20 pounds down!!!!

rockinmomto3

Before I started MFP, I was down from 228 to 220. But in the last month, I've lost an additioinal 12 lbs. So I'm down 20 WHOLE POUNDS!!! I'm eating a lot less (I was eating well over 2000 calories per day), I have WAY more self control, and if I don't work out, I feel like crap. I may not work out at the same time every day, but I do it every day! That's been the biggest change for me. I've never had much self control, but it feels SO good. I have ice cream once a week, and that's it. I don't eat chocolate anymore (I used to eat it every day), I've totally come down on my sugar intake, and my salt. And I'm just dropping weight like there's no tomorrow! I'm down a size and a half (I was having a TOUGH time fitting into my size 18 jeans), and I'm now comfortably wearing my 16s straight out of the dryer! Even my XL yoga pants are too big. I bought size large workout sweats for the first time two weeks ago, and they fit GREAT. I am just SO proud of myself!!

Wooohoooo!! That is great! Keep up the good work!! Don't know that I could completely give up chocolate though!

You know, I didn't even try to give it up. I stopped buying junk at the store, then buying it from 7-11 slowed down, and now it's totally stopped. It's been more of an evolution than just quitting!

Wooohoooo!! That is great! Keep up the good work!! Don't know that I could completely give up chocolate though!

Excellent - you are on a great roll! I hear you about the exercise - Calories in - Calories out! It's never changed - so why did we think it would :-)

Your story sounds alot like mine! Can't say weight is falling off me, but I think Im doing well! You have done GREAT! The chocolate is hard, I don't eat it hardly anymore either. If I start I can't stop so I just dont start...
