I'm going way over my calorie deflic regularly now. I can see there is an optical but can't figure for sure what. I have gotten really lax with planning out…

Worked hard to do well, but suddenly and slowly down hill
I have really lost my way....I had been doing very well (except for the weights). I've been very choosey on what goes in my mouth, barely any processed foods, was counting every thing and logging it in. I measured, weighed my proportions. Help! the last 20 days and today, I have gone way over my calories and protien has…

Been messing up straight for about 15 -20 days now

Tapering down....
I am trying to find where I go to change my activity level, I think that would my calorie intake. Also, I am at about 112lbs now, I had wanted to get down to 109, but now I am thinking I should start the process of tapering my calories to reach maintenance now. 109 might be too much. Not sure how the tapper thing works.…

Loss and thinning hair

Seriously screwed up
Started working, retail hours, I haven't worked in about 5years. My schedule is all blown away, and I feel really screwed up. I have been binging for 7 days now, I guess it's binging and I was so close to my goal of 109 at 112, pretty close. Well this week I'm sure I will be like 116. Just concerned of what damage I have…

Think I'm slipping, need to put a stop to it.
I started back to work after four years of not being able to. My schedule is different each day. I'm not used to being at work hardly at all. I'd rather be out there trying to make my way than to stay here and do nothing. Not a desk job like I'm used to. But a florist at a nearby Safeway, which means retail hours. I like…

Ready for final phase, i think
I'am finally at 112, my goal was 107, I will be very happy if I could just get to 109. And maintain. I'm finding a lot of loose skin and I'm afraid it could get worse, so it should be time to move on to the next phase is what I am thinking. (I am 49 yrs and 5 ft tall) Does the final phase still allow a defect to keep…

Kinda silly question, please humor me
We take measurement of the shoulders, and I do believe something happens to them as they are much wider than used to be before weight gain. But I don't understand how it can happen, I mean isn't that bones or frame. Am I missing something here? So curious since I've lost weight I feel it's really noticeable, and kinda…

Diaries
I have made posts, and received advise from many people regarding the food I eat or the calories. That's fine, criticism can be very helpful, as long as it's given kindly. I figure if my intake can be viewed why not go to others to see more what I should be doing. So how would I pull up someone else's diary information?…
