Sloppy Mommy to Fit Mommy - 40 lbs GONE - pics!

edited October 2024 in Success Stories
I lost 40 lbs with the help of MFP a while back (Sept. 2011 - May 2012). I was able to maintain that weight until October 2012. Then 9 lbs crept back on from October 2012 - December 2012. I thought I would post my success story to help motivate myself to get rid of those 9 lbs in the new year!


Here are my stats:

37 years old
5 feet 0

SW: 161.4 lbs (Sept. 2011)
GW: 121 lbs (attained / maintained in May 2012 - October 2012... see pics)
CW: 129 lbs


Me at 161. 4 lbs (Sept. 2011)

    I remember you! Partially because of your great results, and partially because of the picture of you with your son he has a Red Sox cap and you look like you are at a Portland Sea Dogs game. (I'm a NH girl) :happy: You got this! Good for you for tackling any weight creeping back before you even gain 10 lbs back!

    Very nice transformation! You are beautiful and what a gorgeous smile. You got that 9 lbs, go kick it in the butt. Better to catch it now than let it all creep back on. :smile:

    Congrats on an amazing transformation. Would you be willing to share your eating regimen?

    For me, it really is all about calories. I don't cut out carbs, fat or alcohol. Of course, eating 1200 calories/day doesn't leave a whole lot of room for lots of the bad stuff so the majority of what I eat can be found in the produce department, dairy and meat dept.

    A typical breakfast is raisin bran with skim milk and berries, black coffee
    Snack - 1 oz cheese and an apple, water
    lunch - garden salad with chicken with balsamic vinegar, a 35 cal yogurt, 2 clementine oranges, diet soda
    snack - almonds and grapes, water
    dinner - 5 oz salmon, 3 oz sweet potatoes, aperagus and turnip, a glass of red wine
    dessert - 100 cal fudge bar, tea
    snack - mini bag of popcorn, 100 cal beef jerkey

    With the help of MFP, Weight Watchers and the gym (cardio/weights 2-3 times per week).

    You look great- I have lost 60 pounds total some before MFP but last 40 with. I still have about another 60 to lose.Im sticking with it. You will lose that 9 again. The secret is that you jump on it when you only have 9 to lose. If you dont the 9 turns into 15--20--25--etc. Best of luck
