No weight loss since July, but lost a size?
I am frustrated that the scale won't move below 190. I can't say I've been a saint and met my caloric goal every day, but I'm eating WAY less than before the diet began. I've gained and lost the same five pounds since July, but in July I had to wear a 16W and now I can get into a 14 (no "W"), because I've been working out.…

Nobody gains six pounds over five days, do they?
I am so SICK of dieting, and working hard, just to gain six pounds since Sunday! I work out every day. I drink a lot of water. While I may be slightly above my calorie requirement sometimes, I'm not over by a ton. Perhaps 200 calories or so...which I know adds up, but over five days six pounds?! Does a person retain water…

No longer "morbidly" obese...Just obese!!!
Heya! I still have some weight to lose (I want to be a size 12 or 145, whichever comes first), and I thought I'd share a 50-pound drop. I began on January 1. On my first day at the YMCA, I actually fell off the stationary bike (there's a mental image you can do without) and the first day I got in the pool, I fell back in…

Not exactly discouraged...more like tired.
I've been dieting since Jan 1. I've lost about 48 pounds. This is good, and I'm happy. But I am also...just tired. I'm so sick of not being able to eat when I want to. I'm sick of wearing three or four things all the time because I don't want to spend money on a wardrobe that, hopefully, will be too big in six months. I'm…

Cookies Cookies Cookies....
I am making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies this afternoon for my kids. Well, it's very hard not to lick the bowl or have one when they're done, you know, just to make sure they're safe for the kids to eat...but I played with the recipe a bit to get rid of some of the calories. Instead of adding cooking oil, I added…

my daughter wanted to know...
First, I'm not a nut, though this post might have you wondering. My seven-year old daughter knows I'm dieting hard, and when we went to the grocery store today, she'd question, "how many calories is that?" with everything I put in the cart. Annoying, really. When we got home, I joked to her, "I'm glad we got groceries,…

Weight loss has stalled...
Hi. From January to early May I lost about 46 pounds. Now, since Mother's Day, I haven't lost a thing. I fluctuate between 199.8 and 200.8, but it seems like no matter what I do, the weight won't keep going down. I know that the closer to my goal weight I get, the losses will get slower, but it's frustrating! I am working…

Eat ALL the THINGS!
I have been dieting pretty well, occasionally going over my calorie limit, but not too often. I've been weighing food these past couple weeks and things have been okay. But today, I just couldn't stop myself. I had to eat ALL THE THINGS. I went to the grocery store and bought a Creme Egg and some of those Hershey eggs that…

Getting so frustrated with no weight loss!
Hi. I'm 5'6, 220. I started January 1st at 245 and want to lose 100 pounds total. Before this, I never exercised at all, but I made a commitment on New Year's to become more active and lose the weight. So I began in earnest: 2 days of low-impact aerobics (bad knees), 5 days of stationary bike (55 minutes each time), 2 days…
