I am 44, lost about 70 lbs and have gained 30 back. I feel embarrassed to have lost control of it all. I hate the feeling of keeping to go up a size. ( life is as beautiful when it was the opposite) Any suggestions on getting Back on track? Has anyone one had success with re finding their way back to weight loss?

I certainly understand the struggle. I would love to find my motivation to lose weight again. I am 180 and I definitely felt better around 160-165. My best suggestion is to fall in love with exercise or a particular workout. Mine is Jillian Michaels, Beachbody's Insanity and Hammer and Chisel. You just need to find what works best for you. I wish my cravings didn't return with a vengeance and I wish I didn't SNACK so much because I feel that is the single most thing sabotaging EVERYTHING. But I have what I have to work with. Hang in there and have fun exploring different ways to motivate your body to move! :-)

I'm in the same boat... Trying to find my way back on the wagon. I'm interested in trying to reset my pouch to see if that helps.. lost 115 and have regained about 25. Hoping to find anyone who has tried the reset.

Wow, I have never heard of that before - reset? Sounds interesting!

Need help getting back on track as well. I started out awesome and I've only list 72 pounds in 9 months. I was going to the gym at least 3 times a week. One of my problems is that I commute to and from work over 140 miles a day. So it's so easy to make excuses on why I can't get to the gym. But one of the things I've noticed is that I'm ratting more than 4oz at a time. How do I reset my pouch. I've done so well that I need to think of me again. Any suggestions would be awesome.

Resetting your pouch is a fad diet and is not something that is recommended. Instead, you need to focus on the basics:

1. Eat dense protein first followed by non-starchy vegetables

2. Limit snacking

3. Don't drink your calories

4. Don't drink during meals (stop 30 mins before and 30-60 after)

5. Use an app like MyFitnessPal (or journal) to track everything you eat in a day to monitor total calories consumed

6. Make sure you're drinking at least 64 oz of water a day

7. Don't eat slider foods and if you're eating sweets, stop, go cold turkey so you can end the cravings; it may be difficult but stay the course and it'll get better

Good luck!

Change your mindset. Think of the challenges as opportunities to grow. Stay AWAY from foods that trigger you. Ultimately, it is the choices you make that keep you from achieving your goals. It is all about your MINDSET.

What is reset pouch? This is new to me!

It was something made up on the Internet to sell products/services. People falsely claim that going back to consuming liquids only for 5 days will shrink your pouch, which is medically impossible.
