Wow nice! How did you do it..i need help.. thinking of doing some h20 fasting and keto but not sure! Good job

Thanks!

To be honest, I've lost the weight in stages over a period of time. I lost the first 15 pounds primarily by changing my terrible lunch habits. I would eat out every day, usually pizza or grilled cheese and fries. I realized that needed to change.

I credit MFP with much of my success because logging was a real eye-opener for me. I had no idea how many calories I was eating on a daily basis. I am not the most consistent logger, but I know it works and I log enough to keep me on track. The more consistently I log, the better I do.

I also think that walking has been a big part of my success. It may not be the "best" calorie burner, but it's worked for me. I find it helps physically and mentally/emotionally.

Good luck on your journey! You can do this. 🌞

Hi lillymoo01,

What’s the exercise routine you follow?

I am limited because of physical injuries but I just started walking and increased time and speed as fitness improved. On top of that, I purchased resistance bands to do some strength training to help preserve some muscle mass.

5’1 SW 186 CW 174!! The portions of the world were not made for us petite women. Any advice is appreciated!!

Hey! I'm 4' 11 and have lost almost 60 lbs now. My starting weight was a whopping 209!! My current weight is 151.8 and my goal weight is at least, for now about 120, putting me in the higher end of a healthy bmi. I also LOVE to walk and have even started jogging (it's a work in progress, haha) but I also enjoy lots of other things, including yoga, step, swimming, strength, and even you tube videos! I know that a calorie deficit is the main factor in losing weight, and that exercise is really just for added health benefits, but I find working out really keeps me on track and keeps my appetite in check. I feel strong and confident and i cant say enough what it has done for stress and anxiety. I find that after working out, I have better discipline in my eating habits, I dont want all that hard work to go down the drain over some stupid calories, haha . I would also say that consistency has been a big factor in my weight loss so far, I have good days and bad days, I definitely agree with the poster above saying that their eating and exercise habits are like a roller coaster, but not giving up and keeping at it has really helped me go the distance. I just keep on keeping on....keep on logging, keep on weighing and measuring, keep on working out, keep on moving, keep on smiling 🙂 Dont give up!! You can do it!! I am winning my health and happiness back, and it has been absolutely worth it!!

5’1” and 167lbs here. Goal weight 135lbs. My highest weight was 176lbs a few years ago. I lost 15 pounds by measuring my rice and pasta portions to half a cup. That’s it. Since then instead of losing more my weight is creeping up again. So I’ve started measuring again and being more careful with how many calories I’m consuming. I’m going to weigh myself in a week or two and track my progress. Good luck ladies! Feel free to add me! I’m very inspired by some of your success stories.

I'm 4'9 and was 150lbs in January, now I'm at 136lbs by just managing my portions and working out regularly. I still have a ways to go (~15-25 lbs) but it's totally possible. The only advice I can give is don't lose hope, don't weigh yourself too often, stick to a schedule, and stick to your goals.

I'm similar, im 4"10 and about 160. I started my journey at 168 which was my heaviest, i got down to 148 but have now crept back to 160 mostly due to stress eating since I've been at home. My current goal is to get back to 148 - I've done it once so I must be able to do it again!
