Before and during. March 28th vs about two weeks ago at 214. Now I'm at 210, but I'm at work so I can't take a new one. :D

Currently working to get off 11 pounds to make it below 200 for the first time in three years!

I'm beginning to see my collar bone again, I'm down several inches all over, and thanks to lifting, I'm stronger than ever.

Original starting weight - 250 May starting weight - 214 May goal - 209 Ultimate goal - 150 1st - 214 8th - 212.5 15th - 210 22nd - 29th - Total loss for May -

I think that is an excellent idea and just what I was leaning toward.

That is exactly what I've been thinking. I need to hide that little sucker from myself until the 28th of every month, I swear. My measurements have been drastically going down each time I take them (probably once every two-three weeks.)

Ditto with getting too obsessed. I can tell that everything fits me soooo loosely now but then I look at the scale and go; "HOW?!" Then the water weight drops off and I'm even lighter than I was at the last weigh in and feel good for two weeks before it all starts again. :D It's a vicious cycle.

I've been using Happy Scale but I don't think it makes me feel any better about it? I'm apparently SUPER prone to holding onto a lot of water and it becomes very, very exhausting.

I never used to weigh myself so religiously, I think I just get more neurotic as I get older. :D

Original starting weight - 250 May starting weight - 214 May goal - 209 Ultimate goal - 150 1st - 214 8th - 212.5 (after arguing with 6 pounds of water weight for the last week, than god it’s gone) 15th - 22nd - 29th - Total loss for May -

Big hands, strong arms, blue eyes. Ugh. I'm pretty much just a huge sucker for my husband. :D

5'10", do I count? Looking to lose about another 65 pounds.

SW: 250 CW: 214 GW: 150 Goals for May: Get more involved in strength training, continue to eat on the deficit I've been eating at since March 28th, hopefully drop below 210. Goals for the Long-Term: Keep up exercise, tracking and eating well. Don't slack off and gain everything back. Set-backs as of 5/7: Carrying about 6…

Haha, weelllll. Mostly I just couldn’t afford to feed myself. If I’d had it my way I would’ve still been eating like a hog, I’m sure. One day I woke up and my pants REALLY didn’t fit and I was just like “...oh”.

I am at work... not working. :D

This is my second time around. But this time I'm actually trying- not starving and walking 12-15 miles a day. The lesson that losing weight and then gaining it back is more important than any lesson just losing could teach me. No matter what; you have to take care of yourself. You can't eat whatever and lie around and…

This is totally true. I have one friend who saw my recent strides and successes and all at once committed herself to eat well and going to the gym... A day later I went to check in with her and she completely blew off the subject. Came into work a few days later (we work together, but only one day a week anymore) and she…

Calves: 17.5" Thighs: 23" Bust: 43" Waist: 37.5" Hips: 46.5" Weight: 214 lbs Height: 5'10" Body fat: 30.7% I'm built like an Amazon Warrior, though, so. Would have never considered myself anywhere near "average".

I usually have a smoothie for breakfast, but I definitely wouldn't rely on them for fat burning. Mostly I just make them because I'm never hungry in the morning and they go down easy. I do a cup of strawberries cut in half and a banana with a half cup of plain greek yogurt. Add a half-cup full of ice and the same amount of…

Someone needs to inspire me to get bulky because I started lifting last night and let me tell ya- I had a lot fun, but I am SO SORE. Particularly my thighs (inner and back) and my GLUTES.

First time strength training for half an hour last night at 7pm and again for another 15 this morning at 5:30. I hurt, someone end my misery.

I have! I love that thread!

I've been there. I know it's hard. It's difficult to find it in yourself to change but once you recognize the problem you've already taken a step in the right direction. It's a long road, but you can do it!

Keeping up my strength training every day that I can and not giving up on it.

I haven't quite found success yet- but I'm definitely changed for the better to get there. For me, I was always a chubby kid. And I always hated myself for it. I convinced myself there was nothing I could do to change it. By the time I reached 21 I weighed 260 pounds- my absolute heaviest weight. I'd walk on the treadmill…

I work a lot... and it's a desk job. I don't usually even manage to get in 10,000 steps on an average day and I work so late that I can only manage actual exercise for a few minutes a couple days a week. Simply counting my calories very meticulously has gotten me down from 250 to 214 since March 28th. The trick is to be…

I made it to 214 since the last time I posted in here on April 5th. Then I was stuck at 225! Now my goal is to get to 200. After that, we'll shift the goal again. Right now, I'm just on the high of being super proud of myself.

Yes. This. I don't think I practice IIFYM on purpose? But I definitely won't kill myself to only eat healthy things. I still love candy and burgers and bread. Oh God, how I love bread. And I lose just as much all the same.

Cotton candy ice cream :'(
