Congratulations on your success! I know that bloated feeling, mind you I am finding I don't need to eat as much before getting full now. At first I seemed to be constantly opening the fridge and cupboards just to have a look LOL. I was hungry at first, but that eased after a few days. I noticed it c...

I have taken sometimes to be read as in moderation, something I have always tending to do at weekends anyhow. Having special treats lined up means I can usually control any urge to binge during the day. My bingeing used to occur weekday evenings, controlling this has been my salvation. I was always ...

Re: Did anybody see the Discovery Health Channel Obesity Sho

3) They stated that obese people need to eat little calories to maintain their large size. If they gain they have to eat a lot of calories, but to maintain they don't have to eat that much. I think it was something like 2,500 calories for a 200 pound person to maintain. This seems wrong. And you ha...

A reasonable amount of food, without bingeing and snacking. I could have ate more, but I am glad I didn't as I feel better for it. Sometimes I have felt so bloated, this time was just right, enough food without feeling force fed.

Or how about,

"Even if you can afford a gym, why not use the stairs".

I am on the 11th floor at work and walk up and down at least twice a day.

I'm a daily weigher as I like to monitor my weight daly in a spreadsheet.

My daily variation is + or -2 pounds over 6 weeks and there does not seem to much reason the variations. The gains and loses do not seem to bear much relation to the food consumption the previous day or the amount of exercise.

I had the evening permasnack problem. Sweets were not really a problem. I like them, but they were usually in moderation at the weekend. I would say to myself just one will be OK but, I could never just stop at one though, once I got the first taste I couldn't stop myself having more and more until ...
