  • Thanks, everyone. I really don't know if the caffeine is the problem, because I haven't tracked it before. I usually get caffeine free diet coke. I don't drink coffee, but I do drink 2-3 cups of orange pekoe tea a day. If I go to the store and they don't have caffeine free diet coke, I just get regular, so my intake of…
  • Me too on the "here we go again." I became overweight in my late 20s, and 30 years later, I started my healthy eating plan again TODAY, quite possibly for the thousandth time. Will this time be different? People say you must believe it WILL, but how can I think so after failing so many times ?
  • I have never, ever thought to calculate the calories in a binge. I don't want to to know. What I do know is that probably ten nights out of the last month, I have overeaten so much at night that I wake up during the nights with horrible heartburn, or to vomit. So gross.
  • Well, you must be doing something right! Good for you. At my age ( 49) I feel slow and steady is the way to go because I am very worried about being a mass of saggy skin. I am doing strength training and my MFP plan projects a loss of .9 pounds per week to minimize the risk of sagging skin. I eat 1500 cal/day and I am very…
  • My latest weight loss effort began 29 days ago and I have lost five pounds! I eat WHATEVER I want, up to 1500 calories, and then I stop. For example, if you really want a cheeseburger, Wendy's Junior Bacon cheeseburger is about 400 calories, which can totally fit into my plan. When I eat one, I feel I have had a decadent…
  • I had to Google this! I did not know it was a thing... It think it might just be how a woman is made; either you have it or you don't. You can't really control where fat comes off your body.
  • You look great. Much younger! Great work :)
  • The belief that I would fail.
  • OP, if you are hungry and find it hard to restrict calories currently, I think if you do enough physical activity to burn 1000 calories, you will probably feel famished! Let us know how it goes :)
  • So many stories that sound like mine! My triggers are: not enough sleep, being out in the sun for too long, neck pain caused by terrible posture, certain smells (especially AXE cologne) and often I get a headache after exercise. I'm currently trying to narrow down which types of exercise or what time of day I exercise is…
  • I am a 5'4", 210 lb woman. Until recently, I had always believed the magic number for weight loss is 1200 calories per day. Honestly, I am not sure where or when I got this information, but I know I have believed this since I was in my twenties (I am 49 now). I tried and failed to lose weight too many times to count,…
  • No one has said anything about me to my face, but the other day my boss said the our new employee is " huge...will have trouble walking from one end of the building to the other." The woman in question is considerably smaller than I am. It makes me wonder what she says about me behind my back. Also, an average weight…
