OMG - yes. My biggest problem is that there isn't room for much once I've done a shop for all the other fruits and veggies we need!

One other idea - depending on when you usually start eating - you could start adjusting your "start" time toward 11am a day or two at a time. If you usually eat at 6am, try 6:30am tomorrow and 7:00am the next day, etc.

I've got nothing new to add but want to thank everyone who came before me for the awesome new ideas!

My husband did this. Potatoes for two weeks - no seasoning, just potatoes, but he included white, sweet, red, etc. A mono-diet for a short amount of time isn't a problem nutritionally. For the last 5 months he's been eating vegetables, rice and beans and has lost close to 80 pounds. He hasn't felt deprived. AND - he also…

nice job!

Thank you so much for sharing - this is exactly the inspiration I needed to see today!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing your pictures - they're inspiring!

This morning I walked into Kohls (a department store) in my mom's town. I asked the first salesperson I saw where the Women's section was. She gave me a strange look (because there are women's clothes everywhere) and said, "right here, and there, and around that wall and across the aisle" (I totally get why she looked at…

way to go!

I so appreciate that you posted this question and that so many people have answered. I've been struggling with the exact same thing (including too much hair falling out in the shower!). From what I've read the last few weeks, sweat won't make your hair smell, but you might want to rinse your hair out if you feel gross. I…

It's a question of how much you burned through exercise. What did you do and for how long?

totally inspirational - thank you so much for sharing your story!

love hearing your story - thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for posting. I think our shapes are similar and I would love to lose another 50 and have a similar profile.

you look amazing! Thanks for sharing your pics and being so inspiring. No need to be defensive about surgery. It's a lifesaver for many people and I've never met anyone who made the decision lightly.

Thanks so much for sharing your journey, your pictures and the inspiration. I can totally see the difference in the pictures and you look great. I'll look forward to hear about more successes!

way to go!

So helpful! Can this be done in the desktop version? (I've been looking and can't find it)

Congrats! Awesome transformations and totally inspirational - thanks for posting!

amazing and inspirational - thank you!

also check out thrift stores for kettlebells and/or heavier dumbbells (or even bar bells).

I've used phentermine - it was a life saver for me. (My doctor first prescribed Qsymia and when my insurance stopped covering it she prescribed phentermine.) And, it should only be used for a few months before taking a break. I took a six month break and then gave it another three months. Both times I went off, I gained…

I needed this inspiration this morning - thank you! You look amazing and are proof that working one day at a time leads to success.

I also use the Champion ones from Target. Comfortable and nothings moving that shouldn't be.

You look amazing - thanks for posting your story and pictures. I'm inspired!

Way to go! Thanks for the inspiration!

I don't have a slow cooker but I make beans alot. I learned from Mark Bittman that you don't actually have to soak beans before you cook them. I haven't soaked in years and i name at least 1 pot and often 2 (in the winter) each week.

wow - what an amazing job you've done! Thanks for posting and for the inspiration!

If you have a trader joe's near you, they have a lot of different frozen meals that aren't so expensive. They only work if you've got the calories to spare.... If there's a fridge or freezer available, make some soup/chili and bring containers for the week (and hopefully you don't get sick of eating it!)

When I tried spinning for the first time, my only goal was to stay on the bike. I didn't worry about going as fast as everyone or doing the same things they did. I did that for a few weeks until I was comfortable with everything and able to start feeling comfortable. You can do this!
