I went from an 18 to a 12 in 5 months. Had to lose 45 lbs to get there...losing that month in that amount of time is highly unhealthy and you will gain it back before you can blink your eyes. Slow n steady wins the race hun. I'm sure you'll look great no matter what size dress you wear!

Awesome! Congrats!

I'm always looking for friends and support :) you can add me.

My husband has an entire cabinet full of sweets, chips, and ice cream n the freezer. Has pizza almost every damn night. Is it hard for me to watch him eat that and not be able to...hell yes. But I take a look at ALL THE CALORIES and sugar and carbs n those sweets and ask myself "is this snack REALLY worth it?" Most of the…

You can add me! Always looking for friends :smiley:

Yay! Thanks :smiley:

Go to connections and search my user name :)

Thanks! ...how do I do challenges? Lol

I never thought I would actually feel confident! But I'm getting there more and more each day!

You totally got this! Just keep saying "I don't NEED it!"

That's awesome! Congrats!

I have it set to 1.5 pounds a week...I feel like if I increase my calories more that I won't lose anymore weight...I'll have to try 1 pound a week and see how it goes I suppose

I have anemia but I take iron supplements for it...maybe I should up my cals and see how that goes.

Thought my dairy was open? 5'7 SW 230 CW 190 I still eat what I ate before. Just a lot less. More veggies and fruits. Iowa's eating around 2500 cals before I started counting.

I'm eating around 1300 cals a day. And I use to walk at least 2 miles a day and do yoga...now I just can't seem to do any of it.

I really lost track honestly...had about two weeks where I went up and down the same 5 pounds lol.

Thanks! I'm a little nervous about hitting the maintenance stage when I get there...I hear it's hard to transition over to it.

Thanks guys! Only 18 more pounds to my goal...never been this close before :wink: kinda nervous and excited at the same time lol

Thanks so much everyone! Feels great to actually be able to inspire even one person :smiley:

1350. Some days I'm over. Others I'm short a little

Thank you so much...never thought I could be "inspiring" lol but yes calorie counting down work. Really haven't done much exercise to speak of so the loss is all about how much I'm eating :smile:

Thank you! I feel great :smiley:

Mainly just calorie counting...haven't done much exercise yet

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to reach my goal!

Honestly I think cheat days can help some. I had a bad week last week. 3 cheats n a row. I ate way to much and felt horrible. Then fresh start on Monday and I'm down 7 pounds already...you just have to log it and move on. It's a lifestyle. Your gonna have bad days/weeks but as long as you realize what your doing and get…

I pretty much eat whatever I want as long as it fits in my goals. But I've also been eating more fruits and a veggie with dinner. I always have a turkey sandwich for lunch lol dinner is just whatever I cook but smaller portions

Thanks everyone! It feels amazing!

101 days using mfp. First 20 came off pretty fast...slowed down after that. And with a few bad days in there as well

I started out small by cutting out soda and sweets...then after my first binge attack I added a small amount of chocolate a day to keep my sweet tooth at bay lol. Now I just stick with 1300 cals and walk. But I'm planning on slowly changing from walking to running here soon

I do 1350 calories a day. And as for exercise I mainly just walk when I can...will be adding more exercise soon. :)
