My goal is to lose about 40 pounds- it's great to see the difference. What was your starting weight and current weight? Congrats!!!

I'm adopting a cat from a shelter this coming week! Can't wait to get him- then I can post kitty pic too! I love cats

Being older (60), and having high cholesterol, I don't eat these- chicken/turkey sausage or turkey bacon is best I get. Yep, I'm jealous....

You have so much to be proud of! You look great-so healthy! I'm so impressed with the progress you've made with running-now that is really something :o

Oooooo- that's one of my big goals- to get off my CPAP machine! How much did you lose to make this happen? And congrats- I hate CPAP so much!

I changed my micro settings as I wanted lower carbs, but that's a personal choice- I have mine set to 1300 cal (before exercise) 35% carbs, 35% protein, 30% fat- I set a loss to 1 pound a week which give or take a bit is basically what I'm losing. My goal is to lose about 40 pounds- down 15 so far in 12 weeks. I also eat…

Good for you! This site has helped me a lot- keeps me honest about my eating and lots of good info and friendly advice. I'm wondering if there are forums on here which specifically focus on those who have large weight loss goals- might be worth looking into. I wish you the best! As Torstar80 said- you've taken the first…

WOW! 98 pounds- that's so impressive! Looking good!

awwww- sorry- but good to know. How have you been fasting? Just curious- are you doing the 5-2 thing?

Wondering what "a lot of carbs is?" I eat about 100 grams of complex carbs a day which doesn't seem like a lot to me- I've gone the super low carb route in the past- did not feel well on that diet.

WOW! That's amazing persistence and commitment. You look fabulous! I'm working on losing about 40 total (down 15 so far), it seems like so much! You are an inspiration-thank you for sharing

Hey fellow introverts- of course we all like these forums- don't have to actually chat and we can leave whenever we want! It's perfect! Ok...see ya later :)

Congrats! (I'm so jealous... >:) )

I had 2 glasses of wine Saturday night and felt hungover on Sunday- for me it's the sulfites in the white wine- just makes me feel blah....if you really are only having a couple, make sure to drink water in between drinks-alcohol also dehydrates you- but you might have a problem with something in the wine like I do-I love…

5'3"- CW 179- I'll be 60 in a few weeks- have lost 15 pounds in 12 weeks- I eat 1300 hundred cal a day and 1400 on days I walk for 45-60 min. About once a week I'll eat about 1700 cal- weight loss has been consistent and I feel fine- I eat a super healthy whole food diet with occasional splurges. I could never stick to…

Guess I'm lucky- I get fat evenly and lose pretty evenly- but the first thing I've noticed is slimmer face, belly and ankles- a lot of bloat I'd imagine- like someone stuck a pin in me :D

Yep, yep, yep-couldn't agree more-

I take Nature Thyroid for low thyroid (which is naturally dissected hormone-Synthoid did nothing to relieve symptoms) it works great for me-no side effects- have lost 15 pounds in about 11 weeks, no problem, and I mostly just walk for exercise(60 min.)- it takes a while for your body to adjust-before medication I was…

wow! You really did it! Congrats-well done

I agree- I weigh myself 2-3 times a week and use a trending app as well. If I only weighed myself, say every Friday, I know I'd get discouraged if I didn't see a loss- sometimes I'll go 10 days with no loss, than BAM-down 2 pounds. I mostly walk for exercise-usually an hour (in PT for messed up shoulder). I eat between…

I never had the handles- I jump, jog, jumping jacks, twists, etc. -put on headphones- it's a nice change from other stuff- I know Bellicon has tons of videos on you tube as well- if you get one, I'd suggest one with Bungee cords rather than springs

yes, it is a fun workout! - don't those also have bungee cords and not springs? Bungee cords make a world of difference- love my Bellicon

I bought the chocolate and vanilla to try- ewwwww- this stuff is gross! Strangest texture and not creamy, just weird. Also made me sick to my stomach- weird crampy feeling

My exercise is mainly walking (I'm in PT for messed up arm/shoulder), anyway, having lost 14 pounds I can already feel a big difference on my knees, maybe think about an eating plan as something that can heal you much faster rather than as deprivation- "Every pound of excess weight exerts about 4 pounds of extra pressure…
