After reaching goal 2 years ago and maintaining a short while I hit a period of stress , resulting in stress eating, you know comfort foods, cookies, candy , ice cream and you know the result.My new Wardrobe hangs in the closet and I am wearing sweats, the fat ladies friend.I have had enough!! I have been on many diets and they all work but I have found the best for me is old fashioned calorie counting. am planning meals at least one day ahead and logging every bite and I am back to exercising I had left that behind, too.

Welcome Bargo. Our starting weight, current and goal are all the same. A few others are exactly at the same point too. This seems to be a nice group of people and a helpful forum.

I welcome you. Have a healthy weekend.

Welcome, Bargoo! I'm not a calorie counter per se, but I sure understand weight gain during times of stress!

Sweats, the fat ladies' friend! HA HA

Welcome back, Bargoo!!! Planning, logging and exercising....ahh...the HOLY Trinity! You can do it!!

Thanks everybody for the welcome, I see those size 6 pants calling my name.I refuse to go buy larger sizes.I have lots of clothes tho they are meant for a smaller me.
