I don't log on Saturday evening! Normally that's my cheat meal night.

Feel free to add me! I log every day. 299 days and counting!

I noticed a visible change after I lost about 20 lbs. Especially in my face. I felt a lot better also. I didn't start getting compliments from others until I was at about 35 lbs lost. Each pound I consistently lost helped me to stay motivated. Taking things one day and one pound at a time was the key to my success. 90 lbs…

So happy to see you join us! You are beautiful and you've got this! Just take things one day at a time. :smile:

Welcome back. Also, congratulations on the new baby! I have a 16-month-old. I know how hard it is to stay on track with a little one! Great job!

That is fantastic! It is such a great feeling, isn't it? Keep up the excellent work!

I have lost 89lbs with minimal exercise!

For it to be a sustainable weight loss you need to lose no more than 2lbs per week. I have lost 89 lbs at the rate of one to two pounds/week. I'm still going and it's not hard to keep the weight off.

Weight loss is 80% diet. You can exercise your heart out but if you aren't at a calorie deficit then the scale won't move.

I agree with this. ^

one banana alone is over 100 calories at LEAST. It seems to me that you are eating at maintenance calories.

Thank you!

Thank you that means so much!!

I started my weight loss journey on March 3, 2015!! So it has taken me one year and three months!

You are the first person to tell me I look younger! Haha what an awesome compliment. I'm still not used to my face! Hopefully I'll adjust soon.

That was so nice of you to say! Thank you!

I am so much happier! Thank you so much for your kind words.

Thank you so much! Im thrilled to be able to motivate!

Keeping a calorie deficit and moderate exercise!

I will forever keep that sports bra as a reference! Even though my non-existent boobs DO NOT fill it out any more! haha.

I still haven't adjusted to my new face! LOL

Oh girl, my stomach is still VERY poochy! I have diastasis recti, so I tend to stay away from crunches and pretty much all ab exercises! My diet is slowly but surely helping flatten my tummy!

Thank you all so much!

Oh wow. That is amazing! Congratulations on all of your commitment and hard work. You are my role model!

Hey there! I am 5 foot 6 and weigh 158.7 lbs. I wear a size medium top, my jean size is about an 8 depending on the brand, a size medium in work out bottoms, and I wear a size 6 or 8 dress. And for all of you in the medical field, I wear a size small in scrubs! I started at 249 lbs, size 16 jeans, XL top, XL work out…

This! ^ I would NEVER go out without makeup and hair done when I was heavier. Now it really doesn't bother me.

I can sympathize. Canned and frozen fruits and veggies are the way to go! Other than that, it takes a little effort but keep tabs on what goes on sale and make sure you buy produce that's in season. At my local Sam's club, a bag of apples goes from $4.98 to $7.98 when they aren't in season!

Veggies and salsa!

This one may seem weird, but I can feel my pulse in my stomach when I'm laying down! My tail bone is uncomfortable when doing exercises that require you lay on the floor. I am cold all the time and get major goose bumps! The veins in my arms and hands are very prominent. My wedding ring/band is very loose! I have to do…
