Everyday i remind myself that time passes anyways, so why not try to take control of my life now? Everday we have the choice, it's a matter of sticking to that choice! desiring a longer life that's more fulfilled with activity keeps me on track! Knowing that people only see me for who i am on the outside and judge based on…

At work we have protective sweaters, (Im a dental assistant) and a few months ago I wasnt able to button my 3x all the way down. Needless to say, this morning I put one on and began buttoning it and before I knew it I had buttoned the entire sweater with room to spare. :) still on my journey, but enjoying these victories.…

Not a cry for attention by any means, but even if it was, is that so bad?? These people are so inspiring and make those of us who need to lose a lot of weight feel like it's possible by being able to see the progress with our own eyes!! I look at the success stories daily to remind myself it's possible and I'm not just…

Measure yourself girl, it only takes a few minutes and its worth it down the road, i love seeing inches lost as much as lbs

Awesome job, so inspiring!!

You are so Tiny and such an inspiration to me!! Your hard work and dedication paid off and i know mine will too!!

200+ lbs for me, it's very daunting, but like someone else previously stated, break it up into smaller goals, or don't focus on the amount you need to lose so much as eating healthier. Its easy to get wrapped up in the number but you have to keep pressing forward and soon enough that 100 turns into. 75, 50, and so forth. :)

Dental assistant. Yes, there's a difference between being a hygienist and a dental assistant. Everyday I'm suctioning.

No i do not like diarrea. Lol Thanks for the reference, i will check it out

Lol, im sorry you read yet another one of these threads. What's the point even posting a thread when there's already hundreds out there just like it? Who knows, but I enjoyed getting my own feedback.

Lmao, oh trust me i do

Will do

Damn y'all, thanks for all the above opinions and other weird comments. :)

Yeah i posted my comment before i even looked at the site. But for me, i have over 200lbs to lose so I'm not going anywhere soon, i just want to try different things while I'm at it to see how they work for me. Obviously it's smart to stick to cico, which i have found to be the best method for me personally, but i like…

How my insides feel:) Tea bea, have you done what you posted? Did you get results, what are they? I can Google all day long but i was hoping for feedback from someone whose done a cleanse themselves

Lmao, Yeah I guess that's one way of doing it. Not sure I'm ready for one.

great post, I agree with what you said 100%. thank you for sharing!!

Okay, thanks everyone. Taking all the opinions into consideration!

Thank you, I will definitely keep these thing in mind. Is there a calculator for finding your lean body mass?

It truly is up to you to choose what you want most. You CAN have alcohol, cake, icecream, everything under the sun, but fit it into your daily calories! It's as simple as that. If this is something you will quit, then it's not right for you. Find what is right for you while still progressing, even if it is at a slower rate.

check it again, I made it public! : )

Thanks hun, great advice. I think that's the hardest part for me, wanting my loss to be a consistent 1lb a day type of thing, ya know? Which isn't realistic or healthy, but it's what I picture as success. I'm just eager, eager to have a more fulling and healthful life. I'm ready to live, like I've never lived before! So…

Yes, I'm under medical supervision. I check in with my doctor every few weeks. And thank you...but i do understand that a pound a day isn't sustainable, much less a great way to lose seeing as i could lose muscle along the way.

you can do this, break that goal up into smaller weekly goals and it will be so much more attainable. im here to chat with anytime! ive got about 223lbs to go so im not leaving anytime soon : P

I've let minor setbacks turn into major setbacks because I got discouraged. don't fret over the pound, like someone else previously said it can fluctuate based on a number of factors. when you put clothes on do they feel any different? do you physically feel better without those 10 pounds, you'll stand to feel even better…

Thank you, I went ahead and ordered one. I'm excited to try it.

Im sure it is a common question, but i wanted to ask for myself thank you.

Do you feel as though it's accurate?

Great work, you look Awesome!

Way to go! Could totally use your advice and support.
