Wow! What a wonderful way to start the day! 2 months of dedication, way to go!

Thanks so much!! I am 165 cm or a little under 5 foot 5 Thanks girl! I would say most of it was cutting out lots of extra sugar and not being afraid to eat more healthy fats and some protein, switching to healthier eating by cooking myself and avoiding packaged foods with lots of sodium/misc oils. Doing more exercise that…

We moved to an area with great hiking and our supermarket was a 20 minute up and downhill walk, I'd say this helped build some muscles for sure! I've tried a couple of kettlebell exercises which I really liked, but I haven't tried them consistently, the past 2 months I've been more focused on incline walks/runs on the…

I totally agree! I tend to stick with the elliptical on higher intensity and treadmill on incline if I'm at that gym, but the 2 or 3 months at the end of last year did a lot more walking and hiking. I've done a few kettlebell exercises that I really liked, but I'm looking to get more into it as I reach my goal weight, and…

thanks so much sweetie!! I really couldn't even remember until I found the old pictures with my old notes for calorie logging!

are you enjoying the weight lifting? I feel like I should add more calories if I want to get more into it, I get quite tired even just after kettlebells! Do you log it ?

Can't believe it either! Also am now singing "I'd like to lose it lose it" in my head 😂😂

No specific advice as I'm in my last 15-20 pounds to go as well, and I know it'll be a little less exciting, but remember, even if the scale is slowing down, you're still losing! I wish you lots of luck and motivation to power through when it gets tough!

That's amazing you want to join the air force! As most people here have already said, Couch to 5K is indeed awesome. It's really exciting to get started and you wanna go big, but I gave up and I stop/started until I took the time to do it properly. I really focused on running in a place that makes me happy: the early-ish…

So the past two days I've added 200 calories a day for standing all day at work, switched some to more complex carbs via a big pumpkin and lentil stew (yum!) altered my macros and focused on certain leafy greens for extra vitamins. Gotta say, this morning and yesterday I'm less tired and feeling good! I feel like I was…

dude, it's okay I've already said I'd up the calories.

That's very helpful thanks, I don't feel hungry or gripey, just an overall decline in energy, could definitely use more Vitamin D and sun in my life! I may try to add more foods that help in these levels. I am also going to try adjusting my levels of fat and protein (I used to do very well on paleo/primal eating, but it…

I always eat all my calories back! Not getting crazy here haha yeah I feel like if it's not something I can push through, I should probably just up my calories and see how it goes.

very true. Hadn't considered complex carbs! I'm little at 5 4 but I've been more focused on strength over pure dieting now more than I've been in the past and maybe my body just needs to go a bit slower, thanks for the insight!

end goal weight is 135. Funny, I'd never considered a pound and a half too much of a deficit, but at the rate I'm going maybe adding the calories back in would balance me out.

I should have mentioned more, I have multiple goal weights, this being my lowest weight I've experienced in my adult life. I'd like to continue to lose 10 to 15 pounds in the future. I wasn't expecting to reach my first GW until early March at the MFP rates of 1.5 lbs a week.

hahahaha, UGH I BETTER STOP THAT, THEN.

looking amazing everyone! super motivating!! :D

i always love nights where i know i'll be shaking my booty! occasionally really concentrating on my abs to get that extra workout :D it is a bit frustrating to miss working out on a day when you particularly felt the need for a little push, hope it went well!!

i'm hoping to totally avoid doing this more than once a week for the next couple weeks, i have a few girlfriends who are very aware of eating clean and offer lots of different options for their dinner guests, but then i have friends who schedule dinner reservations at restaurants that strictly serve mac n cheese? haha oh…

i gave up alcohol this month too! it was after a big birthday weekend (ahem, week...) so it was a good time near end of november to let all that booze work its way out of my system :) keep it going! grabbing a soda and lime in a tall glass when going out tonight, nobody will know anyway :D

mm i really like the party and booze factor, i'll just try to stay away from super irritating foods like grains and really processed stuff FINGERS CROSSED!

that's great! i'm new too, would love more friendly faces on my newsfeed, helps me stay on point!

i feel that though, been about 6 full months since i've STUCK to my plans. a bit of cayenne pepper in a smoothie or glass of warm water and lemon will do the trick though :)
