And tell us whether any of that stuff you are eating, taste better than being thin feels?

I've been biting my tongue about this, but I can't hold it in any longer. I hate that expression with the passion of a thousand fiery nuns! Maybe a million nuns.

That's because every time I join a diet program, the people in it and the leaders say that. And then half the people drop out before they make goal and the rest gain their weight back.

The truth is that food not only tastes great, it fills emotional needs. So in the short run, it often tastes better than being thin (an abstract concept that is far in the future for many) feels.

My own motto is: I can do anything for 1 day.

Or sometimes it's I can do anything for 2 hours or even 1 hour because that's all the willpower I have at that particular moment.

I plan to use this motto a lot during the liquid and mushy stages. :)

Nothing tastes as good as success feels and every pound lost is a success. I try not to enable my addictive personality. :glare:

Slimmy is that enough weight to be considered a gain? Does your weight ever fluctuate?

1 kg after a 62 pound loss is hardly anything to get stressed about. There are so many variables, and unless you have consumed (or not burned) in excess of 7500 calories in that week it is highly unlikely to be weight in the form of body fat. You need an excess of approx 3,500 calories to gain 1 pound of body fat.

If you ate terribly today or all week whatever at least you realize it... get to the gym and back on a healthy diet. YOU CAN DO IT (as evidenced by your weight loss so far!)

After reading your comments realise 1lb not that much weight, was eating between 1000 to 1200, but 3 days this week 900 and the rest between 1200 to 1400. i didnt do any walking this week as heavy rain, normally walk 30 to 45 min a day. no excuse i should have used my treadmill inside. I have 32 -34 pounds to get to goal.Will keep at it not going to be a gonna, am going to be a doer.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
