Anyone else have a kryptonite weight?
:angry: I have some emotional issue about hitting 55 pounds lost. It is a half way to my first really big goal of 110 pounds lost, but I should be excited instead every time I get to 54 pounds lost I blow it and gain back like 9 pounds. I have been fighting this same battle since Christmas. Tomorrow I am banning my scale.…

NSV-Stairs
Today I walked up stairs without holding on to a hand rail and I did it like a normal person!!!!!!! When I had my twins in December of 2008 they popped my right hip out of socket so since then I have only been able to walk up stairs one at a time, using the rail extensively. This was a huge NSV for me. Thank you MFP!

Eating Late?
I have a question for everyone. I have noticed lately that if I eat a small evening meal (around 300 calories) and consume the majority of my calories in the morning and afternoon, I lose a lot of weight--sometimes as much as a pound a day. I am eating the same amount of calories, maybe a little less protien but other than…
