Hi there. Decided just now that I had to start recording my food intake and exercise so that I can lose this weight I have gained back. Between 2009 and 2010, I lost 65 pounds doing low -carb and LOTS of exercise. Since then I have gained it ALL back. In the last two years alone I have gained 25lbs. I am a teacher with…

OMG! 60 lbs lost. That is amazing! Kudos to you for coming this far. I agree with some of the other posts; you should look to set a reasonable goal for the remaining time you have until the wedding. Even if you don't lose another pound, your family won't be able to help but look at you and see what a great job you are…

Jessica, your posts are inspirational! You are doing a fantastic job! I think everyone who has issues with weight knows how it feels to have that urge to binge once and a while.

You could also try planning an…

I'm with you Jacquelyn! People who don't have weight issues don't understand. 200lbs was my "point of no return" mark. I've noticed that over the years I just keep allowing that point to get higher and higher. Like you, about four years ago I lost 60 lbs. I had let myself get to about 230 lbs and I decided "no more"! So, I…

Don't give up! We all struggle. 1200 calories is very hard, but it can be done. I know people on here have different views about cutting carbs, but more protein and fewer carbs will help you to feel satisfied longer. I Love, Love, LOVE carbs, but after I go on carb restriction for about a week I find it's super-easy to say…

Cutting carbs is a great way to lose weight! I certainly understand the challenge of cutting foods you love, especially foods high in carbohydrates. HOWEVER, I think it is worth it. I have lost mega weight on low-carb diets (65 LBS in the past). It has taken 5 years and a baby, but I have slowly let myself sink back into…
