Glad you're feeling better! Back to school (work) today after our 2-week winter break...UUgh. I am so not ready. I have had an excellent week-other than Friday when I ate a Gelato but still ended up only 200 calories over my target-not bad considering I was on vacation. I have lost 6 lbs so far, but it is all weight that I had gained since October and there's more to go before I break even and get back to the point when I realized I had gained back 20 (not the 30 I originally gained back) lbs... I am trying not to focus on that, just on living healthy day by day. Today is the last day of my gym membership-I plan to renew it tonight for the year...I hope they still give a 3-month hold because we will be travelling to Germany and the US (home ) for the whole summer.

Hope you are feeling better soon

Congratulations on your 4 good days! I have also had 4 completely good days. Last night I was hungry after the gym so I made myself a spinach salad and invented this awesome dressing-1 tbsp. balsamic, 1 tsp olive oil, about 1/2 tsp dijon mustard and half a packet of Splenda. Yum. There were so many other things I could have chosen to eat, but I didn't. Yay me! It feels nice to be proud of ourselves rather than bashing ourselves, doesn't it?

Congratulations, changling! I have had 3 good days in a row (first time in a long time), so we are almost in the same place. I know you will have an awesome day 3 and I am planning to have another good day today. Salmon planned for lunch and my favorite class this evening at the gym! While most of you are probably sleeping, it's already 7:30 am here. I have eaten my breakfast of plain lowfat yougurt with strawberries and bran flakes. Coffee, of course, with sugar free Hazelnut Coffeemate-a real treat to find that in the supermarket over here-never mind that I paid the equivalent of $7 for 10 oz...they had French Vanilla flavor too. I have decided to set daily goals for myself-today it will be at least 40 oz of water. Yesterday it was no eating after 7-I ate an apple and cashew butter at 8 though-I'll try that again tomorrow. Have a great day everyone!

Hi Munsey and everyone. I was wondering if I could join your group. I will be 51 in June, 4 kids-the oldest is 23 and the youngest is 10, both boys, with 2 teenage daughters in between. AAGH! I am from NY but currently living overseas working as a Guidance Counselor in an American school. I have ALWAYS been overweight-obese and it doesn't help that I am only 5 feet tall. I reached my peak weight (215) after we moved overseas almost 16 years ago and have been up and down ever since. 2 years ago I lost 60 lbs (I have lost and gained 300 lbs plus durning my lifetime...) and I was down to 135. I have currently gained 30 back...I am finding it very hard to lose weight at this point, even with 4-5 times a week at the gym-I'm sure the problem is a combo between my yo-yo dieting and my slowing metabolism. I am an emotional eater as well, and there have been MANY good reasons to eat lately, if you know what I mean...Anyway, I am trying to get back on track and I feel that I need support from others in similar situations. Hoping for some feedback soon-thanks for listening

I really, REALLY like your suggestion about what to do when you are still feeling hungry (or think you do...)This is always when I run in to trouble. I am going to try looking at it as a requirement of what I MUST DO when I still feel like eating-this could really be a lifesaver. Thank you so much-I'll keep you posted.

I have an idea-let's try to think of things that weigh around ten pounds so we can put our weight loss in perspective... my laptop, for example

I do that, lanicita! I'm sure it's because we tend to judge ourselves much more harshly than we do others and tend to hold ourselves to some sort of higher standard. I try not to compare myself with others and just focus on my personal best with everything I do, but it's so hard sometimes and I get so impatient. With me, I keep gining and losing the same 5 pounds so I range from 10-15 more to go... Good Luck
