Welcome to MFP! I started in April with a goal to lose 157 lbs. It seemed so daunting and at first I didn't know if I'd be able to do it. Fast forward 4.5 months later and I am down 63 lbs and have 94 to go. I still have a ways to go but it seems so much less daunting than it did in the beginning. Be honest and accurate…

I rarely chime in on these boards but I'm compelled to post on this one and say that the statement above is actually kind of rude. I've been overweight for a long time and am currently 60 lbs down out of 150 to lose. I ate some really crappy food over the last 2 decades to get me to where I was, but also ate some really…

I caught myself in a mirror that took me totally by surprise...not even a split second to realize there was a mirror, so I didn't have the chance to "suck in" or make myself "mirror ready". I think I finally saw what other people see. I almost didn't recognize myself. It was a really, really bad moment and unfortunately…

I caught my full body reflection in a bathroom mirror at a restaurant I had never been to before. The mirror was right there as soon as I walked in and I had zero time to prepare myself for it. I almost didn't recognize myself. That was it. 2 months later I am 29 lbs down and feeling amazing!

Mine is 195. I'm a little over 5'9" but also am just built pretty big. I'm very heavy now and don't look nearly as big as what the scale shows. So for right now it's set at 195 but we'll see what happens as I get closer.

I weigh in every Monday morning and still count it, even during lady days :blush:

Yes! I crave water now too! I drink 180 oz a day. If I don't drink at LEAST 150oz I almost feel dehydrated. It's become such a habit that I don't even "struggle" to drink it anymore.

I drink water only, and have for 7 weeks now. At first I was peeing like crazy and it would hit me out of nowhere. I think my kidneys and my bladder are used to it now because although I still do pee a lot, it's not as crazy as it used to be. I FEEL so much better drinking only water and it has really helped with my skin…

Hi! I have 157 lbs to lose all together....down 24 in 6 weeks! I started at 352 (my all time heaviest :neutral: ) and am now at 328. We can all do this!!

I've lost 24 lbs of the 157 lbs I plan to lose (a long way to go!) but only a few people have mentioned anything. One random person at work asked me very shyly if I was losing weight. A few of my friends and my sister say that they can tell. My boyfriend is totally oblivious...lol. We are together (as we live together and…

I use the digital scale in my gym's locker room and weigh in every Monday morning right before working out (about 6:30am). I have found that I get the most accurate numbers when I only weigh in once a week as your weight can fluctuate daily. I know this doesn't work for everyone, but it has been my best bet. Also, my…

Very carefree!

I am currently in that state of mind as well. I have lost 20 lbs in 5 weeks and I feel fantastic. This is the most focused I've ever been in all my attempts at losing weight. I know I'm a little on the obsessive side, but to me, it's better than the alternative...which is why I've never been successful in losing weight…

buff!

Me too. I have 157 lbs to lose and 17 down in 4 weeks. It's going to be a long journey but I'm in for it! You'll do great!

I do this every week. I put 5 in and shred the chicken and season it a tad. Mix it all together and it is delicious! I portion out (5) 3oz baggies for my lunches for the week...I have a simple salad most days, spinach/romaine with cucumbers, tomatoes, a sprinkle of feta cheese and half an avocado (cubed up). I used about a…

Thumbs up. I've been using this as a rule of thumb for years.

I use Aqualert...it's an app that tells you how much your ideal water intake should be according to your weight and activity level. You can enter when you drink water (the serving sizes are adjustable) and see the depiction of the water you've drank so far. It also gives you a percentage of how much you've consumed. I also…
