I am going to the beach in 18 weeks. I want to feel strong and healthy and actually enjoy my vacation. The last time I went I got so tired walking through the sand from the hotel to the water I just stayed at the pool. I want to spend my whole time in the sand!

My 11 year old daughter was able to put her arms all the way around my waist to hug me.

Maybe you can reframe how you look at your calorie goal a little differently. It is just a guide to help you meet your goals. Do you look at your bank account with the same "this account isn't going to tell me how many dollars I can spend!"? I sure hope not. Your calorie budget is the same way. It lets you know what you've…

I will have to log and track for the rest of my life. I have gained and lost and gained and lost so many times I know I can't do it just on intuition.

Hi! I have posted on the general forum a couple of times, and members here have invited me to join y'all! Thanks! I have always struggled with my weight. Most recently, in December 2019, I found myself weighing 435lbs. I was half-heartedly watching what I was eating after the first of the year and lost 14lbs. I got serious…

In December, I weighed in at 435 lbs. I started cutting back what I was eating some and had lost 14lbs by March. I got serious when we started sheltering in place by counting my calories and walking, and I have since lost 73.6lbs. I made a commitment to log everything I eat. No matter what, I put it in my diary. When I…

Hi! In December 2019, I could not safely have a surgery that I desperately need because it was unsafe to put me under anesthesia. I weighed 435 lbs. I started cutting back some, and by March had lost 15lbs. When Covid hit, I got serious, because frankly, I was scared of dying. As of this morning, I have lost 69lbs. Whether…
