I've only just found this thread and I am already in love with it. Thank you to everyone who has been posting pictures!

This is fantastic advice that I should really take to heart. Thank you for it.

Um, isn't it taking responsibility by admitting that you have problems controlling yourself around some types of food? *scratches head*

I've heard that you have to be careful with drinking too much lemon juice because it actually can be harmful to your teeth.

Oh my gosh! That would be food logging heaven. (*)

Mine was pretty anti-climatic. I got sick and was bedridden for along while. Once I was well again, I was unable to fit into my clothes anymore.

I have IBS-C and my doctor told me that it is alright for me to take Docusate Sodium every day to help with it. It is over the counter so hopefully it will be helpful to you too. I am sure that since you have IBS that you probably already know this but for the others that have mentioned fiber. An interesting thing about…

I did too until this moment! Honestly, I used a measuring cup or my scale depending on how lazy I was that day when it came to measuring food in the past. Thanks for pointing out what a big difference it makes. I own a scale but I never really sat down and thought about it until you pointed it out and now I know better. :D

Great thread idea! I am looking forward to having a bigger wardrobe again. I don't have very much money so after I gained the weight I wasn't able to buy a lot of new clothes so as soon as I lose it and can fit into my old clothes again I'll have so many more choices. I am tired of having to wear the same thing every day…

I live in Canada as well and I wish you luck and love on your weight-loss journey.

1/15 Just for today I will log the food I eat and forgive myself for any slip up instead of just quitting again.

I hate logging with a fiery passion but every time I stop logging I end up gaining weight because it is just way to easy to lose track of what you are eating. So even though I hate logging I've come to peace with the fact that if I want to maintain my weight I gotta log. YMMV but that is how its ended up turning out for me.

Amazing job! Congrats!

You are an inspiration. Great work!

Simple answer: Yes. Complex answer: Health complications made me gain it back faster then I normally would of.

I know that is what I am here for.

I am super close to you! I am currently in Burlington, Ontario I used to live in Hamilton but now I am here. :)

Yes, I gained back.

Agreed.

My experience was the same. I figured that since I was so active that there was no point in counting calories anymore. Jinkies! I was sure wrong about that one. :/

Instant classic! :)

Yes, yes.....I know zombie thread brought back to life. Ooooooh, I am a horrid human being for bouncing it! How do I live with myself? Moving on. ;) I've been reading this book and would love to try the diet but jinkies with the cost of food these days it would completely break my budget. I adored her rant on 'the science…

Argue? Never! Would I call it a site that 'debates to the point of obnoxiousness'? Um.......wellllll

Congrats on your first gif! May they all be as wonderful as this one is. (This gif just brought a smile to my face on this grumpy morning.)

I must admit it kind of surprises me that people in these forums can stop arguing with each other long enough to go on a date. ;)

Count me in with everyone else in the 'starting over club'. I managed to keep the 30lbs I lost off for years but then I got sick and ended up gained it all back in less than a year. I find it harder this time knowing that I have already had success in the past to have the patience need for the slow grind that is needed to…

I am sorry I missed the challenge! It sounds like it would of been lots of fun.

That is exactly what I do....but while wiping a single tear from my eye as I walk away.
