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…
