3 lbs until my next mini milestone! 155 here I come!!!

Getting up into a headstand! I am getting SO close, I can get my knees up but can't yet straighten my legs.

I'm only a little over halfway to goal weight and I have started getting the "you are so tiny (now)!" comments, so I predict I will eventually get some of these "you are too skinny" or " you're done losing now right?" comments once I'm close to or at goal weight. This thread is so useful in getting possibly ready for those…

I'm sure that this has been mentioned already but, the fact that often you will look worse before you look better! At my starting weight my belly was big but it was tight and smooth. Now a little over halfway to goal the fat in my belly has gotten soft and kind of flabby/loose. BUT while I don't look like I would like to…

@TavistockToad P90X3 is what I have been doing and I loved it, but I'm almost done and I don't really want to repeat it right away. @Davidsdottir Hubby was doing something similar but the warmup was just soooo long, guess 5x5 is different?

For the longest time I had lost my "why" too, for me getting it back was really looking at myself and realizing that I am worth it, that I deserve this. I had to learn to love and accept myself at my highest weight in order to be able to lose the weight. It took a lot of work on my mental well being before I could get…

Watermelon or cherries when they are in season, so sweet and delicious!

I weigh myself pretty much every day but the fluctuations don't bother me. I use a weight trending app and look at the trend rather than the fluctuations.

1.2lbs away from dropping from Obese to Overweight on the BMI charts!

I have a few different strategies for nights out. If it's planned ahead of time I will save an extra 100-200 calories each day the week before. If it's last minute I will either eat light that day and the next day or just the next day if it's very last minute. Sometimes I will only have half my meal and save the other half…

That'S overreacting a bit IMO. You are in charge of what goes in your mouth just keep saying no, you don't need to explain yourself or defend your choices just keep repeating NO.

When I started I picked a weight at the upper end of a healthy BMI. When I get there I will focus less on weight and I may reevaluate depending on how I feel about what I see in the mirror.

Went through my bin of summer clothes last weekend and decided to be brave and try on the swim shorts I emergency bought last year because we were going to a water park and none of my swimming stuff fit anymore, and now they are so big I am swimming in them! (pun totally intended :P)

1. How much weight you lost so far 25 lbs 2. How long it took I've been doing this for about 4 months 3. How was your maintenance? Not there yet 4. In short, what works? Prelogging my days and using a food scale to weigh all my food and log as accurately as possible.

SO much! I wish I knew about calorie counting and nutrition and that I don't need to starve myself or give up all the foods I love! Also knowledge about weight lifting! I believe that if I'd had that knowledge in my late teens I never would have gotten fat. If I knew all that I know now I wouldn't have developed these…

Hey guys so I'm LOVING P90X3 but I find some of the workouts a bit short and feel like I still have some energy to keep going. Any suggestions on what other video or exercise I could do after, something short like 15 min?

I love cooking, but I hate cooking during the work week so I meal prep on Sundays. Spending a few hours in the kitchen on Sunday and not having to cook the rest of the week is ideal for me.

I just picked a random number in the healthy BMI range to give myself something to shoot for. I don't actually care that much where I end up on the scale, in the end I just want to like what I see in the mirror.

That might be from the Beachbody workouts, they spout that woo to push their 30 minute a day programs. I use their workouts because they work for me, I just ignore all the Woo that they try to push.

I still have all those foods, I just have smaller portions of them. A small baked potato and a 3-4 ounce steak with lots of veggies on the side is not really all that many calories, especially if all you put on your potato is a dab of butter. I make burgers too, one of my favourite ways to reduce the calories is to add…

In the same line I hope that losing weight will help my knees, it did last time the pain went away completely. But right now I have to go really easy on some exercises (squats and lunges for example) even if I want to push myself so I hope it goes away again.

Is there a reason he can't make his own profile?

Knitting!

I haven't given anything up because giving it up would make me crave it like crazy and eventually binge. Though I have made some changes to the way I eat and there are foods I won't/can't keep in the house like chips or cookies, but I don't tell myself I'm not allowed to have them ever I just have them on special…

I finished P90 on Friday and I'm on to P90X3! Did the first workout yesterday (Total Synergistics) and I loved it! I just have to make sure to watch each video before doing it for the first time since they do not show you how to do the exercise beforehand, they just jump in. P90 used to show you how to do each…

Ugh the last time I saw my grandma she asked if I liked being this big, it completely crushed me and pissed off my hubby and Dad. Old people, they don't give a *kitten* and have no filter!

During the week I prelog all my meals the day/night before, I also meal prep on Sundays, it only takes me 5 minutes to log and I find it much less stressful to know exactly what I will be eating next and how much of it I can eat. I also have a fairly big chunk of my calories as an evening/post workout snack that I can play…

Original starting weight - 191 April starting weight - 175 April goal - 170 Ultimate goal - 130 April 1 - 175 April 5 - 175.8 April 12 - 173.2 April 19 - 172.2 Don't think I'll be reaching my goal this month but it'll be close at least! April 26 - Total loss for April :- 3

On a whim this morning I reached for a dress that I had put way back in the back of the closet because I had "outgrown" it and it fit! It fit so well I wore it to work today :)
