25 pound loss is getting you in the right direction -- HEALTHY!2

Congratulations on a great start! I just started again myself about a month ago and am down 14 pounds as of this morning. I love all the great feedback you are getting. It inspires me too! While I'd love to lose my 80+ pounds right away, every pound down is a victory and the end of 2021 is coming regardless of what I'm doing. If I stay focused, I can reasonably be down 25-30 pounds or I can sabotage myself once again and weigh the same or more. Keep going and let's make this our best year yet!!

The first battle is to get serious enough to do something. So you've won that battle. No go on and win the war!3

29 Pounds down. This is exciting.
My food log is not perfect but without extras. No more extra dressing. No more extra egg. No more extra sides. No more extra bread. No more extra cookies. No more extra gravy. No more extras of anything. One portion is all I can have. It's an adjustment. It's hard. I am used to overeating. I feel like starving but I am not.
And I am of the soda. This is huge.
Thank you all for routing for me. I will not let you down. I will not let me off the hook.

29 lbs!!! Yeehaw!! That is awesome, I trust you’re feeling positive and recognizing your accomplishment.0 -
Don’t worry about letting “us” down. YOU are what’s important and you are fighting for you!4

Wow, three pages of fantastic, inspiring, informative and supportive posts. This is a great page. All the best to you Waistbasket!4

Awesome news! Everyone is different but for me, getting off soda was what made the rest of my diet fall into place. Drinking too much sweet soda made me crave salty, greasy foods like French fries, which made me crave sweet foods, in an endless loop! So happy you are doing well.2

Dropping soda seems to be a key for me, too!1

You are doing so well! Keep up the good discipline. Discipline is important especially on those days that we don't really have motivation. Disciple just makes us do it.
I am friends with a woman on here that lost 100 lbs in a little more than a year. I became her friend on her first day and I have been so inspired by her journey. She has kept the weight off for a couple of years now. You can do this!2 -

Just wanted to share something that helped me. I notice you mention what you "can have". For me, it's helpful to say (to myself or anyone else) that this is what I'm "going to have" or "choose to eat." Or even that something is on or not on "my" eating plan. I'm putting all those words in quotes because it's important for me to emphasize to myself that it's me making the choice, not some diet imposed on me from outside. Just thought I'd throw that out there, in case it's useful.

Extremely awesome!!! One day at a time and you'll be there.1

Ditching that soda is a huge victory. People drink a lot of their calories unnecessarily. I have a friend who lost almost 50 pounds after simply dropping the beer and soda from his life! It sounds to me like you're doing all the things you need to do to be successful. Just keep it up and have patience and you will get there! Great job!0

@TheWaistBasket congrats on losing and being consistent!1

Yep! You are killin’ it, babe!0

You are doing very well and I know that you will continue on that path. I empathize with you. It is harder for women in their 50's to lose significant amounts of weight, but it is doable. I am in the same place as you are and neither one of us is going to give up. You will succeed. Please keep us posted.0

You could be 25 pounds heavier. Even one pound is a victory. Think of all of the people who don't even have the courage to start. Just never give up. Even if you do, jump right back on.1

You have taken the hardest and most important step. Identifying you have a problem and taking action to correct it. From here just keep disciplines, learning and adjusting until you reach your goals. I think if you apply yourself to the process you will reach your goals and it will have gone by quickly.1

I need to broaden my emoji experiences because you definitely deserve them!!
Please keep us updated and just maybe we can be those little voices on your shoulders to gently support you along the way!! Good luck!1 -
@TheWaistBasket
What a great thread - so much good discussion & encouragement! Best wishes to you on continued progress toward your goals and better health.
One thing that helps me when I'm feeling hungry a lot is to consider whether I've been keeping hydrated well enough, especially in terms of water. I more typically tend to realize I haven't after the fact...0
