  • Your metabolism has probably slowed down because you've pushed your body into starvation mode with that diet. I'd add 100 daily calories a week until you get up to maintenance. Stay there a couple of months and let your metabolism recover. Then when you go back to losing, zig-zag your calories above, below and at your…
  • Yes, I always do. The estimates are probably inaccurate unless I'm eating at a chain restaurant (Chili's, Olive Garden, etc.) but I count everything. Although it does hurt to see I've scarfed down 3500+ calories in food and alcohol sometimes! LOL
  • Finally getting to where I was when I thought I was fat (13 lbs less than I am now). It's been a long road, and I've already lost over 40 lbs in the past 4-5 years, but I have yo-yo'd each time a few pounds back and forth (lose 10, gain 6, lose 10 again etc.).

  • Not watching what I ate...it gets me every time! More restaurant food and less home cooked food. Eating and not journalling so I could keep track. "I don't care today" pig out days which were meant to be only one day that turned into a week or two in a row. Because home-cooked, preplanned, thoughtful meals are what take…
