I'm learning that for me it's not about motivation or willpower, if I start a day with just willpower I'll likely fail. For me it comes down to habits. I think it is easy for me to bargain with myself and allow a bad food choice and then it's a domino effect from there, a day, a week, a month of bad choices and bargaining…

Dieting: I was always of normal weight and active as a child and teen. I decided that I needed to lose weight when I was about 15, only I had no idea how to do that. So that started a bad habit of starving and binging. Soon the binging started happening more frequently and when I graduated from school I went from being…

I started working out in Feb 5 days a weeks like you are. The first 2-3 weeks I was pissed because I only lost one pound, and I was being so careful with my diet. One of my friends who exercises a lot suggested it was probably water retention. I took a few days off and drank tons of water and lost a significant amount of…

Thanks for saying this! I am terrified of the weight area at the gym because everyone over there always looks like they know exactly what they are doing and it is only men. I am just beginning and it is so hard to ignore that part of my brain that is telling me I look stupid. I did some research before I began but still…

My story is similar, in the binging habits. Started young and got worse when I went to college. I also gained 60 after my first year of college and getting married the same year. I eventually got 100 pounds heavier, two kids and a few years later. I'm down about half of the 100 that I gained. And one of my main goals even…

I would definitely say better now! Great job quitting smoking and not gaining it all back.

Same as many above. Cheat day turns in to a weekend then month. Seem to do better when I don't diet to extremes. Like when I mess up on a day I can end up eating way too much that day and the its hard to start back the next. I do well consistently when I change my habits of eating rather than I'm on a diet today but not…

I've been using MFP for a while but I'm new to the forum and friends thing. I'd be glad to have you as a friend or anyone else that wants to add me. I started out about where you are and started using MFP when I was about 25lbs down. Since then I've lost about 22 more but I'm at the point that I always get to then gain 20…

This my first post ever and I've used MFP for years. But I cannot tell you all of the times I've felt the exact same way. I seem to always get to the same point and then stall and gain it back. Which is where I'm at right now. I want so badly to get past this halfway point and lose the last 25 pounds. I've gained and lost…
