Wow!! Way to go @bruhaha007 !! You've really leaned out and looks like you've built muscle. Well done! Great progress. B)

Thank you, you're so kind! @bruhaha007

The 16 weeks are over!!!!! I feel like I'm a completely different person than I was in February. Inside and out. I'm happy with my results and don't plan on stopping here. Well done everyone for sticking with it! Can't wait to see everyone's results. :# Here are mine. Please pardon the mistake of week 17 instead of week…

Everyone is doing so awesome!! Well done!! We're so close to the end of the challenge. One more week to go! Looking back over the last 16 weeks has made me realize how far I've come mentally. It's not just about losing weight. It's about learning to love yourself no matter what and treating your body in the way it…

Good to hear from you @bruhaha007 ! I'm still here too!! Down 11.2 lbs. I've cleaned up my eating and I'm really excited to see what the next few months will bring. I'm looking forward to taking my 16 week progress pics!

Well done everyone! Almost half way! I'm thankful for all the support here and at home. Without you, I wouldn't be able to do this. <3

Awesome!! Congrats! @SouleGirl802

Well done everyone! Here are my "day one" pics. I really hope to see some improvement in the midsection by June. :#

@bruhaha007 and @bradygin Thanks guys!! And yes, I have the same question!!! Only one square??? I can't have goodies in my house either, otherwise I eat them, as today proved. Haha! @Sixlees I hear ya! I am too! A 6-pack of crispy creme donuts? No problem. A large family-size bag of cheese puffs? Easy! I could go on. Drown…

I messed up today by eating a creme egg, mini eggs and a ton of jelly beans. All sugar. 770 calories. Smh. Here's to being better tomorrow.

That's weird. I wrote a whole paragraph! Not sure why only the first sentence showed up. Anyway, I had said that here are my 'day one' pics and that I can't believe I'm a actually posting them!! :s I'm leaving for Ireland to visit my family on Saturday, Mar 5, so I probably won't be able to post any progress pics until I…

Figured I'd go ahead and get this over and done with.

Hi everyone! I'm excited to do this challenge with you all. My name is Naomi, I'm 5'6, 28, and would like to lose 50 lbs total but I'm aiming to lose 15 lbs in the next 16 weeks. I live in Charlotte NC and attend the local Metro CrossFit gym. I work out 5 days a week usually, but my eating habits of late, leave a lot to be…

Wow, congrats and well done! I'll definitely be adding you and picking your brain! Thank you!

Thank you! I need that!!

Trina, thank you so much for your sound advice and suggestions. Well done for losing the weight! You're so right about weighing/measuring being an eye opener! Just now I was fixing my lunch and I like to add a bit of garlic olive oil vinegarette to my salad. I usually just pour it on, no measuring. Today I measured,…

Lol! Yep, I figured that! Haha! I'm gaining so much muscle too tho, it's crazy! And it's fun to see! I totally flex in front of the mirror in a daily basis. Haha! For the most part I agree with you that it's calories in vs calories out but a huge part is 'what' you're eating. Sugar, even natural sugar, turns straight to…

Thanks so much! Yeah that's how I feel. I'm DEFINITELY not a starve yourself type of person. I love food way too much. When I said "diet is 90%", I meant more like your lifestyle. What you do 90% of the time when you're not in the gym is going to be what shapes you. Pun intended :wink: I think if I can stay consistent with…

I'd love to add you! Yes, it sounds as though we're in the same boat. I love food soooo much! We so got this!!

Hi! Nice to meet you! And yes, I agree! I'll be sure to add u. Thank you for your encouragement! (Btw, what part of the U.K. are u in? I'm from Ireland but my parents are originally from the uk and most of my family still live there. In the midlands. I've lived in the US for the past 10 years now tho. Going back to Ireland…

Well done! Yeah I'm hoping the logging will stop me from binging too. Especially because I made my diary open to people who add me, so I'm held accountable. Wow, you're so good for meal prepping. I'm definitely a "moody" eater so I'm afraid that even if I do take the time on the weekends to prep, that I just won't be in…

Wow! 3 kids!! How do you do it? Yeah you're so right about not buying the stuff everyone (me

You sound exactly like me! But yeah, like you said, I've learned "you can't outrun your fork" and "abs are made in the kitchen". So no matter how much I work out, I'll never look the way I want to look if I don't clean up my eating habits! I really want to focus on that, starting now. Well done for losing 68 pounds.

Thank you so much!! And I am so impressed! Well done you!!

Thanks!! I'm really focusing on my eating habits now. My CrossFit classes are a combination of strength training, oly weight lifting etc, then a cardio workout that combines strength and stamina. I love it.

I've made my diary open to friends. Add me!!

Same here! 28 y/o 5'6, with about 50 pounds to lose. Let's do this!

Btw, forgot to mention I'm 5'6.

Would love to connect with people dealing with the same things.
