"Don't cry to quit. You are already hurt. You are already in pain. Get a reward from it!" Keep going - we are with you. You got this!

I have the stupidest reason... but my theory has always been... if have I have to go Jason Bourne style... one of the first things they ask is "any visible markings or tattoos?" Get some rest @LZMiner , you look tired.

Yes please! And then Doritos.

I can't stop laughing....

39 1/3... add away

I've been a little terrified of this number. When you're only doing calories... its possible to put doritos on your salad. just sayin... Thanks for the program tips!

People think you're sick.

When i started, i was 240. A flabby not ok 240. I got that way by putting doritos on my sandwiches and queso on everything else. I lost 60 pounds... got to 180... maintained... and then just got slack... This time, starting at 200, trying to get back to 180. I still have the occasional dorito sandwich... or queso fries...…

+1 First off - way to go!!! Be proud no matter what you wear. If you want to wear a bikini... do it!. you've earned it! As far as confidence... over 50 pounds... over 50 effing pounds!!!! c'mon! over 50 pounds! When you try on your bikini... you strut around saying that :smiley:

I'd like to lose 5 in June too... that'd be nice. SW: 240 CW: 194 July 1 Goal: 189 Ultimate Goal: 180

Thanks everyone! Good perspective here. I keep doing them as part of my circuit... I just didn't know if there was something better to do. Sounds like it doesn't hurt to keep them around.

+1. I lost 60 pounds last year. I tried to mix it up. A lot of HIIT sessions will cover both. I think when you're starting the journey, its easy to get lost in the specifics of what this day what that day how many macros, etc etc. What worked for me was eating less and moving more.

+1 I try to account for it during the day and leave myself a few calories... but i do like my end of the day drink(s).

Twinsies. It was really annoying after such a big loss to see how quickly i put 20 of the 60 back on. So here I am again... eating effing carrots :P

i want hot selfies. i never share them... but i like taking them and being like... awwwww yeah. Vain... I know. I lost 60 pounds last year... i've put 20 back... so here I am again. If I get healthier in the process... cool. I don't really want a social circle... so ... more selfies for me.... yay.

You. Are. Not. Fat. So shut it. You have a goal you're working too. So be beautiful while you get there.

You rock!

yes... i have for 15 years now.... not sure where the middle actually is tho.

Congrats! Keep up the nice work.

I don't know what it's called... but i do the same thing. Some days i can come in 400-600 calories under and not blink... other days... i'm eating 1 green bean to be at zero. I think it works. Good luck!

its sooooooo tough. i live to eat at night. so i do three things: 1) limit what i keep at the house - like chulipa said - but i keep a few things ;) B) water - i drink a lot of water at night. Then i have to get up and pee a lot (bonus steps!) 4) Plan it! I know some days i want a drinks... or chips... or both... i do my…

The first time i hit my goal (I'm back at it again) - that last 7 was just brutal. i started skipping rest days of cardio and running sprints. I would sprint for 20 seconds... walk for 5.... sprint for 20... walk for 5. It didn't take long. After about 10 minutes of that i was exhausted, but the heart was racing and the…

so.... some people say don't do this... but i do. I weigh myself every morning - its the first thing i do. I know when its gonna be bad (Sunday morning), but i make myself do it - cause when its good...awwwwww yeah! I also take a ton of progress pics and use the app to do a side by side compare. I can see... literally…

Roast

+1. I LOVE eating at night ( and a drink or four). I bank those Cala during the day as much as possible. I also try and drink a lot of water.

I find it easier to hop on my feed or avthread and see how hard people are working. Or how many days in a row they log in. We can do this!

I'm so vain... I just want good selfies

+1 here. I try to do 100 crunches or Russian twists before my shower every day. It's not as much as I'd like... but it's something!

I lost 60 last year with MFP. The support here is great. I slacked and put about 30 back on. It's so hard With the crazy life schedules. Let's do this.
