Ht. 5'2", Start: 203 lb, Today: 168 lb, Goal: 125 lb - I want to be down to 165by September 20th but for some reason I have been stuck at 169 since the last week of july. Instead of going down it goes 169,170,171,172,169,173 it will go back down but I can't seem to get back on track. Since my vacation all I want is junk food. Like today I have a bagel with egg,cheese,bacon from mcdonalds with water, and a hashbrown. Then I didn't have anything for a while, then I had 2 hot dogs,ketchup and a small bag of chips, then my grandma cut up an caramal apple with no nuts. And I hate 4 pieces of that. at least I had apple though. but I keep snacking but's it's like an 100 cal Jell-o pudding sugar free, then I would have later on like some of those striped hard candies one or two with water. but I still ate over 1200 calories then I can't do exercise because of my cold. I don't understand why I still crave such horrible stuff. I can't get away from it.

Sugar is very very addictive. I know it's hard but you could try giving it up. I just finished my first week or absolutly no sugar and boy was it hard. Soooo many temptations at my house and at a birthday party I went to. BUT it is so worth it! I feel great and my body no longer rely's on sugar for daily function (like I don't get a craving for sugar) I still want it though :) But It's not worth having any if I got through a whole week!
