I'm in! Am in a fall challenge that is ending at the end of the month and would love to post in one that goes until June! I only have 24lbs left to lose but it's going pretty slow now. Starting weight with MFP: 230lbs Starting weight for challenge: 153.7lbs Goal Weight: 130 but maybe 125 Dec. (Goal 150lbs) 4th - 153.7lbs…

I've lost 76lbs now and have 24 to go. Even now when I'm feeling discouraged I have to remind myself that if I'm eating at a deficit and I'm logging accurately my weight will go down.

Yea you're right I didn't log the right brand, I logged the bun I thought I was going to buy which is 120 cals for 43 grams but went with the 130cal a bun brand. Welp lol what's 13 calories. Thanks for that I would have never noticed!

I bought burger buns today. The package said one bun (43 grams) was 130 calories decided to actually weigh it (I don't usually) and it was 53 grams. Only a 17 calorie difference but still not what the package said.

Ugh wish I looked as good as you at 159 at 153(my weight rn) lol but sadly I am 5'3" 26lbs is a great accomplishment! Be proud girl you look awesome!

If you have rib cage bruises then you are not wearing the right size. You would rather be in pain than feel unsupported? A long time ago I thought tighter was better, the higher the girls were the more supported they were. And then I invested in a real bra. Took a little bit to get used to the feeling of them not being so…

Went from a 40DDD at 230lbs and 5'3" to a 32H (according to online size calculators) at 153lbs. My bust is actually bigger for my body then they were before lol I expect to not get past a DD but who knows. If you're having doubts then wait, if it's covered then it will always be an option.

Wow you are absolutely stunning girl! Congrats!!

I would never waste 360 calories on oil. I use a tsp which is 40 cals. "I don't feel that there are 3 spoons of olive oil" I don't understand this. How would you be able to feel it? Do you use actual measuring spoons? Because if you're not you could actually be using more than you think. I didn't realize how small a tbsp…

I was a big night snacker before losing weight so I switched the chips and dip for cucumbers and salsa. Still crunchy and salty.

No lol for some reason it works perfectly for me. No green and crumbly.

My eggs always peel perfectly. (When I say always I literally mean always) Boil water, add eggs to boiled water, boil for 20 minutes exactly. (Don't turn element off, keep it on high) Run eggs under cold water until cool enough to handle. Smash egg on plate/counter/hard surface. Peel. (Obviously don't smash too hard lol)…

^^ I spent years observing every little roll I had grow. So I was very aware when they started to shrink. My father started at around the same weight as you. The thing is I only see him about twice a week so every time I see him it's noticeable to me, it's not very noticeable to him. Measurements will be your best bet for…

Red grapes (have to be crunchy) and old cheddar cheese. So good. Also, cucumbers with salsa or tuna on cucumbers (is that weird? I'm not sure lol)

Honestly, how happy I became. How proud of myself I am. Just my general outlook on life is a lot brighter.

Same. Drinking just isn't worth it to me anymore. Would much rather stay in my deficit or eat something delicious. Once I start going it's hard to stop. So I know 2 beers is going to turn into 4 (or more if we're being honest). One glass is going to turn into a bottle (or 2). Plus hangovers so no thanks.

I sometimes can't differentiate hunger from tiredness. If I start to get hungry late at night and it's not a stomach growling hungry I usually chalk it up to tiredness.

"I'll only eat half" lol ya right. Good thing I leave some calories for my lies. I guess not cheating then tho.

Thanks everyone!!

I'm still wearing the size 12s I've been wearing for the last 30lbs but I can also fit into a pair of jeans I couldn't fit before. Jeans are weird.

Left: 230lbs Right:157lbs Still want to lose about 30

Breaking this little plateau I seem to be on. I'm determined! It even got me to start working out.

Hey girl. I checked out your profile and your "about me". I can totally relate. Before now the only time I was at a weight I liked was when I lost due to drugs, or pretty much starving myself. I never knew how easy simply counting calories would be. I thought losing weight was so far out of my reach that I didn't bother…

My co-worker yesterday said "are you losing weight, or are you sick or?" lol bless her heart tho I know she didn't mean it in a rude way. Some people just don't know how to bring it up. My other co-worker came to me and said "you're looking goooood" all people are different. I for example am a terrible compliment giver so…

I feel you OP. I have good days and bad days. I started at 230lbs and am now around 155. Progress pictures definitely help. Every month I'll take a a full body picture and then compare it to my heaviest. Congratulations on 55lbs down!

"...and I soon realised that I had to taste test my baked goods before they went out" I don't think your problem was coffee or sugar.

I'll drink a coffee as soon as I wake up. It works as an appetite suppressant for me so it gives me a couple of hours before I get hungry.
