I love it! Wonder if I should start wearing a belt...naaahhh. :wink:

Once a week. This way I only have to be disappointed once a week.. (It's been a whole 2 weeks now..lol) :laugh:

Me too!! And I'm at a time in my life where i get it every 3 weeks usually :ohwell: boo-hoo. I am RAVENOUS and nothing seems to fill me up. Yes, I too try to eat healthier snacks/meals, but nothing satiates me. I would love to know the solution to this also.

Hello, I am new here too. I'm about 5'6" maybe and a 1/2". I'm 51 and the heaviest I've ever been in my whole life. I would be happy to be back to 170 but would love to see 150 or 140. I can't wrap my head around losing that much weight. It is hard to do the older you get. I love seeing pics of women/people as they lose. I…
