I agree. Some people aren't as friendly as others but we must keep ourselves accountable of our own well being. It doesn't seem reasonable to blame someone (a complete stranger at that) for your near backslide.

A bald eagle and a rack of baby back ribs but I'm just getting started. ;-)

30.6 But as others have said, I look at it on a smaller scale.

I usually wake around 4:50 and get to the gym around 5:30. I try to prepare a hard boiled egg or set aside 1/2 a protein bar and water the night before for the drive there. My workouts are usually 1.5-2 hours. It's a personal preference but without eating something dense and protein rich, I'm often nauseous 30 minutes into…

I have a 3 year old and a soon to be 2 year old and my own full time job. Anytime I exercised after work I felt like I was missing out on family time (dinners, playing). I'd get home and it was time for bed. I joined a 24 hour gym close to my job and started going around 5am. It's been a week. So far, so good. It may be…

To not have to adjust my shirt upon sitting or standing to account for stomach roll pinches. To comfortably cross my legs again To make my ex jealous and uncomfortable X-D

Mm Late Night Dough with Jimmy Fallon. Om nom nom.

Yup. I had the blood work in September. :-/ A few years from now, I hope to be in a similar situation as that which you listed; healthy, and in "normal" range.

Aesthetic, health and comfort. Speaking from experience, it's much easier to move around carrying 150lbs on my frame rather than the 230+ lbs I'm currently carrying.

I weigh daily, first thing in the morning after bathroom, before shower and log it into a physical calendar. I find it keeps me accountable. I also keep my scale in a separate bathroom that I only use in the mornings for showers. Out of sight, out of mind. Any time I go out of my way to use that restroom, I weigh and get…

This, exactly. 4 lb gain. Merp

Bump. I've been dealing with this for about 3 weeks. Kids and I had pneumonias. They went on antibiotics and got well immediately (yay!) but I on the other hand am having a slooooooooooooooooooooooooow recovery. My energy is non-existent, I have chills all of the time which has confined me to staying indoors on top of the…

My mom lost 60 lbs in about 8 months in the late 90s eating at a reasonable deficit (not starving herself) and walking 6-8 miles a day. I've been walking 5-6 miles on average 5 times a week and eating at a calorie deficit (most days <.<), I've lost 14.8 lbs since October 6th.

I don't drink coffee and if I do, rare as that may be, I treat myself to a flavored creamer which I log. I measure and log the milk I do enjoy with my tea, cereal and protein shakes.

I'll actually spend a majority of the week creating a huge deficit by not eating back exercise calories as I usually do. I'll have an intense workout the evening before with a light workout the morning of (after all, I have to conserve my energy for black Friday shopping). Although I enjoy the usually suspects (stuffing,…

I leave the house dressed in sweats and sneakers, with a small packed bag with work attire and toiletries in tow. I drive to work an hour beforehand and do 6-7 laps power walking around my complex (955 steps per lap) before I hit the bathroom to freshen up and dress for work. Throughout the day I get two 15 minute breaks…

* Alli * Doctor prescribed Fastin (appetite suppressant) and strict 1200 calorie diet **I did lose 60 lbs over a few month span through continued diet and exercise (duh) but regained most of it over the course of a year after a bad car accident set me back * Doctor prescribed Fastin and strict low carb diet.

This is what happens with most non-sustainable crash diets. As soon as you return to eating solids, whether they're healthy or not, you will regain the weight and then some. I agree with the others. Begin eating at a calorie deficit, move more and be conscious of what you're putting into your body. Overtime you'll see the…

My question is why didn't you pre-plan? and then to want to further the damage with chocolates. It sounds like you've derailed. Although I agree with those above, it is just one day out of many, if you continue with the destructive pattern you're setting yourself up for failure.

This. I'm 211.8 right now. My highest non-pregnant weight was 225. I didn't realize how big that actually was on my 5'5+ frame until I seen myself in photos from my son's 1st birthday in early October. That's what initiated the change for me. Today is exactly a month since I began my weight loss journey and I'm down 13.2…

Yup.

Yes. This. I feel the exact same way. I used to be a constant grazer. I thought it was because I was hungry but it was more-so because I was bored or thought I should be eating because the clock told me so.

I personally don't eat after 7 because the bulk of my calories does come with dinner and going to sleep with a very full stomach often makes me nauseous. Other than that, I try to lay off the sodium in the evening as to avoid waking up bloated and puffy.

This. Also increasing your fiber and overall protein intake will assist as well.

*high-five*

I plan on cycling 10+ miles on my stationary bike the morning of. I don't think it'll cover all of the calories I may consume but it will definitely cover most. I don't plan on being conservative that day. It comes once a year and, for example, if I skip the pie, it's all I'll be able to think about for the entire week or…

*cough cough* BUMP *cough*

I have to admit, I do this sometimes too out of impatience. lol slightly obsessive.

I weigh myself daily when I wake-up, after using the restroom. If the scale went down I reflect on my weight loss accomplishments from the day prior. If it went up I review where I could have gone wrong. Is it bloat from that time of the month or did I eat a sodium rich meal late in the day? It helps keep me accountable…

What she said.
