Your honesty is the first step! I wasted my 20s over-eating even though I knew I was getting constantly bigger. I always wanted to stop but I just couldn't - mostly because I believed all this BS in the magazines and such about how exercise was the only answer or certain foods had to be cut out. I was fearful of stepping…

I started out at 102 to lose, currently have lost 75ish. Still going, but always looking for great new friends for motivation and encouragement! I will send you an add.

I gotta say - YOU CAN TOTALLY DO THIS! No matter how far it seems, you will get there. I started at 267, currently 190ish. When I started I thought there was no way this calorie thing will work but it totally does, so if someone like me can do it, I know you can! I have a ways to go, hope I can offer some support and…

I have a ways to go myself. I started in 2015 at 267lbs, and have lost 70 thus far - 197 ish and recovering from holiday overeating, haha! My first goal is about 33lbs away, but I really do wanna lose more than that. So my total goal to lose was over 100 - which I can hardly even believe still! Anyways, I thought I'd post…

I don't like exercise either - HA! I've lost 70ish pounds just by sticking to my calorie limit on here. I don't judge and try to be motivating! You can do this!

Confidence! Even though I haven't lost all my excess weight, I feel so much better about myself because I look better in certain clothes and just feel like weight isn't blocking me.

Really sorry to hear about this tough time for you, but I love your honesty and attitude. I hope I can be of help to you and your weight loss journey! Great time to start with the new year approaching! I will send you an add!

First I must say - you REALLY CAN do this. For real! I've lost 70ish pounds - although regained 3 over the holidays, haha - still got 33 to go to hit my first "goal". I will send you an add!

Hey and I will send you an add. I started at 267, currently 197. This is a long road but you can do it!

I re-lost or lost about 7lbs from overeating two weeks ago, but not entering it since our Thanksgiving is Monday and I know how that goes...lol. Will weigh in next Wed!

I like your realistic approach. 160ish is my ultimate goal as well. I have had some success but lately re-gained due to plain overeating. Started at 267ish and I am at 215 right now. Looking for some extra motivation as well! I will send you a request!

So mine - even though I didn't come close to my goal of 199 thanks to faulty scale readings,lol... I can freaking wear some jackets that I couldn't before cuz they would cling to my back and show the flab... now they don't!!! WOOHOO!

I waited til today hoping for a drop in weight but noooooooooo still the same! UGH!

It was weird cuz they said Sat was the rainiest day and yet it turned out Friday was! Sat was just overcast and wet here. Glad you did the walk and completed it! You should be proud of that!

Overate this weekend. Bouncing back this week. How was everyones' weekend?

I take something I know I want to fit into, and I put it out so I have to see it frequently. Whenever I look at it I remember to keep this up!!! My plaid winter coat that I haven't been able to wear since 2010 is always out for me to see! MFP, hands down. I seriously stay on track by logging on. I find if I don't, I just…

Thanks kitty [/quote] julie you were dang freaking right. I did a weigh in today just to check - and bam back down to 208 even! Like wuuuuuut?! So just a pound to go to the 207 I had before! Thank you for believing in me hehe!

I really appreciate it julie, thank you. You will lose your 3.5 in no time, too!

First thing I thought was shocking was juice. I had orange juice every morning cuz I just assumed it was healthy, but it is 110 cals a glass! Rice was another shocker, thought it was a 'healthy' grain but it is high calorie!!! Quinoa as well, my gosh! And how they say to swap whole grains for refined white flour - like ok,…

I really hope you are doing ok! Best wishes!

Weighing in early this week due to over eating on the weekend and I know it won't improve much by tomorrow anyways. Freaking 213.2 today. Not pleased, not surprised. Hoping it is water retention - AGAIN. I think I will be spending the rest of the month returning to 207. Bye bye 199 :/

Ha! Sometimes those "appetizers" are massive portions and almost a meal in itself!!!

I hope everything is good with you and nothing serious.

My weekend was not good eating wise. Something about this cold weather makes me just want warm food in large portions. I just want to eattt lol!

Did decent this week. Stayed under cals and exercised every day. Hoping for a good weigh in next Wed. I am guessing a month at most for biking before it is too cold. Once this cold weather settles in, this will be more difficult, no gardening or biking. Will have to take up walking again. Have a great weekend everyone!

225 is a great number to reach! I always go in those increments in my head. Congrats!!!

My thing these days is salads made with tomatoes picked from my garden! The taste is sooo awesome!

I know right!!! This is just getting annoying cuz like who buys that candy this early unless they plan to snack on it?! LOL

Congrats on that weight, you are doing really awesome lately!!!

I have no idea what is going on with me. I watched cals all week, I've actually been exercising... and I am up to 212.6. I am really upset with this. I really am thinking the 207 was a lie on my scale, cuz I don't think I've gained almost 6lbs when I am eating below cals.
