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

    Posts: 103 Member
    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

      That's great!! How did you lose that weight in the first place?

      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
