<3 I'm comfortable in my body.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this thread!! I keep getting these comments, & I'm not even at goal yet... :neutral: lots of good comments on this! ty!

sustainability is a huge factor! or sold be at least, in my opinion! lol. thats wonderful if you feel like you WILL be able to sustain/maintain at that weight. one huge factor is I wold like for my life to stop being an on/off diet, lol. I want to get where I'd like to be, and still use map to track my calories to MAINTAIN…

hmm... tofu over veggies? mmm! thats a tasty favorite of mine. or you could get something quick & tasty from "Chipotle Mexican Grill", its also trackable! sorry, you question was kind of vague, so I'm just throwing out my favorite options... lol :smiley:

YES, we must of looked at the same chart... lol! everyone I have clicked on is slightly different, lol! I originally planned for 125 lbs, but I hear on here that maintaining is tough... you shld account for +/-5 lbs during the maintenance phase. I don't like that, so I lowered it to 120 lol. but after seeing all of your…

THIS is my issue!! lol! I dint enjoy exercising! like @ all... I have been taking up running, but I hate that overtime I go for a run, I have to come home & wash my hair :neutral: soo I usually just don't... lol! & sadly at the moment I dont have a dog, so I dint even get that exercise! lol! & you say your 5'3? 120 is…

omgg.... you guys seriously made me feel so much better!!! I'm glad I'm not being as absurd as everyone treats me... lol! I agree 100% w/ you here. I don't even tell people I'm on a diet anymore, bc they are like "why??? your already so small". having to explain & argue isn't worth my time, lol!

breakfast or lunch: thinkthin lean fiber & protein bars (150 cals, & yummy!!), special k protin bars (170 cals & yummy!),progresso "light" soups (120 cals per can, & decent tasting), cut watermelon chunks (very low cal, & filling!), tuna & cracker kits (cld be 300 cals.. but yummy!!)

my weight has been up & down lately.. when I'm good, my weight is nice & low... but I'm usually not "good" for very long, before I binge eat :neutral: so I my weight has been 8 lbs up, but since trying to recommit is going slow... fml. I decided to try on my size 6 jeans.. && they fit sooo well! somehow, lol!

aww, sorry to hear your back... :( but welcome! I cant tell you how many times I've gotten heavy, & gotten back to normal size... smh. lol

my "Alive" gummy vitamins for adults, & either a "Think Thin" Lean Fiber & Protein Bar (yummy!!, only 150 calories also!) or a packet of oat bran oatmeal w/ some pb2 and raisins (soo tasty!)

this was SUCH a good explanation of how to figure it out!! saving this, ty!! (:

hmmm.. I was playing around with mfp && it says when I reach goal 120 lbs I wld maintain @ 1590.... its not as high as I'd like.. but that's ok, the MORE I workout, the MORE I get to eat!

agreed!!!! THIS was amazinggg, I'm at the point where I have a bag of clothes that are too big; NEVER thought this wld be the case! gave some to my friends (:

I agree w/ many of the things you have all noticed... Its crazy to think about... lol we were so USED to walking around w/ all of our extra weight :open_mouth:

my staples; fig newton's (strawberry flavor, mmm!) (2 newton's, 100 calories), skinny pop or some form of popcorn that is 150 calories or less, coffee w/ almond milk & equal "sugar" packets (11 calories per cup) (plus its good, but also an appetite suppressant!! keeps me from snacking!), watermelon (super low in calories),…

snacks... jello w/ reduced sugar (only 10 calories, & taste really good; strawberry kiwi), "fig newtons (strawberry flavor, 100 calories for 2), watermelon, coffee w/ almond milk & equal "sugar" ( calories per cup) (also staves off hunger/snackiness) food... progresso light soups, mmm! vegetable (120 calories for can) or…

I also see people have pictures next to their meal name. Like beside breakfast there will be a cartoon picture of a cereal bowl.. how do I do that??

^^ I am approaching maintenance, && I didn't like reading that... Thinking I should make my goal 5 lbs below what I want it for my goal weight :/ I appreciate reading your post nonetheless! I wldnt want any surprises while I'm at my goal. lol

glad I came across this thread!! I've been vegan for under a year. (:

If I'm feeling weak... -I'll go into my closet & look @ all my clothes that are too tight. -Look at my pictures on my comp of when I was small -Make a motivation paper (google it for weightloss) That generally motivates me to FOCUS.

That is showing major dedication!! Super proud of you!! I am 5'4 also. I began on here at my highest weight ever; 172.4, now I'm at 146.8 lbs. I have a few goals. 149, 143, 135, 124 goal weight. I find myself cheating on the weekends though. I've got to stop if I everrrrrr want to reach goal weight.

I've restarted & its easier than the 1rst time... but still tough, lol!

Hey!! Are you guys still keeping this up? I finished it awhile ago, but planning on restarting it tom. I'm getting VERY close to my goal & wld like to continue toning up.

L03D07 completed. (only 3 more days left!!) I plan on being DONE w/ the 30DS after I complete it. I plan on doing her dvd "Killer Buns & Thighs". Prior to the 30DS, I was doing C25K. I will continue this program aswell once I've completed the 30DS.

Forgot to post this; completed L03D06 yesterday. I just need to will my way through the remainder!! Uber excited to say Im completed this workout challenge!

Omg!!!! I agree x a million!! L03D05 done! Only 5 more days of this living hell left :joy: && Only 4 more for you!!! Sidenote; we all are seriously getting worked!! I am pouring sweat during this!
