Hanging in there.  Sure wish someone would make dinner tonight!  LOL

Welcome LeeAnn,

I also gained back 30 pounds! I am down 5 pounds since getting back on track. Wish I would have put an end before I let myself get to the 30 pounds, but I guess losing 30 is much easier than having to lose 50 or more! I also am back to drinking my water, but must admit I have not gotten to the 64oz. a day yet. But besides coffee each morning, water is the only thing I drink. Much better than soda which I had let myself go back too! I'm also trying to eat as few carbs as possible. I know for me personally, carbs make me crave sugar and more carbs. After having carbs out of my system for the past 3 weeks I feel MUCH better already :D I wish you and the rest of us the best of luck :D Post often as you can. It helps everyone.

Welcome LeeAnn. This is a great site for support and suggestions to help us in our journey. 

Hey Ruthie, 

Glad your here. I'm not good at giving advice; however, this is a great site/group to get back on track. Like you I've been trying to lose weight. First it was 5lbs,10lbs, then it jumped to 16lbs when I tried a weight loss program( wasn't sure if I could mention name but it's a national one). Enough of that! Now I'm just doing the basics as so many on here suggest. I lost two pds this week so the water thing does make a difference. I feel a lot less hungry too. 

You can do it. I have faith in you. Remember it will take a little time. It didn't come on overnight (although it feels like it). Your brain has already kicked in cause your here.

Take care,

Amie

please add some healthy fats -like 1/2 avocado - that may satisfy some cravings. Works for me. 

an idea: 

1 oz of pork rinds 

1/2 avocado with 1-2 tbs of salsa... mix all - eat that as a snack instead. 

pork rinds - have more proteins that cheese and less fat, and 1 oz of pork rings is a nice servings..
