Going to lose 100lbs.

@theabsentmindednurse I agree with this so much I do have to add, daily your body put on and loses a few lbs due to water weight, eating etc, you are bound to put on weight but don't be disheartened, even if you were so good the whole week and resisted that craving don't think "Frack this, I'm going to drown my sorrows in a huge tub of ice cream" or "frack this fracking diet I'm so over it" just shake it off, have a little treat in moderation and get back on with it the next day, our bodies change so much throughout the weight loss, we gain muscles over long periods of time which is another reason weight gain may happen, its just a whole part of life, I have had those "frack this eating healthy shizz" due to not losing as much as I hoped or even putting on a lb or 2, it happens, the first time it happened I will admit I kinda ate my way through a tub of ice cream but I felt so guilty afterwards and I gained more due to it, now I just have a moment where I feel frustrated but I think about what I ate that week and if I ate more or exercised less than I usually do I take that into account and edit accordingly or if I didn't change anything I give it a few more weeks and then ask advice to see what I'm missing, I'm not going to lie sometimes it is hard but I would rather have days where I am frustrated about not being able to eat that junk food or take out and try and find other healthier alternatives to what I am craving as I would lose the weight and think in "such and such time" I will be "this much" lighter.... Sorry rambling yet again lets just say I have been craving potato waffles dripping in butter these last few days to the point of smelling it haha! but not giving in as I know I will suffer not just with guilt but I will most likely have a gallbladder attack again so looking into a way to satisfy that craving without suffering

Hi. Yes being vegetarian and married to a butcher ( yes it's true), I do the same. I am making seperate meals much of the time.
What I can suggest is make a big portion for yourself. I make a large stockpot of vegetable curry, red lentil and vegetable soup and vegetable bakes.
I freeze in single portions, then dinner is done.
It is a juggling act and the prep takes time, but the commitment is worth it and it does get easier.

We are all in the same boat so we can uplift each other when it all gets too much,
My curried cauliflower soup I made this morning

I have roughly 80-100 lbs to lose for a healthy BMI...I log daily & have a great group of motivational friends!!
I have prepared to b on here a long time for the maintenance part...the invitation is out there for anyone to add me!

By the time I'm at my goal I will have lost 120lbs+. I'm always happy to have more pals to keep me on track and you're most welcome to add me .

Hey all, how is everyone doing, I have lost another 2 lbs Yay! plus had a non scale victory, I went to a charity shop a few months back and purchased some clothes that were a size or 2 smaller than what I was then, they now either fit just right or are too baggy on me I do enjoy baggy clothes so its a win, I always lose slower from my bottom half but the PJs I purchased a while back the bottoms do now fit me, wishing you all the best

@nathanrchronister such an inspiring and motivational story, we all hit those invisible walls at times I have a few times and you just have to either take a day off then get back to it the next day or just punch through that wall and continue, I have had to take the occasional day off from exercise as it does help.
I was given an exercise bike a few years ago that I was using to dry clothes on haha! I dusted that off and started using it and its helped so much as I am very anxious, from 2012 - March this year I rarely left my home, now I leave and go for walks, I love the freedom of picking out my own dinner and what I am going to have in the week rather than leaving it all to my partner... the more weight that falls off me the less anxious I feel.
I also track my calorie intake and out take on google spreadsheets along with my daily fat intake and what weight my fitness pal says I will be in 5 weeks after finishing my diary for the day, I find it keeps me motivated
I agree with your ending too, thats what I often tell people, as all my adult life I just ate what I wanted and didn't exercise and tbh I am really lucky I didn't end up bigger than I actually was in January this year (308 lbs) turning 30 actually made me realise I needed to change.

Everyone please add me Im working on losing 100lbs also I recently started 5 days ago and I need friends for support!!!!

just found this thread and Wow, great job so far. I started losing last year, and stalled. overall target weight will be 110lbs lost. went from 355 to 314. then back up to 338. We just started Keto and it seems to be helping. I scaled in at 329 and 1.5 weeks ago, and today reading is 320.4. 75lbs left to go for target completion. Support is huge.

I've been here about 4 weeks and almost 20lbs done. Only 165lbs to go.
