I'd like to support you guys in your goals!
I started in April 2015 at 218 lbs.
I reached 136 lbs in April 2016, and have maintained my weight for 2 months and counting.
(5 foot 9.5 inches tall.)
My tips?

Log everything. Weigh calorie-dense foods.
Be brutally honest with yourself and your logging.
Don't wait around for motivation. Just do it!
You might as well keep trying because the time will pass anyway.

Hello dear fellow onderlanders and a great big HELLO and welcome to everyone who is new! Today is my weigh in day, I am down 2.7 this week putting me that much closer to onderland! I am definitely happy with that. My exercise game was strong this week. I only do walking on the trails by my house but I did about 3 miles five times this week. How about you? How is your week going? Also, do you have any little reward you are going to do when you get to onederland? For me, I am going to the thrift store and buying a few new outfits. Thrift store, because I hope they will be too big in the few months after onederland
Have a great weekend everyone!
On to onederland, 17.1.
You are doing brilliantly! Well done for starting this thread and sticking to your goals.3 -

A lot of hard work! lol did a workout 6 days this week, as well as walking 2 hours every day. I haven't cheated on my diet, which is probably the hardest part. Been making healthier choices. I have learnt that it's much more a lifestyle change than anything else.1 -

Good plan!
Sticking to your set calorie limit is necessary throughout your life, so it's silly if we think one day of deprivation is going to fix everything.
Slow and steady and eating what you love in moderation will achieve your goals for sure!2 -

I agree soooo much! I literally cannot live a life without ever having tacos or pizza or brownies with ice cream! And I know that a "diet" that doesnt include those sort of things some times (and in correct portions) is not something I can stick to!2 -
Hello all! Happy Friday to everyone. Today is my weigh in day. I am excited, as it is my biggest drop in a week. I lost 3.3! Exercised 6 days this week. Had a mini binge on wednesday. Felt out of control but logged it all. Ended up using my exercise calories, which I never do and was proud to realize I only went over calories by 6. Thought it would be much worse than that, but it just motivated me even more the next day. Cannot wait to get to onederland because I won't allow myself to try on my bathing suit til then. My townhouse community has a pool and I can't wait to use it, even if for the last month of the season. How about you? How was everyone's week?6

OH, almost forgot!

I have been eating too much salt and a few too many carbs this week. Because of this I am up a little due to water retention. I know my calorie counts have been reasonable overall. Starting tomorrow (because I am having tater tots tonight with dinner, lol) I am going to be more careful with my salt and carb intake. I am going to shoot to keep my net carbs under 60g for a few days and see how I feel with a sodium level of no more than 1800. I feel like this is reasonable and should help me get things 'flushed out' without resorting to anything really restrictive.
As of today I'm at 202.4lbs so 2.6lbs to Onederland!!5 -

Wow, that's a big drop! Congrats!
You might need to reconsider not eating your exercise calories back.
I ate back 50-75% of mine, and lost 80 lbs in 12 months.
If I hadn't had those extra calories, I would have been too "hangry" to keep up with my MFP plan, and never made it to my goal.1 -
Does anyone else find the weekends the hardest to stick to their goals? I have to focus extra hard to stop myself from mindless snacking. Any tips?0

They can be, if you let them. Meal planning and food prep helps a lot. Most days, I have my breakfast planned the night before. While I eat that, I plan out the rest of my food for the day in a way that makes sure I hit my macros and gets my vitamins, fibre, iron needs, etc. I find it simpler if I have a plan for what I'll eat. Most importantly, I still have treats when I want to, I just make sure they fit into my daily calorie count while getting all the good stuff in. Not surprisingly, the more healthier foods I eat, and the more progress I make (down 37 pounds in 102 days and 14lbs away from Onederland), the less I want to eat the junk and treats.
You can do this, and planning it out helps. There are not a lot of calories in veggies, so mindlessly snack on those 5 -
Here's to a week of staying on track and eating more fruits and veggies!
10.9 pounds to Onderland!
