Result: I have regained about 70 pounds from my lowest. This is WITHOUT candy or desserts, visible carbs, or soda. I'm still down about 150 pounds and with those items above I'm sure I'd weigh a lot more. I was probably too low at my ... Read more

So, I'm eating and eating and eating. I'm genuinely feeling hungry (look I know it's head hunger) but I'm antsy and shaky if I can't get food. I'm not even exaggerating--I'm eating probably ten meals a day. I've regained 24 pounds since my... Read more
By all accounts

By all accounts I am dong great. I've been maintaining since Thanksgiving. I bounce around a five pound range but I guess my body does that? Honestly, I'd still like to get to a lower number permanently and so yesterday when the scale undeservea... Read more

Flat tire
Thursday, June 09, 2016      4 comments
