Today I’m down 20lbs!

LukesGreenMilk

Wooo! I’ve been using MFP, exercising, meal prepping, and drinking a gallon of water a day for 3 months and I’ve now lost 20 lbs! 20 to go and I know I can do it!
I’ve been mostly eating Deep South and Caribbean foods and it all is okay thanks to CICO!
Always looking out for like minded friends.

Thank ya! I wake up at 6am, go to sleep around 10pm, so with 16 waking hours, I try to remember to drink a glass every hour. 16 glasses of water = 1 gallon. And if I forget or get busy for an extra hour or two, I have to down an extra glass or two to make up for it the next time I drink, no skipping! It really goes a long way to helping me feel full.

Great job! Calories in Calories out is pretty great, isn't it? I'm down 47 pounds - but have about the same to go. Congratulations.

Congratulations to you both. It's a tough road, but you're killing it, way to go. I feel at home in this thread, as my situation is kinda similar in that when I had ballooned to 221 pounds past March, I knew I had to make some drastic changes. I've upped the exercise regimen, adhering to a healthier diet, drinking more water (and less craft beer) and I'm now over halfway towards my goal of losing 25 pounds. Keep up the good work everybody.

Awesome job! I also gave up wine 🍷, which was a big help!

That's so awesome! Congrats! I also have about the last 20 pounds to lose too. Caribbean food is so Delicious so I am inspired! I was also impressed about the gallon of water every day for the last 3 months. I have trouble getting down the required amount for my weight which is only 62 oz of water (since the minimum needed is half your weight in ounces, as I weigh 123.4 lb).
