So I started my journey at 230lbs a few years ago. I got down to 170. And I'm back up to 200. And I feel more like crap about myself than I did when I started. Something about knowing where you've been and what you're capable of and the disappointment of not staying on track. I have a million reasons for why I started to…

Exhausted

Thank you for your reply. I've been on my journey for about 3 years now. At my lowest, I was down sixty. Right now I'm down 42 -_- so that comparison is stressful for me. The idea of going backwards is disappointing and especially when I struggle to get back on track. As much as I tell people to not freak out, every time…

no loose skin at 50 or 60 down

Recently diagnosed Bipolar II and now weight loss feels like a foreign language almost. Was down 60. Now hovering between 45-50 lost. I want to lose another 20lbs. Things now have to be based around what's best for my mental health (sleeping and resting when in hypomania, abstaining from caffeine) I love working out and I…

stairmaster will help you lose weight and help you keep the butt lifted and tone. I recommend that. And squat with weights every day. Sumo squats are my fave because it works inner thighs too.

Weight training is the only thing that has helped me tone my thighs. Went from big jiggles to muscles and a little jiggle in the middle. As I lost weight, my thighs never got any more toned, just smaller but still jiggly. Weights and resistance (think squats, stair master, dead lifts) made the difference.

Thanks for the feedback! I've lost between 50-60lbs so far without weighing but I'm thinking about going to weighing if I start having a hard time losing for any extensive length of time. I have about 20 or so to go. Meal prepping has been really helpful and that makes me think weighing might be the next logical…

I just shower and put the same work clothes back on after. No big thing.

I know, I've been at this for over a year now. I know it's a healthy rate of loss lol. I just hate that it takes so long. Just chipping away at it everyday anyway.

It's taken me 8 weeks to lose the last 10 pounds. So just about turtle speed lol. Or average "healthy loss" according to mfp. This week I dropped about two pounds with putting a heavier emphasis on calories in and calories out. Trying to hit a certain exercise calorie number and also capping my calorie intake. Drinking a…

i only do c25k 3 times a week. So if i do c25k, I'll do ten or 20 mins of hiit doing something else. The other days I just do hiit.

I also workout m-f for 40 mins to 90 mins. This is my sixth week of that. I'm doing couch to 5k and also hiit every day. weights, planks, push ups, mostly running and stairs, oh and a lot of boxing the heavy bag in hiit format 45 sec, 20 sec rest, usually 10 to 20 rounds. Also walking 2 miles on my lunch hour. All of this…

5'4' 25 yo sw: 230 cw: 190 gw: 155 most likely mini goal: 165

My calculated calories says I'm at maintenance at about 1960 or something like that. I try to eat at 1200 net. Last week I did about 1400 consistently on the food side, and then burned an additional 700 calories a day with exercise. So I'm shooting for 500 down with food (at least) and 700 with exercise. I do vary from day…

Thanks guys! I try to make sure I have protein at every sitting. I might start adding an extra scoop of protein to my shakes and maybe I'll add avocados to my snacks for tomorrow. I don't get much healthy fat. I'm always so hesitant to put any unplanned food in my mouth when I know I'm having post gym hunger. Don't want to…

I use a jawbone up bracelet that I love and it also tracks resting HR. What changes do you see that let you know if you're overtraining or getting sick? I'd love that insight.

@jdelaroy thank you for taking the time to say all of that. I won't give up. I've been at it for over a year now consistently. It's just hard right now because I've lost progress that I made due to a couple of short lived pregnancies and so emotionally, it's taxing and then I just feel like I felt when I started, which is…

Feeling so discouraged today. The scale keeps going up and down and I'm logging daily, drinking a gallon of water, sticking to my nutrition plan, exercising daily, and I am soooo frustrated.

My name is Jazmine. I lost 50lbs recently, and my initial goal was to lose 70. So I went from 230 to 180. Goal was 160. I realized I'd like to hit 75 to 80 down now. So my overall goal is about 150-155. I recently had two pregnancies that resulted in two miscarriages over the past 4 months. So now I am hovering between 192…
