Yep please add me! I'm at 1674, which was calculated as my burn rate (did an InBody assessment at my gym). I don't always make that, but almost always above 1500!

Definitely want more friends! Recently started back up after 8 month "hiatus", i.e., eating whatever I wanted....!

Wow Chrissy, just wow. You said a mouthful. I can't tell you how many times I've done that..."I need to lose more" "I don't like this, I don't like that" And yes it's fat-shaming. Wonderful that you shared that with us! I guess we all have to try to enjoy the process, the victories along the way. Great job!!!

This!!! You sound great. And I want to emulate your attitude :smile: Please add me as a friend...

My goals: 1) accurate calorie count! 2) 15,000 steps 3) no snacking after 8pm :)

I too have a couple dresses that are just a touch too small...can't wait to wear them too!!

Yes on the fitness goals...I'm going to up my weight training from 2x to 3x a week. Gotta change it up, maybe leave this plateau. :) And as much as I rebel on counting calories, when I stop...guess what. Good luck to you!

NSV this morning: wearing size 12 jeans for the first time in 12 years! Okay so they're a little tight and stretchy but....motivating to see that smaller size!!

I had to get a link taken out of my watch because it was slamming around on my wrist! Too big.... :smiley:

YAY! What an inspiration...so happy for you. :smile:

LOVE IT! When a Large really is...just...too large...

My NSV: I no longer avoid mirrors at all costs! That is so 35 pounds ago.

Great work! I'm now 16 from 199, let's get it done together :)

Beautiful in *both* pics but you look so much happier in the "after" !! Good for you!

YEAH! It's true, it really is. From me: say good things to yourself.

You n me both!

New to this thread...so excited to see it! I'm 21 from Onederland, down 28 so far!

This! Actually it sounds a lot like what I do, which is intermittent fasting. I eat between noon and 8, that's it. For me, knowing that the less I eat at night the more I will lose is great motivation. One other thing I would add: I drink flavored seltzer water and it really does make me feel like I'm having a treat and I…

So wonderful! Good for you! :) Honestly you look like a different person!

Love this thread! I had a few a-ha moments: First, I made the mistake of watching the fat shaming video (by a nameless Canadian comedienne). I realized that instead of being offended for obese people, I was offended for myself. The next a-ha moment was finally stepping on the scale after a year. I was expecting 230, but…

Love it! I am sure our furry friends notice changes too!

I'm not 100% sure this qualifies, but here goes. Since I began losing weight, I've been thinking of how much I weigh in terms of the weights of athletes, particularly football players. NE Patriots players. So I started out less than Vince Wilfork, more than Tom Brady. Well! Today, I have to pick another athlete's weight to…

Thanks for that! Good luck with your journey...feel free to friend me!

Alrightey, it's been a while and I wanted to report back...I've lost 19 pounds now! I'm really happy with that, and feel motivated to keep going. This morning I had measurements done (not inches, but a machine that measures lean mass/fat mass, BMI, strenth of legs and arms) and all that weight I lost? Almost all fat! I'm…

Okay I have two... 1. Running up steps from train and blowing past much younger people :smile: 2. This might be TMI but I did notice it and am pretty sure it's related to weight loss: when I'm on the potty, it's *much* easier to reach around to wipe, less of an acrobatic feat!

Though I *love* it, ice cream just doesn't do me any favors.

Auddii, You are in "onederland" and that is a beautiful thing! Thanks for your story

Thanks! I'm on it...

Oops posted a little too soon there. I was hoping to hear how other people came to terms with everything and what people tell themselves in order to succeed. Thanks for the reply.

Hi...no I wasn't expecting amazing inch loss!! I've been to this rodeo before :). I guess it's just needing to acknowledge where I am. And asking others how they approached
