I do a lot of walking and try to keep my calories around 1200/day. I also drink a ton of water.

Congrats on your weight loss!! You look great! Did you lose 10 pounds a month? I'm just curious because I have been doing everything as you did drinking ton of water, walking for excercise, and watching portions.

Thanks so much, @sabkhan32!

The first few months I lost quite a bit. When you dramatically change your habits, the weight comes off easier. After the holidays I struggled a lot and thought I plateaued. Looking back, I'm still losing, just not as rapidly as before. I weight myself daily, so I have a record of every month and my progress. lol There was a LOT of fluctuation in Jan/Feb.

Changing how you look at food helps tremendously. My two-question approach has saved my butt a lot during some difficult times:

Before you indulge in something that's not the healthiest ask yourself these two things:
1. Have I had it before? (If yes, I don't need it right now. If no, go to question 2.)
2. Can I get it again? (If yes, I don't need it right now while I'm reaching my goal - I'll get it again another time. If no, have it in moderation. If it's super special like an Iron Chef prepared 10-course meal, eat it all! lol)

I really like this. I have up chocolate, sugar and sweets 1.5 years ago. I still miss it. And sometimes I think I can fit it in my calories. But I know it's a trigger. It's easier to abstain than moderate. I figure it will be there when I lose 40 more lbs of I want it then. Same with a few other food favorites. When I identify a trigger food it's gotta go for a while.

Hope I'm okay to post, I may be half an inch too short at 5ft 5.5 & too tall for the short girls!
Love this thread though, everyone has worked so hard & looks amazing

Began last week of July 2017 & 61lbs down as of this morning...50 to go haha!

Changes are coming thick & fast just now. Began exercising at the same time as I joined MFP in August so my body looks a lot different than past weight loss attempts (though this is by far the most I've ever lost). Rate has slowed down a bit, but I don't mind at all - as long as it keeps going!
