Diets & Weight Maintenance Support Group

Sometimes we need to tweak our healthy routines and take charge of moving forward even farther.  If something isn't working, we can change it.  It's great to get new ideas when we need a refresher for our routines.  We have the power to be our own leader.  The healthy lifestyle is an ongoing learning process where we change up or add new ideas as we go.  So, be a trendsetter, a leader, and...

I could use some advice on what others do to prevent emotional eating!  I'm going through I tough time right now and turn to food and sugary drinks to cope... Please help with your advice!  Anyone else do this?  

Hi All - Does anyone have advice for avoiding or turning down unhealthy foods offered at public events, family gatherings, office breakrooms, etc.? For example, every Friday, my office has a free breakfast available to the staff and it's usually unhealthy (e.g. doughnuts, bagels, bear claws, etc.). Every week, I tell myself I'm going to avoid it, but I always eat from it. Is there any advice on...

Just this year I have gained 20lbs. Due to highschool stress, working at a Dinnin resturant and life itself. My eating habits are out of control. I've tried to start slow, decreasing my food portions, and avoiding sweets. But the moment I cave in on sweets everything fails. I eat till I am stuffed. I feel so guilty because I know I can resist the sweets. I say this because 2 years ago I quit...

I'm struggling staying motivated.  With diet and exercise.  I'm always tired due to my insulin resistance.  My roommates have junk food everywhere.  I did good last year with diet due to insulin resistance and I couldn't anymore.  It got harder and harder to eat meat and vegetables.  I couldn't have root vegetables, carbs like bread rice and pasta, no sweets/sugar, and no fruit.  Granted...

Hi All, I'm new and excited about this support group and getting in shape for the summer! It's a lot harder for me to lose weight in my mid-50s than when I was younger. Decided to try some new supplements today and will see what the outcome is. I have an issue with eating at night while watching tv. I just like to have something to snack on! I also like afternoon snacks, especially chocolate....

I just joined this site for help with weight loss and other reasons.  I started out at about 300 lbs and last year had lost 60 of it.  I have since gained it back and now wish to give it another go and try to keep it off this time.  All I really do is workout a couple of days a week and limit my calorie intake.  Is there anything else I should do or watch as I plan my diet?  Any advice would...

I'm looking forward to...
