Diet Breaks
In a different thread someone recommended I take a diet break. I have been doing some research on it but am looking for more input. Have you ever been on a diet break? If so, for how long, how much did you gain during that break, and how long did it take you to get that weight back off? Thanks in advance!

Keep Working On It or Stop
August 2012 I was 5'4" and weighed 271.2 pounds. I now weigh 123 pounds and would like to lose 3 more pounds. My family and friends are on my back about wanting to lose 3 more. Originally I wanted to lose 8-13 more but am trying to compromise with them and settled on 3. No one ever said a word to me about my weight or…

Donating Blood
I am planning on donating blood tomorrow. How long should I wait to weigh in order to make sure that I am not seeing weight loss that is solely the result of my donation?

Increasing Calorie Intake...Now or Wait
I can't figure out/decide when I should increase my calorie intake. I am 5'2.5" tall and weigh 124.5 pounds. My goal weight is 110. I have been eating 1200 calories for several months. My weight loss has slowed and I am thinking I might need to try increasing my calories to 1300. I plan on eating any and everything I want…

Almost to my second goal! Help setting a third.

Calming Friends
I have truly incredible friends but they are on my case now and I can't seem to calm them down. I have lost about 110 pounds since July. Obviously that loss has been a result of a change of eating habits and working out. They don't see me workout because let's face it that is just not a pretty sight and I am still way…

NSV
I went shopping today and found that I could no longer shop at my favorite store. It was a plus size store(Lane Bryant) and those clothes are now too big for me. It was bittersweet. I really loved their clothes and now I have to figure out other places to shop.

Staying Motivated Alone

I was 271.2 lbs when I started (July) and am at 213 lbs now and I can't see the difference and nobody else has mentioned it…
