I'm officially out of the "dub chub club"!!

Options
I started my journey February 1, 2015 and since then have lost 24.2 pounds! Starting weight was 224, and this morning I'm officially 199.8! I still have 50 pounds to lose until I reach my goal weight but cheers to small victories! Hope everyone keeps up their good work, I'll be right there with ya!!

PSA: I lovingly and very jokingly called my being over 200lbs the "dub chub club" so please don't take offense to the name!

    Thank you all! I've been eating clean, drinking a ton of water through out the day and work out 3-4 times at the gym! Plus I chase around my 11 month old son all day too so that has to count for some cardio!

    I'm so happy for you. I have 18 lbs to go to say the same and feeling a little discouraged lately as to wondering can I really do this?? Can counting calories really get me there? Yes, please share more about what you are doing. Congrats to you.

    And as for suggestions I would have to say:

    1. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Water is your bestfriend.
    2. Don't skip meals! I have three meals a day with 1-2 snacks in between.
    3. I cut out pretty much all dairy products excluding the occasional plain greek yogurt for breakfast/snack.
    4. Exercise! Get your body moving.
    5. My favorite foods, that I contribute a lot to my weight loss has been, hard boiled eggs, avocado, and sweet potatos, chicken, and I've been hooked on making bison burgers and topping them with homemade guacamole! (No bun of course lol)

    So welcome to a new club! It's called "Onederland" for those somewhere in the 100s.
