What a great list!
-
My co-workers and I had a working meeting at McDonald's. I used to pig out and eat a huge meal. I only ordered an Egg Delight McMuffin and nothing else. It has a low amount of calories too!

I have a box of undies I'm waiting to get back into, I refuse to throw them out when they are $9 per pair! Although, I am fitting better into some shorts of mine, so maybe soon!

I'm still keeping track of what I eat but when pms rolls around, I swear I could eat the house. Despite that I have still stayed in my calorie range! Also every Tuesday and Thursday I'm going to go workout for 50 minutes with a woman who absolutely kicks my butt! I know it's not many days but up till now I have been doing…

Buying new clothes is so expensive. Now that I'm on this journey, I wish I had saved my old clothes that I got too fat to fit into!

Wow, I love reading success stories and your is really great. I would love to hear the whole thing!

My belly when I lay down isn't as floppy as it was when I started 15 lbs ago!

I have been overweight my whole life and I always hated it. I would try the fad diet of the moment and it would fail and I was so "whatever" about it, I just accepted that this was the way things were. When I met my spouse we were both a size 14-16 both of us ballooned up to 20-22. I topped out at 304 lbs. I was in…

What a difference! Good job!

First thing I noticed when I started logging what I ate was all the extra calories I was eating everyday. It does make a difference and it does work!

Ptkat28... What a change, you look fabulous. Keep it up. That's an inspiration to all of us. modacielo73... I completely understand what you are going through. I have had a bit of a rough time lately myself. First we had 3 visitors and it's so tough to keep to the good eating habits when you are constantly eating out and…

Woo hoo, good going!
-
I think part of the problem is that we see ourselves in the mirror everyday so we don't see the changes we've made. As if, you could see the old you next to you in the mirror then you would see the big difference. Another part is that if you have been big for a long time your mind has come to accept that as reality. It…

Fast and speedy recovery to you, good work on the weight loss!

Don't you have a locker? Scales aren't very big, about the size of an iPad.
-
That's so awesome. I love when stuff like that happens! I have a similar one, I wore a shirt today that I haven't worn in months and it was a bit big, I was thrilled even though I love that shirt and don't want to give it up. I guess it's a double edged sword. But I will gladly take this "bad" to get all the good benefits.

That's so nice to hear!

The lose skin is a fear but even more than that it's the truly terrifying idea of getting tired and saying 'the hell with it.' That's got to be what scares me the most.

@melkithall you have to act as if the contest is still going on and keep up your good habits. Go to your local library and check out healthy eating magazines to get good recipes and Shape magazine always has great healthy living articles. It CAN be done, we just have to MAKE it happen!

Sorry the specific name is: Looking to lose 100+ pounds... the healthy way!
-
@TXChelleD try the thread Looking to lose 100+ lbs... the healthy way it's a great thread with a lot of really supportive people!

Try shopping either garage sales, goodwill shops or thrift stores. Sometimes you can get really good deals at those places for some pretty nice clothes, some even still have the tags on! These can be your lower cost transitional clothes so you won't have to spend a bundle on things you don't plan on keeping.

He never said he only wanted gay friends. Some of us just happen to be.

Dancing is such a great and fun workout! I'll have to give that a try!
-
We went to the Taste of Chicago today and I'm not sure how I did it but managed to eat very few calories while there. It was a great day to go and so far for today I have logged 7,330 steps!
-
I do wish you well on your journey, we all need a little boost now and then. You really seem to be on the right path so far!
-
You're human and from time to time you will go over but don't stress too much about it. Just pick yourself up the very next meal dust yourself off and keep counting your calories. One way I try to not forget to log anything is by doing it right then. My wife is very supportive and doesn't nag me if I pull out my phone for…

@BuglesBoy how much are you trying to lose? 'Fraid to say it but you don't seem to be carrying any weight in your face.
-
@Ptkat28 that is so awesome that you do that. Unfortunately it has been too cold here to do that everyday. Today the high was only 66°!

Yes, the significance is the fact that it is under 200. It is so easy to let yourself get into the 200's but getting out and closer to a healthier weight is "one"derful. Get it?
