Just starting back (again) today
So I knew I was gaining weight and really slacking on what I ate, not to mention the occasional total binge eating - but I had no idea I had gained THIS much. Last night I weighed myself for the first time in months and almost died! It was a choice between going to bed to cry or eat a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's. I went to…

FitBit question
Does anyone who has a FitBit Flex notice that it seems to be reporting more steps than before? I wear mine on my non-dominant hand, and have it set up that way, but it seems to report more than I am actually doing.

Coffee and wine!
So I have come to a place where I have decided that every day, I will have a cup of coffee with REAL sugar and REAL cream in it. I may just have 2! Also, I am having a glass (or maybe 2!) of wine with dinner. Again, every day or nearly every day. Yes, I am budgeting the calories for these into my day. I really have no idea…

Or would…

I am sure it is just not picking it up because it's not as much step-based like walking, running, etc. Should I just log the belly…

Starting Over (again)
After being gone a few months, I realized I had gained back some of the weight I had lost - almost 10 lbs.! Plus quite a few inches. My clothes are tighter, and I am back to some of the old ones before I lost the weight. I need to start tracking again, not just to lose weight, but to get healthy. Oddly, this wasn't…

Hi everyone!
I'm new here again, just started last week. I'm 42, mom of 3, and trying to be happier and happier when I look in the mirror again. I'm 5'1", and right now 171 lbs. (started at 180). I'm on b-12/phentermine and seem to be stalled already :( The first week I lost 9 lbs! This week so far is only 1 lb., but I think I was not…
