I've been waiting to lose enough weight for a certain dress to look good. I wore it today, but it still didn't look good because it's now a bit too big....

Today I noticed a teeny, tiny keyhole of thigh gap. 🥹

I’ve sloooowly been losing weight this year, mostly through just eating mindfully (and sporadically tracking calories when I start to get off track). Well, yesterday I went through all my fall/winter clothes and everything fits and looks much better now that I’m 20lbs lighter!

I started a stressful semester at school mid May and as a result I have not been logging and only half-kitten watching what I eat. After 2 months, I finally got on the scale expecting to have gained 10lbs or more. I lost 3! I was so surprised that I reset my scale and weighed myself 4 more times…then went and took all my…

I woke up today and I had collarbones again.

Even though it was cold outside and my bed was warm and I stayed up too late, I pulled off the covers at 5:20 and went for a quick run with my dog.

I had a “bad food” day today and went way over my calories. But I held myself accountable, logged everything, and still finished the week in a deficit.

After being off track for almost 3years, I logged everyday this week. :D

A couple months I started C210K and quit at Week 5. Life has calmed down a little bit, so this week I decided to restart on Week 2. Today I hopped on the treadmill to run Week 2 Day 2, but the app defaulted to Week 5 instead. When I realized what had happened, I decided to try to finish the run...and I did! I’ll go back to…

Last night, after already surpassing my calories for the day, I poured a GIANT bowl of stress cereal. 1200 calories, at least. As I was walking to the fridge for milk, I accidentally dropped the bowl and broke it. The time I spent cleaning up gave me pause to reconsider my impending binge. And by dropping that bowl, I also…

I'm surprised no one has mentioned drinking more calories. Juiced vegetables and fruits, milk, extra cream in your coffee, etc. can add an extra couple hundred calories easily.

When making tofu scramble, add kala namak (black salt) as it has a sulfur taste that mimics eggs! Today I made a breakfast burrito with a low carb wrap, lite life sausage, 1/4 block of tofu (seasoned with kala namak and pepper then fried in vegan butter), 1.5 cups leafy greens, 1T sriracha, and 1t vegan mayo. It was so…

Following a minor surgery last month, I wasn't able to exercise and, as a result, allowed myself too many "why not" days. My NSV? I'm back on track with exercising and calorie counting...and back to my pre-surgery weight.

I love setting weightloss rewards. I have lesser rewards for smaller increments and larger rewards for bigger milestones. I also set rewards for maintaining 6mo and a year and bonuses for reaching goals by a certain date. Some rewards I am planning (or would have planned if I had more weight to lose): rollerskates, bike,…

I made muffins...then forgot all about them!

Thank god.

HEY--I thought there'd be spaghetti squash recipes here (browsing by recent discussions, not recipes)! Related to topic: I also agree with Ann and Ellie. 1. Spaghetti squash every day should not be a concern for weight gain, though it could be for micronutrients due to lack of variety. 2. 1200-1250 does seem very low for…

Yes! And shampoo! I've had to switch from cupping shampoo with my whole hand to using just my palm. The horror!

I've seen it mentioned on these forums multiple times and I can't agree more: replace your wardrobe at thrift stores. I've had such great (and cost effective) experiences with thrift store finds that I may never go back to buying new. Except underwear. Speaking of which...after weightloss, a $13 bra from Target now holds…

May 4: 3.44mi May 6: 4.74mi **Edited to say: Congratulations @PastorVincent ! Fantastic time!

Finally got out for my first run this month. May 4: 3.44mi

Another noob here! I'm going to aim for 2-3 short runs/week; 50 miles total for May.

I use 1 tbsp dijon for a huge salad. 15 calories and soooo good.

You can't expect to get there by exerting no energy. Honorable Mentions: -Be honest. Be consistent. Be patient. -The best exercise is the one you enjoy doing. -Embrace progress, not perfection. -If you don't need the calories, it's still wasting food. -What you eat in private you wear in public.

@crazykatlady820 OMG, you win. This is awful. My step mother made a potato soup once a week that smelled exactly like vomit. I never ate it, but the smell filled the house and I would bury my head in my pillow and try not to throw up. But globs of mayonnaise?! No. Just no.

These are so fascinating! I haven't read them all yet, but here's my contribution: Kool-Aid: We had a rule that whoever finished the last of the Kool-Aid had to make more. If you did not physically pick up the sugar bag and dump it in, you weren't making it correctly. I swear, we had to be using at least 5 cups of sugar…

I WAS FAT because I deserved that brownie fudge sundae, slice (or 3) of pecan pie, or bacon cheeseburger. And it certainly didn't help that I had no regard for proper portion sizes.

I finally had to buy new underwear! -20 from my previous lowest weight (-72 from highest), and this was the only wardrobe item for which I still owned accommodating sizes. Obviously I was in serious denial....

As marked by a mole; where I once had a back roll, I now have a hollow.

CAPSULE WARDROBE If you have a significant amount to lose, you will replace your entire wardrobe...multiple times. Buy only basics in a very limited array of colors so everything matches with everything else. And for the love of god, buy it all second hand.
