December 2010 - 283 lbs.... current 220 and still losing!!

Started at 283 and am now at 232! Feel free to add!

Try small gradual things as opposed to doing it all at once. For example for the first week or two try to go without chips and a small amount of exercise every day so that you can get into a pattern... THen add in other things.. You can do this!

Start by figuring out why the binge eating - - what is your trigger? If you know the trigger than it can be better to figure out how to stop/recognize when a potential binge spell is coming on... Definitely been in your shoes and I am by no means free and clear of it, but recognizing it is a good first step... Also when…

I went through the same thing recently going off of an anti-depressant - - my first advice is make sure that your doctor is telling you exactly how to ween off the medication... depending on how long you were on the medication, it can be really unpleasant. My other recommendations for this is to make sure you are working…

It always seems like I cant notice the weight I have lost either... I am 45 pounds down and I get people noticing as well, but it is hard to see where I have come from... BUT HOW DO YOU FEEL?? That's when I really started noticing is when I felt better... remember how good you feel and things you could barely do, or didnt…

Im in - Theresa (Arlington, VA) CW - 243 GW - 225 by October 1st I dont hate salad, but I am definitely in agreement that I am a foodie... I will work out more so that I can eat something a little higher in calories. I love to cook and find new recipes that I can make easily at home. (and also to figure out what to eat…

I have a similar situation with my mom in that she can never really see how well I am doing in the progress, and she never acknowledges the fact that I am going well and will go the opposite way and tell me about something wrong that I am doing. Part of me just really wants her approval which I think is natural because she…

Sometimes I feel it is more emotional than physical - Getting to the point of not emotionally eating but trying to figure out why. Also finding that every ounce of energy that you put into yourself is worth it. That is the thing that has been most transforming for me... feeling worth all the work that I am putting in.

a league of their own in my pants:)

Absolutely not alone... it has been a habit of mine for years and I just recently started finding my triggers. For me a big part is being alone... I also have depression which doesnt help, and the only thing I can do is when I start eating, rethink of whether I am hungry or not. Then I try to drink a glass of water first…

Dont weigh yourself multiple times in a day - - whatever time you weigh yourself, weigh yourself at the same time every day that you do your check-in. I used to so this and I vary a bunch throughout the day based on what food and drink I have throughout the day - - I believe that the morning is typically your lowest weight…

If you like sausage and bacon then do turkey sausage and turkey bacon - same flavor with less calories... I also like the Thomas whole wheat english muffins with a little peanut butter - good for carbs and protein. and to echo everyone else, yogurt with fruit is good too.

My drink is vodka soda with a lemon and a lime - - You get the citrus from the fruit and the bubbles from the soda water(0 cal), and vodka is lower calorie (60 cals in a shot). Stay away from dark liquors - - they tend to have more sugar.
