Hey there! I have one semester of nursing school left. It's been really hard doing that overweight!! I'd say surround yourself with as many people as you can that have health goals. Adding people here on mfp can be a great motivation! Good luck and congrats on graduating :)

My goal weight: 145. 'Actual', if no one had told me: 165-175. I felt so good in that range. My body proportions fat well. 5'9"

Hi there! So my family is pretty big on paleo in general [not me], and the one thing I've noticed is once you start eating carbs again and then try to go back to not eating carbs and working out, you feel like garbage. Your brain learned to use ketones [which, honestly, your body and brain can use more 'effectively' than…

Are you five days before your period? I always gain five pounds then. Have you eaten a ton of salt? Have you started a new exercise program? Are you drinking enough water? It's very likely that same five pounds were related to water weight. At 1800 calories, depending on your height and starting weight, that's going to be…

I have a bit over 80lbs to lose, 36lbs down currently. Anyone here can feel free to add me :)

Awesome job!! I want so bad to fit into those galaxy leggings LOL. You look amazing, that's quite an achievement.

I carry the majority of my weight in my thighs/butt. However the first place I notice weight loss is in my waist area/stomach/haunches[like cats, that spot just above the butt haha]. I guess "first on, last off" is pretty true for me.

Nerd here as well, anime, video games [WoW, Overwatch], D&D, the list goes on haha. Heck I'm even making my own anime-inspired comic. Anyone can feel free to add me :)

Grats on the first five! I'm gonna echo the others saying skip the tea you picked. Instead you can go with green tea 30-45 minutes after every meal [Caffeine free for the last one ~] And you'll have a nice little extra burn without the harmful effects of laxative teas. Keep going, you got this!

Added you, much luck to you on your journey!

This is my second go around as well. :) I lost 50lbs my first go and gained about 20lb back. So from this point I'd like to lose at least 40lb. :P I'm active every day and can never have too many fit friends! Trying to get all of the 40lb lost before December as it's my Pinning Ceremony for nursing school. [more would be…

Awesome job, you look fantastic! Those tan lines are pretty cool too hahaha

Awesome job!! Keep going, you're doing great!

Good work choosing what's best for your physical and mental health! Welcome to MFP, you got this!

If you're losing inches, that's what really matters. There's also a phenomenon where your fat cells that are emptying fill temporarily with water and then all the sudden a pound will drop off overnight, looks like this happened to the poster above me.

My mini goal right now is 3 mini goals, lose 30lbs before the start of my last semester of nursing school. So 10lb a month. It'll be a total of 60lbs down, but I'll still need to lose another 10-20lb.
-
Wow awesome job!! That's an insane difference! You look gorgeous :)

Hi Ayla! This is sort of my second go around too. I'd lost a good chunk of weight and then gained about 20lbs back, so now I'm hoping to lose 40lb overall. I also have the lofty goal of losing 30 of that before my final semester of nursing school starts in the fall. I turn 26 in August. One thing I learned is that weight…

Tracking your usual eating for a couple days is a good place to start. It really shows you where you're going wrong. Take BEFORE pictures! Take measurements! Make friends with positive people here on MFP, watching their progress is motivating. Always log everything you eat. Be consistent. A food scale is really helpful.…

Hi Amanda, that's my name too. This is my second go as well. Anyone can feel free to add me. I lost 50lb, gained 20lb back over a year and now I want to lose another 40lb. ^^

This is a great thread idea. Yogurt - danon Greek w/chocolate covered pretzels to be specific, doesn't taste like greek yogurt haha Tyson pre-cooked grilled chicken strips - [these taste so good without any work] Frozen vegetables - especially a 3 pepper and onion blend Romaine Hearts for salad Some sort of nut butter -…

I'm not starting over completely, I had lost 50lbs and then for over a year slowly gained 20 back. I'd like to lose about 40lbs now, starting back at it today. My advice is not look at the overall goal too much, take it day by day, week by week. Be excited those days you end the day under your goal and be analytical those…
