My Accomplishment (pics)

You look great how tall are you ? that is the same goal I want to be at how did you get there?

- stayed within calorie goals
- exercised (having a workout buddy helped motivate me)
- reduced stress as much as possible (stress is what tends to trigger cravings for me)
- willpower - most important one of all

You look amazing!!!

I am so impressed!!

Did you eat around 1350 calories throughout your entire journey
or is this what you eat now to maintain?

Thanks
I actually started at 1200 because that's what MFP set me at, but after about a month I found it was too little for me. 1350 worked much better. I'll be eating more than 1350 to maintain, I'm not sure what that number is yet though and will have to get it figured out

Thank you everyone!!

Michshellars: I'm 5'6"... would be funny if you were too!

I'm 5'6" and started at 164! 130 is my final goal as well. Crazy. I've been plateaued around 138-142 for 6-8 months now, but mostly because I took the summer off from counting, just tried to keep my meals within what seemed reasonable.

Did you have any trouble with the last 10 lbs? Any tips to get through it?


BTW, looks great on you! Congrats!

That's so funny, you must be the identical twin sister I never had!

Weight loss did slow down this last month, but I kept logging faithfully and tried to up my exercise a bit. I never thought logging would help so much but it really does! Maintaining self control is a big one. I keep little to no junk food around the house, and only buy it when I'm planning it into my daily cals. Aside from having MFP friends, having some real life friends who'll support you in your weight loss can be a huge help in keeping you accountable!

Thanks everyone
