when I started weight lifting I gained 15 lbs. it tool a few weeks to come off.

I used to log as hikes when I manually logged....they were the off path crazy kind lots of Hill rocks to jump logs etc. I got a garmin and it logs it automatically and hike is not an option so I always log as a walk. I try not to eat back my exercise calories so for me it didn't really matter anyway...that being said if…

I have found a huge positive difference as well. I think it's a combo of exercise and feeding body with more vitamin rich foods and less processed crap..for me anyway. noble the exercise as small as it is helps huge for me...hope it will for you too.

I count hikes as walks.

As much as I hate a one piece (so many reasons lol) for laps that's what I wear. I through a paire of black shorts on till I get to the pool. Tankiini I feel like boobs will come out or bottoms fall down....just my experience. I love Tankiini for non exercise swimming.

I read that and made Sure I took pics.l amd I still regret not taking better ones...side back and front view. I look my pics in an ankle length dress so I can't see the change in my legs

I could never feel the strings but when I went in to have it removed 4 years in it was missing. xray and ultrasound didn't find it. had I not had pcos I'd probably ended up pregnant. the decline of mine was cramping and recurring bladder infections over and over. (haven't had one in a year since removed) I was getting…

I haven't found more money lol. I've never really drank so no savings there. I spend more money on groceries due to buying fresh foods. the money I saved on fast food I've spent on workout clothes and other clothes and running shoes.....come to think of it hope I haven't traded a food problem for a shopping problem. I try…

cathy glad you found your way back

same here it was fine at tje start. I always felt crappy. after having it out I became me again. it really messed with my moods...and so much else took a good 6 months till I was fully back to myself but had so many things it was my gp that linked it all to tje iud and wanted me to get it out...so glad I did. Friends have…

that's is horrible that someone would say that...how rude.

I was insulin resistant pre Diabeties in may and am not now. 40 years old lost 66 pounds. I do low carb cut out sugar and wheat , potatoes and eat 3 meals an's evening snack if I want it. ive been eating stuff i dont normally over last week with vacationa nd now im sick but most of tje time it holds true eating at meal…

amazing transformation!!! you like like your own daughter!!!

the mind is a funny thing. some days I catch my reflection and think wow my legs are getting so muscular other days I look in the mirror and see the old me. wonder who I will see when I'm t goal.

you look fantastic and what an achomplishment getting off diabetic meds. you must feel amazing!! kudos to you!! my dad has Diabeties and is on dialysis due to complications of it. it is so sad and breaks my heart what he goes through everyday. last may a week before my 40th bday I was depressed but didn't know…

Ebony dahlia you are an inspiration. so important to not get weight loss focused and remember why we started and why we are doing this. thanks for the reminder

to be out of tje 220's I was so happy to see them and I will be just as happy to say good but. And to get back into my lifting routine....I've been sick.

may I suggest at the stops you make walk around your rig if you can then twice etc....small steps. I couldn't walk around the block when I started and now I walk amd hike all the time.

I'm loving the definition in my legs they look so strong

I started may 2016 as well down 66 pounds. pcos for 20 years. I find exercise and low carb key to keep insulin I'm heck for me. hormones seem pretty balanced at the moment and that makes all tje difference for my moods. I can't do bc it makes me crazy! since loosing the 60 periods normal for first time ever...I'm 40. still…

I agree no need to feel like a dork. I started at 295 and am currently 230. I try not to eat wheat but it's for my health not as a fad. I try not to eat junk food but sometimes I do. I don't care what others eat if it works for them great!!! feel free to add me.

you look fantastic amd so much younger!

good for you!!!! I jave a long way to go still halfway there and I try to focus on tje body parts I like. my legs are so defined now....I skip over tje belly lol.

you are doing great!! such a difference in your middle good job!!

you have done fantastic. something that helps me is to focus on all the things I'm doing right and not beating myself up for tje negatives. also I take out my biggest pants and underware and lay my current ones on top. I'm down 67 with 70 still to go. I can't stay here if I don't push forward I will go backwards and I…

you can do it....better to catch it with 17 to loose then tje full 38 or more!

went to disney for 9 days and hit 17 to 20 k steps a day. I logged my food most days and made good choices. felt in control the whole trip:)

I flew and got to tighten the belt instead of sucking in and praying it did up

passing on a dole whip at disney cause I just want hungry!

Wow what an amazing difference good for you!!
