Shirts I don’t really worry about because I can always tie them off or just wear them baggy (tshirts) Pants and shorts tho, I do have a few in smaller sizes. I take pics of trying them on at different points in my progress. Nothing too crazy, just a few sizes smaller. I bought some size 14/12s when I was size 20. I’m size…

Could always use more friends. Even if it’s just a random like, just seeing that I’m not alone helps a lot. And seeing a like or a comment on something I’m proud of (like a progress pic or a weight loss after I had a gain the week before) changes my mood for the whole day. And when I’m happy, i stay on track better.

When I was bigger than my best friend at her baby shower February 2020 to February 2021. Going from US size 22 pants to size 16 pants in 25 pounds. Just feeling the difference in how I move, getting out of bed or my car. And buying new clothes! Normally I would lose motivation by going so slow but this time I feel I’m…

Honestly when I get a bad craving, I will limit myself to 1 day that week to take care of it. I hesitate to call it a cheat day because I feel a cheat day takes the accountability/blame away from me. If I put it off too long, I will binge for a few days and feel super guilty. Now, when a craving starts getting bad, I’ll…

I am 5’3” started at 227 pounds and currently down to 203 (199 this morning but it’s not my weigh in day so I’m not counting it) I’m using my Fitbit app a lot more this time around and have seen a much bigger difference in how I’m losing. I’ve gone from a size 22 to size 16 in roughly 25 pounds. Last time I was able to…

I think mfp’s feature works ok. Not for the notes part but the comparison part is fine... 🤷🏻♀️ I have a folder on Facebook that only I can see. I put all the progress pics in there.

Hello. 5’3” at 1380 calories. I walk a lot, get in and out of my car, and carry heavy bags for my job. I have myself set on the lowest activity and let my Fitbit adjust as needed. I’ve been really let down bc in 3 months I ONLY lost 5 pounds. So I understand how frustrating it is to try and work hard but see no results on…

I was feeling really down about the scale and skipping weigh in because I didn’t want to be disappointed. As if not seeing the number on the scale made it not exist. Not healthy at all. I would recommend a weekly pic in the same outfit, maybe even monthly. The scale does not always show the best progress.

I got these a few years ago around November/December and they were sooo good! I haven't been able to find them since and Amazon is always out 🤦♀️

This is only around a 4 pounds difference. And you cant really see a difference. But I can feel the difference in these shorts!!! I never show above my knees bc I hate my thighs. I'm using these shorts as motivation to see how much I can lose before the 14th so I can wear these for my best friends birthday

1: motivating others to lose weight. (I lost 30ish pounds and 3 sizes. Motivated my best friend to lose as well. 2: losing motivation when the person you motivated does better than you (gained back my 30ish pounds in frustration eating) 3: realizing how competitive you really are and secretly being happy when you do…

The first time i tried it i got great results but gained everything back because i stopped watching my food. Not so much the second time... Or third...

I try to end my day by eating grapefruit. I want to train my mind and body into knowing that grapefruit is the end of my eating day. Plus nothing really tastes right after grapefruit so when i try to eat after i dont even get half way before i stop.

You look great. My legs are large too but not even half that smooth! You own that suit!

261 days without soda. I want soda just as much now as on day 1. But it is just a want, where before it felt like a need. I quit cold turkey. For me soda is one of those all or nothing items. It didnt matter if i switched to diet because i was still drinking 4-6 a day. Cutting back to 1-2 felt harder then just cutting it…

Yes. I did have a gym membership but i live in a small military town and at any given time it was over run by grunting guys that hogged the free weights- which was the hole reason i joined! 3 gyms in the town (2 of them anytime fitness) and all of them packed. Thanks everyone for the info! I havent showned above the knee…

Thank you all so much. Some i know how to do but havent. Some i had to google for correct form. Ive got a few wrote down that i like. Do you think i can use some of these as part of my stretching before my walk to warm up?

This is like splitting the difference between soda and pop. We can call it as many different names as we like but its still the same thing. Acknowledging im fat was a huge step to start making a change.
-
It bugs me when i call myself fat and someone corrects me. This is a huge issue between my mom and me. For me, its a part of moving forward to become healthy. Knowing what i need to work on, for emotional or physical health, and stating the fact helps keep me focused. I am fat. I want to change that. To correct me on a…

I understand. Its not the same but i have issues with people at work wanting to 'share' my food i bring in. I normally bring in enough that i can split my food in half and eat twice during my 8-10 hour shift. But you know, im mean because i wont share.
-
I still have issues so im not sure im the best to give advise... And this isnt so much to curb the cravings so much as remove some of the guilt... But when i am really craving something i would squat. Like 25 regular, 25 sumo squats, and usually a 30 second (elevated) plank. It didnt stop the cravings but i also didnt beat…

My coworker amd i started losing at the same time. Ive always been told that the bigger you are the faster you will lose and it will slow down as you get smaller or more fit. So i was suprised when i started losing faster then her. Not only that but she has gained weight since we started. I shouldnt feel happy about that,…

I went last year 5'3" 212 pounds also pear shaped. Size 20 pants (pushing 22 but shhh) I did have a 'scary' moment on the broom stick ride at harry potter. I was between 2 clicks for the holster. And since i was trying to pull it in more it didnt latch right and clicked out to the bigger setting when the ride went face…

Special k chocolate mocha and a granola bar is my go to when i cant have a break at work. I tried the breakfast essentials shake but its a little smaller then the special k with more calories. I havent tried any other shakes.

The lowest i remember being since i got to 5'3" was when i was 15yo i am now 29yo. I was 125 pounds size 9 pants and my hip bones pocked out. Dunno if i want to, or even could, get to that weight again but i sure want to try lol. I would love to be able to say i am the same size i was a 15 by the time im 30
