Hey everyone, I haven't posted any pics in the forums yet, I usually just post them to my weekly blog but thought that since I am just .8lbs away from the half way point I would share a recent comparison pic that I put together. I still need to lose 72lbs to reach my goal of weighing 150lbs but thought I would share anyways

I don't know if I can say I have any "lessons learned" but I just know what worked for me. I have always been told I can be pretty stubborn so giving up, falling off the wagon as such or not succeeding just simply isn't an option. This has allowed me to discover my will power is alot better then I expected. I just made the decision to stop eating crap (take out 4-5 days wk, chips, bars etc), stop eating late at night, & to include more fruit, veggies & fish in my diet. I stopped eating bread entirely until July when I now allowed myself one hamburger a week (found a great low cal tasty burger). We still have take out but its once a week, extremely strict on that & I don't have Mcds or something like that. I choose Swiss Chalet when possible as its lower sodium/calories then most options. Otherwise our meals are made up with fish or chicken. Its not about denying yourself 100% but its about portions & don't go overboard on the treats. I didn't allow myself to have a treat unless it was a special occasion (my recent vacay, my kids bday). I don't do weekly or monthly treat days, there is no need for me to do so. There is other things I am doing that works for me, any of you are welcome to add me as a friend. I am more then happy to support & motivate my friends as long as you log in daily so I can do so :-)0 -

Is this weight loss since you joined MFP? Or did you start losing weight before?
In other words ... how long has it taken you to lose the 72 pounds? :happy:0 -
