Diet wise...my suggestion is DO NOT try to do it ALL at once. Make small changes that you know you can do for the rest of your life. Stack the "little wins" to gain momentum, get in 64 oz of water, walk for 15 min. Portion out your snacks instead of eating them from the container. Little things like that will lead to…

To be able to fully close the towel around when i get out of the shower. I can get the top closed and my upper covered, but the split of the sides is still open.

Why can't you get a second opnion? it is your body and your right to know more about it and what they are asking you to do. I agree this does not make any sense medically. You are a woman, you get your period. PERIOD. It's life/nature. Yes, most women are anemic/low iron when they get their periods, I am one of them. I up…

This is definitely inspirational. I too an 5'2", a mom, close in age, and feel like I will never be under 150 (still a LONG way from there too). Years ago I got to 150 and felt AMAZING, so that is my "goal" right now and i will see how i feel when i get there. Thank you for sharing! You look amazing!

"starting over" is all a mental thing. I too have been on MANY "diets", programs, etc. and have fought my ups and downs. I have learned this last year you really never "start over". Starting over is a term, to me, that seems to state that you have lost ALL knowledge, info, direction, etc. of anything you have ever…

I usually go for the one at the store (1 bowl is 380 calories and i usually never finish end up eating it 2 days)...I have not made the recipe myself. https://www.thebalancedberry.com/quinoa-broth-bowl/

keep plugging the water in. More than you normally would. That should help some. It usually does with me at TOM. :)

Always meet yourself where you are at. Do not make HUGE changes all at once. Small ones that you can stick with, and add more as you go. Assess every day, what you did great, what you can do better, and what you need to stop doing. Do not beat yourself up for making a mistake/slip up, learn from it. Why did it happen?…

Hello all! I am Jill. I am 35, married, and I have one daughter. This year have been rough for me emotionally. My husband was sick and out of work, I had to have my gallbaldder out, among other things that life throws at you both physically and mentally. I took a huge hit in my sails when it came to my self care and weight…

Im 5'2" and am getting back on my horse, but last year I began and had fluctuated between 1250 and 1700 and still lost close to 50lb with exercise from Feb-Sept. I gained some back with stress of life/holidays and realized I was allowing myself to creep back into old habits. Right now I am at 1450 and will eat back some…

I just made breakfast muffins. You can add anything you want into them (just track it all). Grease a muffin tin DO NOT use cupcake liners!! Add you ingredients (veggies, cheese, sausage/bacon etc) into each muffin cup to fill each tin. Use 7-10 eggs depending on egg size scrambled with a little milk and pour over the…

Not in the same boat, but just a tip, find easy to take along recipes for snacks/meals that you can prep ahead. I had to reboot myself this past week and breakfast was an issue for me. I have been preplanning my breakfasts this week and feel it helps set me up for a good day. As long as you are prepared and willing to…

Feel free to add me as well! I am down 35 ish now, needing a total of 100+ to lose to be close to where I want to be to reassess and see where I want to go from there!

This site has helped me a lot. I am not vegetarian or vegan. It has helped me get ideas for "meatless Mondays" and what not... https://www.eatthismuch.com/ It will also help (I believe the page will come up) build a meal plan within a calorie range and if you have certain food preferences. You can also mess with Macros on…

I am in week 7 right now and I have found that no matter what I have done on the treadmill it does NOT equal out to the out door portion. If you think about it running on a treadmill that is powered it is helping you with your momentum equaling the use of less energy on your part. Outside you are what is propelling…

I eat cheeseburgers and fries once a week. I like those. I also have bacon every week too, because I like it :) It took me a while as well to get out of my head I NEEDED to be on a specific "food plan" to lose weight, and anything else that was not on said program, eating list, etc was "BAD"!! Some of my friends are still…

Hello all, I am not so new, but have RE-started my journey after MANY starts and stops this past February. I too have over 100 lb to lose (120 to be exact for my first initial goal.) I am already down a little over 30 lbs. I have made the commitment to myself that I DO NOT want to come back AGAIN. There have been MANY…

You tube has some AMAZING short workouts. Some are even body weight ones. Search around, a lot of them seem to be geared towards women/moms but still are GREAT workouts for everyone! Good luck!!

This is THE MAIN REASON my husband wears a shirt swimming most times. There are times he will go without, but there are a lot more times when he will due to the burn factor.

I have (and this is not scientific fact by all means) read on here that with quick/fast weight loss you will have a lot more excess/loose skin. As well as over the course of time your body/skin/elasticity will have to "catch up" so to speak. Some have said with toning it still has taken MANY years for it to get better. A…

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it, but if it something you REALLY want to do/eat you can also get the baby food puree and add it to shakes/smoothies. They are very sweet indeed. I love them just by themselves. My husband HATES them (and raisins) and thinks I am crazy to eat them lol

Still a work in progess, but getting there!

Wow...I am 5'2" and I cannot imagine being less than 130 (and that is a LONG way from where I am right now) I was never tiny. I was always more muscular and meaty even when I thin. 126 in high school. The picture looks great! There is nothing wrong with it. I am just trying to wrap my brain around being that weight for…
