I'm in!!! SW: 272lbs CW: 195.8lbs GW (for Sept. 1st): 140.8lbs

Thanks! :)

This is not really a big one, but I was in the bathroom at the gym dancing to the music and for the first time in a long time upon looking at myself in the mirror, I felt good about my body!

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate all the love and support!!! :smiley:

And their vegan friendly! But unfortunately for me they are one of my trigger foods to binge :(

Thanks and I know how frustrating that can be. I've yo-yoed so many times that I nearly gave up, but I'm glad I didn't because here I am now...finally under 200...something I never thought would happen. Please keep being determined and hopeful...you will get there soon! :smiley:

Thanks and yeah it took a while for me to get to this point, but finally I think I have arrived and found what will truly make my body happy! :smiley:

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Thanks!

Thanks so much. That means a lot and same to you!

Thanks! Its definitely a new yet great and invigorating feeling!

Thanks! Yes, I have about 70 more to go and for the first time in a long time I feel like I will get there!

Thanks so much and that means a lot to me to know that I have inspired someone!

Thanks and yay to the vegan life!!! You will get there soon! :smile:

Thank you!

"Don't look at it as losing weight, look at it as gaining health." The more you feel you have to lose, the more its going to take a mental toll on your psyche. Try to look at it as gaining rather than losing. Each pound loss, is another day gained. Also... "Rome wasn't built in a day..." Be patient especially if you have a…

Thanks. I knew I was eating way more carbs than protein/fat but I didn't know it was that much. I will try to find more things with protein/fat in it than carbs.

I will definitely have to start making tea at night. I'm not really a big tea drinker, but I notice on nights I do drink tea, I am a lot less hungry, so I guess I will have to start doing that more.

Thanks. I have increased my calorie intake and will try to consume something like yogurt which is low fat right before bed. Hopefully that will help.

Yes I definitely need to eat more complex carbs and stack up on the protein. I take fiber supplements and I eat at least two pieces of fruit a day. I know I need to eat more, but I'm on a tight budget.

I will definitely try to find something with a good bit of protein to eat before bed. Protein does seem to do the trick in the past. So I will try to eat Greek yogurt or peanuts or cheese like you said. Thanks for the tips!

Thanks, I think I will try the yogurt thing because peanut butter makes me binge.

Thanks! I changed it to 1580cals/day which would be losing 1 lb a week and I think this will make me feel less famished at night or I hope. I will see how this week goes.

I too am trying to lose over 75lbs. Highest weight was 283 and now I am at 205! I havent been that weight since elementary school. I know how it is to be a binger and it is so hard to break that vicious cycle but I am here to tell you like someone said above, if you want it bad enough, no amount of cravings will stop your…

Congrats on the weight loss and its so great to know that I'm not the only one. And you are so right. Thanks!

Thanks and that's so true.

Thanks! It doesn't feel like it sometimes when the process is so slow but I guess when looking at the whole picture, it is an accomplishment.

Thanks!

Thanks!
