  • I'm 5'3 and currently 138. I've lost 45 pounds over three years although I've lost and gained during that time. When I get to 132 I plan on eating at maintenance level and work on toning and strength. If I'm not satisfied at that point I'll set a new goal. Feel free to add me; I'm looking for relatable friends for mutual…

  • I quit: sugar in my coffee (still add a tablespoon of creamer although I plan to phase that out as well), soda, redbull, sweet tea (keeping track of my food intake made me realize how many calories I was drinking everyday), fast food, processed foods and "mixes" (if we're going to have cake, brownies, cornbread,…

  • I really struggle with getting hung up on the numbers. I love seeing those numbers go down. It's like proof that I'm doing things right and it's VERY encouraging and motivates me! Now that I'm closer to my personal goal it's taking a month to lose what I was losing before in a week. If I let it, it will get me down. I have…

  • I love seeing those numbers on the scale going down too, but as hard as it is, I try not to obsess on them and let that number be my sole motivator.

  • I did the same thing for years! Woke up to a fresh start everyday and went to bed bloated and filled with self loathing and a gut bomb of junk food. What finally worked for me was giving up all my food addictions at once, purging my house of trigger foods and doing a whole lot of soul searching!! No soda, no redbull, no…

  • I'm almost 43 and I am definitely having to work harder and make more sacrifices foodwise than I did in my 20's and 30's. It's so frustrating!!
