What is CICO?

I was wondering the same

motivatedmartha

@Sassyk35 CICO = Calories In Calories Out. Short cut was of saying that to lose weight you have to consume more calories than you burn - the basic premise behind all weight loss processes. Basic CICO means that you calorie count and eat within a calorie deficit.

Well done on a fantastic loss so far. To motivate you onwards for your last 20lbs try and focus on what you have achieved and the benefits you have already experienced and remind yourself that you need to keep on doing what you have been for the last 7 months to gain even more benefit. Sometimes our mind takes longer to see ourselves as we are now - use a tape measure and or photos to remind yourself that you are no longer the figure you were when you started. At 40lbs lost the difference is probably marked!
My final push is also for August as that will be my ruby wedding anniversary! I am at my last 7 - 10lbs and am using this time to really prepare for maintenance. I am honing my strategies so that I am able to sustain good habits and aren't tempted to return to my old eating habits as soon as I hit target. My approach I think will be to eat this way routinely but allowing myself a bit more of a free rein when out and about/socialising. Here's hoping for a fair wind behind us and much success at maintenance when we get there.

ETA @Lipstick_n_lunges Congratulations - fantastic job! I meant to put that at the beginning - sorry. You are inspirational - wishing you all the best for the future X

So many inspiring photos! Thank you for starting this thread. Several of you ladies had the body I have currently and it makes me look forward to what I can achieve if I stick to what I'm doing today.

Hey ladies! I’ve seen a couple threads on this topic but they all seem fairly old! So I wanted to start a new thread where us ladies can share our before and afters & a piece of advice for others on their own journey! ♥️♥️♥️

Great idea :0)!! I'm in. Just that I am only at the "before" stage. :0)

Don’t do anything to lose the weight that you won’t want to continue doing after you lose it! BALANCE IS 🔑 👌🏼

Love it 😀

Very real and very inspiring women for me to embark on my journey of weight loss. My head is in a better space right now. With that said, there may be a failure looming around the corner for me. What I do know that every choice I take will affect my success in mass loss or rather excess mass loss, as my supportive husband would say

MegansMom2011

These are all so inspiring! Keep it up everyone!

194lbs to 156lbs - still a work in progress.

I’m so going to need a tuck as well. Lots of loose skin. Looks like you’ve already planned yours. Can you please pm about it? 🤗 great job you totally deserve it!

scribblemoma

Ah thanks you guys for answering the CICO question! I was out of town and wasn’t checking MFP But yes I just make sure the calories I eat are fewer than the calories I burn...and that’s all! I don’t particularly care where my carbs/fat/protein fall but 99% of the time they fall in a natural 40/30/30 ratio just from making decent choices. But food timing, eating “clean”, and other similar fads aren’t part of my routine!

Ugh you ladies look amazing!! You can see the health and happiness and it's super motivational. Awesome, awesome work!!!
