So I'm far from a success story still but I need to celebrate this moment that's 20 years in the making. My highest was 280, 7 years ago. Today I hit 199.9. Next stop 150! Don't give up, even if it takes you years, progress is progress. Thanks for letting me share my joy! Edited because I originally shared some health…

TOM Water Retention
I know this has been asked about a lot but I'm really needing some reassurance. 12 or 13 days ago I had the sudden gain in weight overnight. Ten days ago I started my period. It lasted four days. Now, my weight is still at the same amount as it jumped to almost two weeks ago. My stomach is still extra squishy and my…

Looking for a meal planning app/site
I'm looking for a free/cheap app or site that I can add several weeks worth of meals and when those weeks are over, it will start at the beginning again, if that makes sense. I don't need to be able to do anything but enter the name of dish and a link to the site for things I use a recipe for. I've tried doing this with…

Protein Powder
I really need to find some protein powder to add to some recipes to help my husband gain weight. We live in Tunisia so what's available here is super limited (and super expensive), so we are looking to have some shipped here. My question is, is it all the same? Is there something we should be looking for to find what's…

Not a success story but....
This isn't really a "success" because I still have a long way to go but I'm so happy and I want to share my happiness with the world! I've finally got back to 220 lbs, which is the lowest weight I ever remember being as an adult. I just got started back, a bit over two weeks ago, after taking about a year and a half off…

Losing too fast/ Water weight
I've just started again after almost a year and a half break. I'm nursing so I set my goal to 1 lb a week (I just upped it to .5 lb a week last night). I do walk a lot but it's "casual" walking, not very fast so I don't log any of it. I know that since I'm just starting again that I'm gonna have water weight loss and I…

Breastfeeding and calorie counting help!
I just started counting calories again a few days ago. I have an (almost) four month old son who is breastfeeding. I'm eating at 1710 goal a day, that's set to 1lb a week loss. I am drinking a lot of water but I'm sure I could drink more. I have seen a drop in my supply. I'm wondering if I should increase to maintenance or…

How do you allot your calories?
Do you just eat what you want for each meal and then plan later in the day with what have left over? Or do you start each day with a certain amount for each meal/snack? I've always done the first but I'm starting to think that there may be a benefit to saying "I'm gonna eat xxx calories for breakfast, xxx calories for…

How to tell well meaning husband to back off!?
I'm not sure which forum to post this under so I hope this is the right place.... My husband means well. He really does.

I'm proud of myself…

Do changes start happening faster after a certain point?
I didn't know which thread to post this in so I hope this is a good choice. Also, while I am sure this has been covered, I did spend some time searching (here and on Google) and didn't find what I was looking for. Most likely that was because I didn't know what to type into the search and I just kept getting results about…

How to celebrate mini goals?
I feel like I have so much to celebrate right now. I have just got over the 20 pound loss mark as of weigh in this morning. I tried on some pants today while at the store, just to see where I am because I usually wear bottoms that stretch so it's hard to tell what size I am, and I am officially back into 18's. I am back…

Substitute for oil in cooking
Hi everyone. I have done a few searches and have not really found anything that answers my question so I thought I would just ask. I am looking for an oil substitute for cooking, not baking as I use unsweetened applesauce for that with great success. For example I have a chickpea recipe that I love that calls for 1 cup of…
