Thank you, Anya, for bumping this thread. I too have put pounds back on and need to refocus.
I have been traveling this week and find it hard to worry about what I am eating and how much I am eating, especially when I have to consider others and their wishes. As a side note, I did sign up to walk a 5K in March so I will begin my training in January. I have always wanted to do a marathon so this is a good start.

A new determination.
I have decided that I need to buckle down and release this weight. I try not to say l-o-s-e weight because I believe words have power and I don't want my subconscious going "Lost? We lost something? Ok I'll fix that and add more." I am at the heaviest I have ever been after years of yo-yo-ing between 120 and 140. I am now 180,nearly 190 and feeling it. Most of this was put on during a very stressful time in my life. Now that I have a better outlook, I want to feel better too. According to the BMI chart I should be around 100lbs (i'm 5 ft tall). So i'm trying to think of accessible goals and ways of achieving them. My biggest thing is doing exercises that I actually will want to do at home. I love dancing, particularly belly dancing, so I'm looking for video instructionals I can do at home. I also used to do kung fu and ken-do. I'd be willing to do other types of work outs as well but my biggest thing is something that will keep me from being frustrated and bored. Does anyone have any suggestions for dvd's that I might be able to get my hands on?

Maybe time to resurrect this thread?!
Between getting back on the wagon with my meal plan and being sick last week I lost 8 pounds in 7 days. I had lost 151 pounds on my own over the last couple of years but had gained 20 pounds back over the last 5 months. Decided to button down last week and get back to what I know is good for me and the 8 pounds is feeling REALLY good off of my knees! Going back to a 99% meatless diet and back to my Fitbit steps! anyone else back on the wagon?

That's phenomenal progress, Medusa. The past two and a half months I've been working to bring down the number on the scale and, more recently, to keep an eye on my sugar intake. It's been slow-going but I'm down a little over 11 lbs. Hopefully, the slower it goes, the more likely it will stay off.

I'm hanging in there with my weight but would really love to lose about 30 pounds! Anyone on Fitbit regularly and up for step challenges?

My goal is 40lbs next year. One of my coworkers is willing to help me with meal planning and finding exercises that I can do. My knees are letting me know it's time to lose the weight again. I use the LoseIt App and it's easy to use!
I have been doing meal planning and this helps! Good luck to all of us! Zimmeh

I have gone off the deep end.
Since I moved here in January my entire regular diet is gone off the deep end. Why am I suddenly eating junk that I never ate in my life! |

I finally realized if I just give up the things I love and crave it sets me up to fail...
Instead, I have found healthy replacements for the foods I know I can't live without. For example: Ice cream. I started making my own version in my food processor. It starts with 3 frozen bananas and I add to it to make whatever flavor I want. For a salty snack, I got a whirly gig type popcorn popper. I use coconut oil in a minimal amount and use good sea salt. Im also going to add nutritional yeast on occasion for that yummy cheesy flavor. I've started reading labels and cutting back on sugar. But if I do eat something really "bad" I just have less of it. Now I don't feel deprived nor do I feel heaped with guilt when I do partake. Still no replacement for beer though. I've read that wine is better so maybe back to that. I only get to drink on my,nights off any how. ...

I concocted my own sweet snack to eat instead of cake, pie, etc. I use natural peanut butter (crunchy), 2 bananas, a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, and I crumble up one of those KIND pressed fruit bars (the coconut pineapple one), mix it all up in a bowl or I could use the food processor I guess? It's good and satisfies my sweet tooth. Not sure how fattening it is? But hey, it's gotta be better than eating other stuff I can think of!

Your snack does sound yummy. I found a good site that has most foods. I just put in the name, get what I am looking for (usually the total sugar and the carbs) and then add it up. I know there are lots of good sites people use. http://www.fooducate.com
