Could it be a mind game? Meaning since you don't have a record of what you've eaten your mind is messing with you that you are still hungry?

I flew Delta once or twice a year between '09 and '12 at that height and weight and never had to buy a second seat. I didn't require an extender either. I agree with the comment above that the folks next to me probably didn't like me but I got an aisle seat and did my best to stay in my space. I just flew again for the…

Gum and hot tea are my 'desk job' weapons of choice.

I totally understand wanting to lose 2/week. But as you move forward remember that success at 1/week that you keep doing is better in the long run that a short sprint of 2/week that you burn out of and quit. 1200/day can be a grind and can be hard to sustain. 1700/day is a breeze:) Good luck!

I would focus on being active in your daily activities rather than formal exercise, for now. It's a short season (pumping) and for now it is your priority. Walking is your friend and baby friendly too. Stroller or carrier. Your choice.

My losses come infrequently. It's a tough mental battle to hold steady waiting for the "real" feedback from the scale. But they do add up, over 60 pounds gone so far and there is no reason to ever look back. Great post. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing! I'm trying to decide whether to buy these anymore and this helps.

The weight is the accurate one. Cups are approximate and you've just described why!

Lentil salad. Lentils plus crunchy veggies you like (celery, onion, carrots) dressed with lemon juice and olive oil. Lots of protein and fiber. Yummy too. No frig needed.

Love your story. Awesome job!

Daily chocolate that also meets my protein needs is my way to "have my cake and eat it too". Zone bar or other high protein bar that's yummy and "hits" chocolate and protein buttons. Win win in my book. Over the past 18 months the bar I choose has changed but the strategy stays the same.

If I were you I'd turn this thinking around. Hopefully you've got about 45 more years to enjoy that 'much lighter' self. There really is no end to what you're doing if that is your goal!
