So cool!!

@Sunny_Bunny_ ......I totally agree! I went to a brunch buffet today, and wasn't tempted at all. I ate bacon, eggs, sausage and prime rib. My friends tried to get me to give in for one day, but it wasn't worth it. Even the French toast couldn't break me!!

I see the difference!! And I totally agree about taking pictures.Comparing photos is wjat kept me motivated in the beginning of this journey. I couldn't tell by looking in the mirror.

I wore a sleeveless top today without feeling self conscious about my arms!!

Good for you!!! It's a good feeling when you can't fit your clothes because they're too BIG instead of too small!!!

I'm 5" 10, and according to the BMI chart normal weight for me should be 159-175lbs. That is nowhere near my goal weight!! I want to be healthy, not skinny!! I guess I'll settle for the over weight range....

@breenymarie ....thanks, that's what I've been doing recently, increasing weights/reps, hopefully it will help.

Such amazing results!! Keep up the good work!!

It can be so frustrating!! I kept feeling I needed to change something to get the scales moving again, even though I was following my diet to a T.

I use large portobello mushroom caps, cut off the stem. Cover inside with tomato sauce.( 1/4 cup is 3 carbs) but I only used half that amount. Top with 1/4 cup mozerella cheese, then pepperoni or what ever topping you prefer and bake until the cheese is melted.

One pair of my "small" jeans now fit baggy!!

My high for the past week was definately breaking out of a plateau. I was stuck at the same weight for 7 weeks, gaining and loosing the same few pounds. Finally my persistence worked, and Thursday I saw the scale move. I think hose few pounds meant more to me than when I dropped big numbers in the beginning of my weight…

I lost 10,794 iphone 5's!!!

Finally breaking through a 7 week plateau!!!

Wow! I've e never heard of this, but I have experienced something similar. I tilt my head too so it can go away, the feeling to me feels like I'm hearing under water, and need to tilt my to let the water out...but of course there's no water there, it happens on and off.

Wow Dan!!!! Congrats! I'm so happy for you, this is such an achievement!! You worked hard, stuck with it and it definitely paid off!! I'm still stuck in this plateau, making changes to my diet and exercise hoping for a change. I can't wait to get to 100lbs lost. You should definitely celebrate, you deserve it!!

Congrats!! You look great!

My caloric goal is 1970, pretty close to 2000. I follow my appetite though, sometime I'm a little over, sometimes a little under...

What is your current exercise level/ program? I exercise around 4 times a week usually around an hour doing different cardio and strength training exercises. What are the specifics of your challenge this week/month? To get in a 5 th day each week, and switch things up a little. I really want to try this boot camp class.…

Was able to buy scrub tops in a large, xl pants fit, but felt more comfortable in a 2X, no 1X available, a lil too big, but better than too small..... BIG DEAL, I had to special order 4X's in the past....felt like it wasn't really my body, like who's body is this

Feel free to add me and check out my diary. I spice it up every now and then.

I think I'll join this one, I love trying new recipes and working out, this is perfect for me.

Good question, I have a long way until I reach goal, but whenever someone compliments me on my loss, I always say, "But I still have a way s to go", or " But look at this loose skin". I don't know what what the deal was is.....

I do 20 net carbs, thinking about counting total carbs soon.....

@auntstephie321 .....that's the same one I saw....I pinned it too! Lol....

Motivating!!!

@CoinOperatedKitten ...I saw a recipe on Pinterest where they were made into taco shells, looked really good, but haven't tried them yet....

@Dragonwolf ........ I've been going back and forth debating if I can give up artificial sweeteners in my coffee. Before low carb I was a lil coffee with my cream and sugar type person, so I've come along way using 2 packs a cup. I had the same issue way before I began using Artificial sweeteners, so I doubt that's the…

Good news/bad news.....good news I had an interview...NSV, last time I went to an interview I was 88+ pounds more, so today all my interview clothes looked ridiculous!! I didn't even think about that when I scheduled the interview. Bad news, I decided not to go due to having nothing to wear:(

@Raynne413 ...same thing happens to me, takes about a week to get rid of, and I have to avoid the scale during that time so I don't become discouraged. @Dragonwolf.....I wish there was a fix, but my legs and ankles have retained water since high school, it's part hereditary/part lifestyle.......maybe even venous…
