...and butter comes from butterflies :D

It costs more to eat less, and less to eat more?

I know too many farmers who sell their regular beans as organic. They get more money that way. I wonder how many people who pay extra to eat organic are really eating the same stuff the rest of us are

Add me please!

I haven't bought any special food since starting this weight loss journey. I've lost 22 lbs in 82 days eating the same foods that made me fat. I just try to stay within my calories. I go over lots of times. I also 'try' to run on the treadmill 5x a week, but I end up missing weeks at a time:/ But I'm still happy with the…

Welcome

Count me in. I am currently 192 lbs aiming to be 185 lbs by the end of January.

All good things come from above (can't remember where in the bible that's from).

I've lost 18.5 lbs in 73 days cooking and eating the exact same food that I got fat from in the first place.

I'm 5'8". I've lost 17.5 lbs since October 24. I started with 1,500 calories and ran on the treadmill 5x a week burning 159 each time. I reduced my calories to 1,400 about a week ago and haven't ran for about 2 weeks now, and my weight loss has slowed down:/. I'm just so lazy!

I've only lost 20 lbs so far (I'm 195 now, 5'8") and I feel like it's quite the difference already:)

I've lost an automobile tire

I was 18 years old and 145 lbs when I first became pregnant. Didn't know anything about eating healthy or portion sizes or CICO. Up until then I had never had to think about such things, so I gained 60 lbs. Never lost anything from breastfeeding. I had 3 more babies and kept getting bigger. My all time high I think was…

Near London Ontario with 40 lbs to lose.

I too have been experiencing this. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I wonder if it isn't because of drinking so much water when we're trying to lose weight. I wonder this because whenever I've been pregnant I become quite ill and dehydrate to the point where I have to have an i.v. and a few seconds into it I always start…

Because every Sunday morning, after trying all my church clothes on twice, trying to find something that would make me look thinner than I was, I hated myself.

I probably wasn't always in a calorie deficit. I kinda, sorta tried to keep track of my calories on paper and was probably always going over (didn't know about this awesome mfp back then). Maybe I will give Jillian another go! But just thinking about it makes me sweat :/

I'm 33 years old with 4 kids and I'd like to do the shred again (maybe:/). I did it a few years ago and had good results in inches but not so much in lbs. I'm afraid if I do the shred, my weight loss will stall and I'll get discouraged.

I hit 199.5 yesterday! So happy

Thanks everyone☺

I wanted to lose 20 lbs by Christmas. I have 10 more to go.

1 1/2 lbs! Getting out from under the big 2 is hard!

Ontario, Canada

I ate steel cut oats every breakfast back when I was nursing and losing weight. It's suppose to help with milk supply, and it seemed to help. I can't remember how many calories I was eating back then, but I was losing weight and doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred.

Great job! You look amazing!

I gain 3-5 lbs 3 days before my period starts, and lose it 3 days after my period's over.
