So, Update! I completely cut off alcohol 7 months ago & I have lost 103 lbs since! The benefits of not drinking is amazing!

Almost a year later. Hey guys just checking in! I am down 130 lbs you guys! Really looking at the weight loss in small increments has helped tremendously & Walking + Zumba has played a huge part as well. How is everyone doing out there?! Add me if you like o:) <3

Yes, I’ve just reached 3 months sober

Hey guys! Wonder how everyone’s journey is going. I’m currently down 84 lbs so I’m pushing hard towards my goal. Would love to hear from some of you

Just curious...what is everyone doing for exercise?

I’m in the same boat. I’ve lost 50 lbs but I swear it’s like no one sees it

Hey guys I’ve currently lost 51 lbs!!! Working on my next 10

You sound just like me lol. I'm still trying to work on quitting & it's been Rough.

I have really bad anxiety also & I'm hoping for the same thing

Weight loss is going awesome guys! I am more than determined to get Healthy. Keep adding me if you're serious about losing :) :)

That's awesome! :)

I wish I could just limit myself to drinking on the weekends but Taco Tuesdays & Margaritas always gets me

Yea, it seems like I can't just drink in moderation. I hate to quit entirely but if that's what I have to do to stop jeopardizing my weight loss I will

Looking for friends who are serious about their weight loss journey as well ☺️

Pretty much 100% sure. I started having them 5 years ago after I lost my parents. I've had tests done and everything checked out. I do have Afib though...I think I may be nervous about triggering that by getting my heart rate up too high...I don't know. Thank you for your input

Awesome! You're doing great

Any tips on how to stop hyperventilating when working out? It's really stopping me from working out as hard as I want to. Panic attacks are seriously the devil

Yes it is normal. Also the higher your initial weight the faster the pounds drop off when you start

I'm not limiting my calories or trying to lose too fast. That's just how much weight I've been losing. When I was on a mission to lose weight a few years back I was also dropping like crazy. I guess everyone's body is different but I'm in no way trying to lose at a rapid pace.. I'm taking my time. thank you so much for the…

Can you link me

I lost a lot of weight when I was on Lexapro. Years later & my doc is starting me on Zoloft....I'm a little nervous but I'm hoping for the best

Sometimes my body forgets that. If it was something to panic and die over I already would've lol. That's something I definitely need to keep at the forefront of my mind. I'm gonna keep hanging :smile:

That's what I'm trying to do with Zumba. By the way I love your username lol

Lol awesome. Thanks

Oh I definitely know it won't stay at a 4-5lb loss a week. I lost almost 150lbs a few years ago-it literally was just dropping of me...I know it's not gonna be the same. I know it's gonna be a journey & i'm more than ready for it. Thank God for MFP it's a Godsend

I just have to push through it. Thank you for your advice

I'm definitely gonna try to focus on my breathing more. I'm actively have a psychiatrist and therapist

Yes, I do see a therapist and psychiatrist and I am on medication for my panic. I was really just reaching out to see if anyone else goes through this themselves & Could provide ways they cope. But thank you

These are some great suggestions & really helps. I will definitely use this. Thank you!
