Also I have tried the super low carb and just couldn't sustain it like other posters. You know sometimes I want to have some ice cream with my kids or a slice of pizza on a Friday night :)

I do around 100 carbs a day. Like other posters, I haven't eliminated carbs, just reduced them. I stay away from sugar as much as possible. I personally save my carbs for dinner since I cook for my family and don't want to make two different dinners. Occasionally we have pasta. I also keep my calories in check. I bought a…

Just 3.5 pounds to go. Lost 22.5 already. Can't wait to see that ONE 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣

Kalimera <3 Not born in Greece but a Greek-American born in New York. You can add me!

I'm about three pounds away myself so I'm very excited for you!! Congratulations :)

I just bought the max support underwire sports bra from Soma and I really like it. About $60 though

A few pounds left to one-derland

I will support you too - feel free to add me. Started at 225 and have lost 21 pounds since February. I have found the community portion of the site very helpful. I log every day. A food scale is very important- I was stuck and found out my meat portions were way too big. You can do this!

We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, and that includes getting healthy Isaiah 40:31New King James Version (NKJV) 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

I'm five pounds away and have been going up and down a few pounds for the last couple of months. Am pushing to get there by the end of August

What an amazing accomplishment! Congrats to you!

Go ahead and add me. I have 60 pounds to lose and have lost 20 so far. I am on here everyday consistently :)

No change this week - but that's ok I love this challenge and want to get to one-derland by end of August

For the first time ever the hubby and I and the kids walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. Took a picture on the bridge and was actually happy with the way I looked in it. Plus I did 20,000 steps walking around the city!

20 pound difference Still have a ways to go but changes are happening

This is great! ❤️ thanks for the motivation! Screen name: lzap27 Goal for August 31st: 195 July 22nd (starting weight): 206 July 29th: 205 August 5th: August 12th: August 19th: August 26th: August 31st:

I use Panasonic ErgoFit Best in Class In-Ear Earbud Headphones I bought on Amazon. They cost about $7 and are so super comfortable in your ear! And for inexpensive headphones they last and sound quality is good. I personally hate the design of the ones that come with the iPhones. They never stay in my ears LOL

Add me too :) have been looking for some Christians on here too. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us - even this journey to better health

I've had the mirena now for several years and always thought it was the problem in the back of my head. But in reality every time I put the work in - eating right & working out - I lose weight. So who knows?

Yup I had that same few days a couple of weeks ago. But we can't beat ourselves up and we can't do the same things we've been doing. My motto this time is that this time will be different. Twenty years fighting the same weight, and I don't want to make the same mistakes. You can do it!

Since rebooting myself in February I figured out that the one thing missing in my weight loss journey was exercise. I never consistently did that part and now that I am, I am doing so much better. I go three times a week and sometimes I go at 8 pm. It's so hard to leave your family and house at that time. But I tell myself…

Hi there - I am a mom of two and work part time. I cook for them, my hubby and mother in law pretty much everyday. What I do is eat my best all day and then have a smaller portion for whatever we are having for dinner. I feel like I can control what I put in my mouth for breakfast and lunch, so those are super healthy.…

Over 40 here, with 65 pounds to lose. Have lost 15 so far since mid February. I am on here everyday- feel free to add me :)

You can add me. I am also a wife and mom of two. Started at 225 mid February and am hovering at 210. Sounds like we have similar goals :). I'm looking to kickstart May because I was slacking a bit the last two weeks. I'm up in NY

Cottage cheese 1% - Friendship Brand is my favorite! 90 calories, 1 gram fat so it won't increase your fat percentage, only 4 grams carbs, and 16 grams of protein.

I totally get this too. My husband has always had a great body and a six pack without really trying. I have always been overweight, but he loves me anyway ❤️ My only advice is to make your mind up to resist. Trust me I know how hard it is I promise because I've been on and off diets for over 20 years. This year is the…

I like to eat a low sugar cereal like multigrain Cheerios, life, or Barbara's multigrain spoonfuls, filled to the brim with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Pretty much I have that every morning. And it's about 200 calories, plus low in sugar and carbs overall.

I am with you on the life overhaul. It's been long and too many diets. Starting at 225 and have a goal weight of 160. Married with two kids :)

Hi I'm a 43 year old mom of two. Have used MFP off and on for a few years. Started fresh two weeks ago. Starting at 225 with a goal weight of 160. Finally started working out! Looking for some other women with similar goals for support. Add me
