Conflicting Plateau Advice...Help Please!
Hi! I need some clarification on a plateau. First some background. I am 47, 5' 4 158 lbs. and 26% body fat.

Any Loss is a Loss, right?
W1 WI I'm down 2 lbs. Honestly I'm a little disappointed but at least it's a loss. I did lose 6 lbs last week so maybe my body was resisting this week.

Fess'n up.
I joined this group for advice, help & mostly for accountability since I am doing it alone. Well I feel the need to be accountable to you. I broke the alcohol rule last night. A friend (one of the ones I asked to join me on this plan but refused) invited me to dinner last night. She wanted to go out for wings. Wings! Are…

Laugh of the day Jo vs. The Scale
So....the Hubs locked the scale away for me. I appreciate him being supportive of me in that regard. Well yesterday I had a Dr. Appointment & on the way there I thought "if they weigh me I will look away or close my eyes" because I was determined to stick to the one week rule. I get to my appointment and they didn't weigh…

Making Some Adjustments
Only day 2 for me but I feel great. Of course I did that 6 day fat burn thing last week and it was more strict so this feels like week 2 for me...haha. I just wanted to say (in case any of you view my food diary which you are of course welcome to) that I am making some minor adjustments for me. First, I know my body and…

Hello I need motivated friends!
Hi. I am not a newbie but I fall on and off the food logging/accountability wagon. I am presently on a mission to shed from 15-25 lbs. and have recently added running (a term I use loosely) to my plan. My problem is this, I have several friends who could stand to lose some weight/get healthy and say they want to. But every…
