I will be following your progress . . .stick with it . .I agree with Chris, don't have crappy food in the house & then you can't eat it (my weakness too)= :). Plus when stress hits even going for a quick 10 minute walk takes away the munchies! best of Luck! Sabra

Ralph, I too use the button hole test on ALL my pairs of pre-baby pants. I refuse to buy bigger pants so I have 'til this fall to fit into them. I am down 45 pounds with 10 to go, my mantra is, "Being skinny feels better than chocolate tastes." I have learned that I can't have crappy food in the house or I will eat it, stress eating on powerfoods isn't too bad for the waistline. Good Luck, Rachel

Hey you! Get your fanny up in the morning and get to the gym or on Barr Trail! I know you can do it - I have witnessed it with my very own eyes! WE are the team that won the biggest loser contest at the Y! You know what you need to do. Make it happen!

Go Ralph! Losing weight is hard, and you are doing it!! As a serious athlete, I have to really watch my stress eating, too. It can be discouraging to see the affects poor eating chooses have on our bodies. But the good news is every day is a new one. I am excited to follow your journey to a healthier you. :)

Ralph,
Your courage is inspiring. Lots of people have offered advice: so I'll make mine short and sweet. My favorite trick is to drink 12 ounces of water or sparkling water or herbal tea, and wait five minutes--before each and every snack or meal. Turns out we are more often-than-not actually thirsty, when we think we are hungry. Good luck!

Keep up the hard work! If you have to eat out of the realm of your diet just remember, fat isn't the enemy sugar is. Good luck, stay dedicated, and keep up the hard work! You'll love your results. Thanks for sharing your story!

Ralph, take comfort in the fact that most people have the same weakness. Then out yourself first, and see if you can find something else of comfort that you like to do besides eating. Reward yourself with something other than food each time that you succeed, but don't beat yourself up when you don't. There is always a new day.... Your honesty is refreshing, and you WILL achieve your goals. Hang in there. Respectfully yours ~ Tracey

Ralph, I have been reading your postings and I respect your honesty. I too can relate to stress and I used to do other activities that was not beneficial to my health. I hope you continue your journey and keep us informed how well you are doing.

Ralph - Hang in there! I make it a point to not weigh myself more than once a week. In fact, I haven't weighed myself in about a month. Great idea with the button hole test - I think that's a much better indicator than a scale, anyway. We're rooting for you!
