Good luck!

Beautiful in all 4 pictures but amazing work! You should feel successful 😁

Today a girl I work with brought peanut butter cornflake cookies. It was sooo good! But I was perfectly content having just 1 cookie. Typically I would have eaten quite a few more so I feel like that was progress!

It was really discouraging. The last 2 days I have just done a walk on the treadmill instead of the insanity and I’m back down like 3 pounds so I think it was my body retaining water. That mixed with not eating enough. I know I’m making my body stronger but I like seeing the scale go down lol I mainly done the treadmill…

Also I got a weight trending app and added all my weights from this month and it did actually make me feel better! The overall trend was down despite the jumps.
-
At first I really hadn’t considered I wasn’t eating enough then I seen something about it and realized that’s what I was doing. I’m trying to get a lot closer to my goal now. Thanks everyone for the advice!

I’ve only been serious 2 or 3 weeks now. Patience has never been one of my strong suits! I just started them on Monday and they’re kicking my butt! I feel good afterwards though. But maybe weighing once weekly would be better for me than daily. The increases really do discourage me. I know it doesn’t mean I’m doing bad but…

I haven’t had any of my stuff checked by the dr. I don’t have insurance at the moment so I’ll probably wait until I do in around 3 months if I’m still not really making any progress. I don’t really do much in the heat. I’m a butcher so I work in a cooler and I’ve been doing the insanity workouts or walking on our treadmill.

Yeah I use a digital scale for everything that isn’t pre packaged. If something is like 2.4oz I might round up to 2.5 or something like that but I never round very much. I’m gonna do my best to try to keep closer to my calorie goal and see if that eventually helps. Also I don’t usually eat back my exercise calories. The…

You look fantastic!!

I want to be at 215 by august 15th (my almost 8yr olds birthday). I’m at 227 right now but if I can get there I’m going to eat pizza and cake and not beat myself up about it. I’m not going to gorge on it or anything but still. Also I really really just want to get back under 200
-
That’s usually how I end up eating things I don’t need. But I like the bead idea too as just a little visual aid other than pictures and everything. Cause I’ve read the brain takes longer to catch up with the progress you’ve made. I haven’t made it far enough to experience the lag for myself unfortunately.
-
Those are all really great ideas! I try not to keep the foods in the house but if I happen to go to the store when I’m stressed/upset I’ll buy like a king size candy bar and eat it on the way back to the house 😔. I tend to let my negative thoughts overpower the positive ones. I got on the treadmill yesterday and felt…

I don't have any tips but I'm in almost the exact same boat. I'm a couple years older at almost 25 but same height and weight. I know I need to get my act together but I just can't make myself do it. Sometimes I'll do really good for breakfast and lunch then just lose it at dinner. As far as exercise goes I haven't done…
-
Doesn't work. Spent 100+ dollars on it and didn't lose a single pound.
-
Your belly gives me hope! It looks great!! Did you have stretch marks before?
-
Thanks yall! I'll try everyone's suggestions. And idk if I'm trying to fast, It's just harder to eat good when your the only person in your house who is trying to. My boyfriend will try for a couple days and then want a burger or something. I've just got to get back into the swing. And I can't find a good time to workout.…

First time trying to post pictures so let's see how it goes lol Only a 21 lb difference at 5'4". 221 to 199.6. I can't see it but my boyfriend says he can tell. What do y'all think?
-
Amazing job! You look great!
-
You done amazing! Congratulations!! Can't wait till I get to post a success story!
-
I'm so close to that feeling! It's been about 5 years for me. I've got 2-3 pounds to go! Congratulations and great work!!
-
Coming from a jealous girlfriend point of view, she may just be saying that. Like I don't like the thought of my boyfriend losing a lot of weight because then he will look even better than me than he already does. Therefor more girls will flirt with him, making me uncomfortable lol even though I know nothing would ever…
-
Feel free to add me. 23 starting weight:221 current weight:205 goal weight:140. Oh and I'm 5'4"

Amazing job! I love the new happiness you can see in your face! I hope I have that eventually!
-
As far as sodas go, I stopped drinking them and I buy flavored carbonated waters. It keeps me from wanting a soda most the time. But as far as sweets go I haven't figured that one out yet lol I bought some artic zero "ice cream" and it was only 150 calories for the whole pint so that took care of Thursday's ice cream…
-
A bra that used to be tight and leave marks on my sides fits perfect now! Glad to be losing and being able to tell but a little sad it's my boobs getting smaller lol
-
Really pretty in both but I can see the confidence in the later! Awesome job!
-
Add me if you want! I just started too.

Add me if you want!

Good job! I'm new on here too, looking to lose about 75 pounds. Down about 8 right now. Add me if you want!
